What is a panel connector?
With a panel connector, you can firmly and securely join panels or boards made of a wide variety of materials together, providing you with a versatile construction element.
With Klem, this is done by firmly screwing together two sturdy clamping jaws, which hold all types of boards and panels firmly together with their clever silicone inserts. The Klem connector enables uncomplicated assembly and is extremely easy to use. Ideal for teachers, pupils, parents and, if necessary, for the principal himself.
The Klem panel connector is the actual link between the panels, which are not damaged and, unlike other connectors, do not require any drilling. The Klem connection can be released and reopened as often as required. Ideal for use in schools and educational institutions.
