Arcwall 2510
Applications
For use in exterior wall cladding when the A/E desires a solid metal, high performance, dry-joint exterior cladding system. A smooth cladding material comprised of Aluminum OR Stainless Steel for insulated and/or non-insulated cladding applications over continuous masonry or stud/sheathing substrates where a suitable air/water barrier can be applied. Flexible joint designs enable the designer to articulate almost any vertical and horizontal joint rhythm or pattern.
Features and Benefits
- All products are engineered and manufactured in-house. Fully tested to meet or exceed performance values mandated by ASTM E 283-04; 331-00; 330-02.
- The panel system employs concealed closed cell foam gaskets and extruded aluminum frames including internal horizontal gutter and vertical reveal flashing to fully express a 2" joint depth. Consult Sales for alternative design options.
- Standard 1/2" wide vertical and horizontal joints are open to minimize dirt and maximize the appearance. No exposed sealants to retain dirt and create streaking.
- With the interlocking horizontal joint, panels are secure yet free floating to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
- All panels are custom fabricated and not limited by minimum production runs in standard or custom colors.
- Superior impact resistance to composite material or foamed in place panels.
- Cee shaped vertical flanges provide exceptional cross sectional strength tested up to 100PSF wind loads with Aluminum facings and 50PSF with Stainless Steel facings.
Product Applications
- Any vertical exterior wall surface application with continuous air/water barrier.
- Articulations: Dry Set Wall Cladding Systems rely on gravity to drain water out of the wall cavity. All horizontal surfaces should be sealed which include copings, soffits, and sloped conditions. To minimize water penetration, all perimeter conditions to be flashed and sealed. Accents applied to face of panel that do not interrupt the air water barrier may not require sealant. Consult Sales for design options.
- Panel systems attach to various substrates including but not limited to studs & exterior sheathing; CMU Block walls and Concrete substrates.
- Solid metal panels are particularly useful where metal panels are used in pedestrian areas due to superior impact performance compared to other composite metal panel cladding products.
- For use on LEED projects- consult our staff for specific areas of contribution.
- Enclosures for exposed columns beam or pilaster features can also be clad using matching materials and joint treatments to provide similar aesthetics.
