| Interlocking panel |
|
The system belongs to the rain-screen family (wall cladding installed with a ventilated air space).
 |
This self-supporting system can easily be installed on a non-continuous framework for both new and refurbishment projects. It involves installing interlocking VM ZINC® panels on a metal framework fixed to the supporting structure (masonry or metal structure). The panels are simply connected by the use of an interlocking groove giving the elegant appearance of a recessed joint.
They are fixed onto the framework using the clips provided, which are concealed in the inside edge of the groove. |
