Rout and Return Dry System

Rout and Return Dry

The flagship of quality engineering and design, the DRY system is a high performance panel system. Similar to unitized curtain wall design, the system is designed utilizing continuous double-gasketed interlocking perimeter extrusions with interior chambers used to control water infiltration. This design provides a “dry” wall cavity condition without the reliance of an air and water barrier. Any water that enters the system’s joinery is controlled and weeped back to the exterior. Tested to AAMA 501 standards, the DRY system has proven its performance time and time again.

Pressure Equalized Rainscreen System 2

Pressure Equalized Rainscreen

Designed using the rainscreen principle utilizing pressure equalization, the Pressure Equalized Rainscreen System (PER) incorporates concealed venting, allowing for rapid pressure equalization while preventing water infiltration. Tested to the AAMA 508 standards, the PER system provides a solid engineered option to the rainscreen question. Using the idea that less layout is better, the system attaches directly to the substructure through the continuous perimeter framing members. Additionally, the perimeter framing allows for simplistic compartmentalization.

Rout and Return Wet Logo

Rout and Return Wet

When a wet joint (caulked) design is preferred, the WET system is the choice. Designed with continuous perimeter extrusions, the system allows for quick attachment to the substructure. No requirements for additional clip layout. The interlocking perimeter extrusions run along all sides of the panels, creating conditions for ideal panel-face registration alignment without expending additional field labor. As tested to AAMA 501 standards, the wet system provides a good barrier wall option to your design needs.

SwissPearl Concealed Logo

Swisspearl Concealed

The SPC system was designed to give the option of Swisspearl material with a concealed attachment design. We took the fundamentals of the Swisspearl exposed system and applied them with the twist of a concealed fastener attachment method. This produces a crisp, clean look with all the design characteristics of a Drained and Back Ventilated Rainscreen system. The Swisspearl’s fiber cement panel material is a high quality product designed for commercial applications. The absence of exposed fasteners produces an appearance enhancing its defining characteristics.
