Sotech Launches Optima Clip Plank: a Sleek Durable and Versatile Facade Solution

Sotech is proud to introduce Optima Clip Plank, the latest addition to our high-performance facade solutions.

Precision-engineered for modern architecture, Optima Clip Plank combines sleek design, exceptional strength, and versatile installation options, making it suitable for a wide range of project types – from contemporary hotels to student accommodation and beyond.

Manufactured in-house from non-combustible materials, the system features folded metal planks with concealed aluminium bracket clips securing the plank in place, creating a seamless, uninterrupted facade with exceptional structural integrity.

Designed for Strength, Span and Style

Optima Clip Plank is engineered to give architects and contractors the freedom to bring ambitious designs to life. Its concealed clip system delivers a clean, uninterrupted finish, while precision-engineered aluminium planks provide strength and stability for long spans and taller face heights.

Whether your design calls for open-ended planks for a contemporary linear look, or closed-ended profiles for crisp, defined panel edges, Optima Clip Plank adapts seamlessly – providing both visual impact and high-performance reliability.

Perfect for high-spec architectural projects, this system balances aesthetic flexibility with robust, long-lasting performance, making it an ideal solution for modern façades that demand style and substance.

Tested, Certified, and Built to Last

Optima Clip Plank has been rigorously tested to meet CWCT Sequence B standards and certified by UL Solutions for both horizontal and vertical applications. Sotech’s continued efforts in testing and innovation combined for over 40 years make us a trusted choice.
