The \u003cb\u003e30\u003c\/b\u003e is the module frame height it is cut for – a 30 mm framed panel sits flush against it. Choose the finish above: \u003cb\u003ewhite\u003c\/b\u003e, or \u003cb\u003eblack anodised\u003c\/b\u003e for an all-black array.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"crx-lede\"\u003eA slim section, \u003cb\u003e32.5 mm high and 20.8 mm wide\u003c\/b\u003e, in EN AW-6063 T66 aluminium. It clips onto the mounting rail at \u003cb\u003eboth the top and the bottom end of the module block\u003c\/b\u003e, so a finished row is closed at both edges rather than just capped along the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"crx-h\"\u003eWhat the cover is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo jobs, and only one of them is cosmetic. It stops dirt and water collecting inside the insertion rails, which is a genuine maintenance point on a channel that would otherwise sit open to the sky for twenty years. And it closes the visible edge of the array, which is most of the reason InsertionRail gets specified over a clamped system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eK2 rate the InsertionRail 2.0 system for \u003cb\u003efacade\u003c\/b\u003e as well as pitched roof, and the cover earns its keep more on a wall than on a roof: it is at eye level and seen square on, rather than at a glancing angle from the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"crx-h\"\u003eWhich finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunctionally identical – the choice is appearance. On a black-framed module the \u003cb\u003eblack anodised\u003c\/b\u003e cover disappears into the array. On anything else the \u003cb\u003ewhite\u003c\/b\u003e is the one to take, and it is the cheaper of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"crx-note\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cb\u003eOn the anodising\u003c\/b\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAnodised finish may show slight signs of scratching due to packaging and transport. That is K2's own note against the black version, and it is worth passing on to a customer buying specifically for appearance before the pallet is unwrapped in front of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"crx-h\"\u003eSizing and quantity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake the 30 from the panel datasheet rather than the model name. Quantity follows the rail run and the fact that the cover closes both ends of the module block, so work from metres of insertion rail rather than the panel count, then round up to whole 2.85 m lengths.
