20mm Cavity
High Performance System
XpressClad PX20 is a top to bottom ventilated rainscreen cladding system with an express joint finish. It is both an aesthetically pleasing and functional cladding option for modern buildings.
XpressClad PX20 incorporates an anodised aluminium rail support system to achieve a 20mm cavity depth. A quick and easy install on standard NZS 3604 timber framing.
Cladding panels are attached to the support rails with the concealed adhesive fixing system, creating a clean and high aesthetic finish.
Select from prefinished panels offered in a large range of colours and surface textures only requiring low maintenance or a plain panel ready for the site applied finish of your choice.
The XpressClad PX20 system offers architects the freedom to design unique facades, achieved by experimenting with panel sizes, pattern layouts combined with the range of colour and finishes offered.
The XpressClad PX20 system is not only cost effective and durable, it can also be used anywhere in New Zealand including coastal locations and up to extreme wind pressures. Making it suitable for both residential, light commercial and especially Education buildings.
