Air leakage and pressure management

NEXUS can be equipped with gaskets to reduce air leakage and ensure an airtight, dust-free installation. Here's a quick look at the process:

Gasket installation: Installed on either side of the extrusion before placing the tile on top.

Secure fastening: An M6 bolt, penny washer, and channel nut ensure the tile remains firmly against the gasket.

Weighted tiles: Applied every 10 tiles to allow void access while reducing air leakage.

Custom solutions tailored for your needs

NEXUS is available in a wide range of grid configurations. While the load capacity is based on a popular 1.2m x 1.2m grid configuration, other configurations can be accommodated. Contact our technical team for assistance to ensure your specific needs are met.
