Prefinished Exterior Wall Panels - Panel 15

PANEL & SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT NAME:
Panel 15®
Prefinished Architectural Panels

OVERVIEW:
Panel 15® is a composite panel for exterior use made by laminating a textured aluminum skin to a substrate of exterior grade douglas fir plywood. A fiberglass reinforced kraft/foil scrim backer is added for panel balance and acts as a moisture barrier. Panels are furnished with a strippable film (or interleafed microfoam) on the painted surfaces to protect the finish during shipment and installation. The panel is mechanically fastened to the substrate (or wood/metal studs) and the system is completed using trim moldings (one and two piece aluminum extruded moldings) with various profile options.

BASIC USES & APPLICATIONS:
As an alternative or complement to other building materials such as stucco or brick, Panel 15® is designed for applications such as claddings, soffits, fascias, canopies, and accent bands.

Ideal for new or retrofit construction, Panel 15® is typically used on low and medium rise buildings such as schools, banks, office parks, medical facilities, etc... However, with a durable plywood core and textured skin, Panel 15® is also ideal for many other applications where durability, strength, and overall cost are primary concerns.

GENERAL LIMITATIONS:
Panel 15® is intended for use as a wall panel. It may be used in other applications where the slope does not exceed 25° from vertical (i.e. mansard roofs). Other limitations to the installation of Panel 15® depend upon the attachment system chosen and specific conditions of each individual application.

SYSTEM FINISHES:
Panel 15® comes standard with a textured aluminum skin. Smooth aluminum skins are not offered due to the nature of the plywood core and the probability of grain read-through. Standard colors are furnished with a coil coated polyester. Panels can be ordered in premium colors with an acrylic urethane coating. Custom colors are also available to match customer’s standard.

Moldings are coated using a polyester or acrylic urethane paint system and can be painted to match any standard or custom color.
