• enables fully glazed, fully finished windows and doors to be installed into timberframe and SIPS panels as part of the offsite production
• includes a wide range of clip on cill solutions that enable cills over 200mm to be added after erection of the timber frame structure

KitFix^® can integrate air tightness solutions for between the fenestration and the structure giving an air tightness performance as low as zero m³/hr/m² @ 50 Pascals.
