The Klem panel connector is characterized by its simple functionality: By screwing together two resistant clamping jaws, the panels are held together securely without damage or drilling. This method guarantees quick assembly and easy handling, making it an ideal tool for students, teachers and technical staff.
This simple assembly makes the Klem ideal for versatile use in academic environments. It is reusable, durable and a practical solution for flexible room designs and projects.
