AL13™ – ARCHITECTURAL PANEL
AL13™ has changed the game with its metal panel system offering an option that is less expensive and installs faster than comparable panel systems on the market. The system does not require prefabrication making installation simple and allowing the configuration to be tailored on site. No more waiting for prefabricated panel.
The AL13 system differs from other ACM systems in being a tab-over system. Panels are not welded or formed during construction. Panels are cut to fit and snap together on site, saving time and money. This allows for each panel to expand and contract across a broad temperature spectrum without causing buckling or oil canning.The tab-over design is unique to AL13, consisting of five different Aluminum extruded profiles. The panel spacers and extrusions work together to create a pressure equalized rain screen system, allowing any moisture to exit.
AL13 comes in a variety of colors and finishes including metallics, pearls, solids and wood-grain finishes. RAL custom color matching is also available by special order to meet specific requirements.

SOFFIT, FASCIA & EAVESTROUGH
The soffit is the name given to the underside of roof overhang, extending from the side of the structure to the edges of the eaves.Fascia is the long, horizontal board that runs along the lower edge of the roof and typically behind the eavestrough.This is usally made of dimensional lumber and wrapped in aluminum to. This adds an aesthetically pleasing dimension to the eavestrough system, and at the same time, protects the wood fascia from rotting.
You may not realize it, but soffit and fascia do more than just help tie the whole look of your home exterior together. They play an important role in the structural integrity of your home. Properly installed soffit provides essential ventilation and air circulation to reduce excess moisture that can cause rotting and decay of the roof’s structure. It promotes directional air movement through the eaves and rafters of your home, helping it to stay in great shape both inside and out. Eavestrough (Gutters& downspouts) are crtitical to the water management of your home. Designed to keep protect a building’s foundation by channeling water away from its base and your entrance ways preventing leaks into basements and crawlspaces


BUILDING ENVELOPE
Wrapping a home or buiding in a weather-resistant barrier is not just good sense, it’s good building practice because it helps combat water, moisture and air infiltration that are any structure’s worst enemies. Allowed to penetrate behind siding, wind-driven rain and moisture can saturate walls, creating a breeding ground for mold, mildew and wood rot.
The properties of DuPont™Tyvek® do not support the growth of mould or mildew. Air infiltration from outside can create comfort-robbing cold or warm spots while increasing heating and cooling costs. Whether it is DuPont™Tyvek® or two layers of Hal-Tex 30 Minute asphalt building paper, when wrapped over the sheathing and under the exterior siding they act like a windbreaker to prevent air infiltration and water intrusion to make for a more comfortable, energy-efficient home or building.
For Commercial and Multi-family applications some of the products we use are supplied by manufacturers such as Henry Building Envelope Systems® and Soprema® .
