| Flat lock panel |
|
The flat lock system belongs to the rain-screen family (wall cladding installed with a ventilated air space). The system involves laying the panels on a compatible wooden framework fixed to the supporting structure (masonry or metal structure).
 |
It consists of a wall system of factory-formed panels. The rectangular-shaped panels interlock into each other on the four sides and are secured with concealed fasteners and clips. Flat lock panels offer a simple yet elegant cladding solution that provides a longitudinal flat seam. |
