ATAS International has added another profile to its concealed fastener wall panel offering. The Design Wall Reveal is a modular wall panel series designed as a drained and back ventilated (D/BV) assembly. This puts an air gap and drainage plane between the panel system and structural wall, allowing wind-driven rain or moisture to escape the building envelope without entering the building. D/BV systems are also designed to remove moisture that penetrates it through vapor drive from within the building or from the outside environment.
The panels are offered in various widths, depths and lengths to create a unique appearance. They may be installed horizontally or vertically without the need for any sealants, gaskets or splines to create the dry joint. Panels are installed from the top of the wall down, and from left to right. Design Wall Reveal is a great light-gauge alternative to other heavier plate and Metal Composite Material (MCM) panels. This new modular panel can be perforated, for use as equipment screens, sunshades, or for other building aesthetics.
This profile is a new twist on an existing product, creating a contemporary look. It is available in .032, .040, and .050 aluminum, with panel coverages of 8, 10 or 12 inches. Custom widths are available in 1-inch increments, and a high-pressure clip is optional. The panel has a 1-inch reveal, which is a wider reveal than some of the other ATAS panels. It is available in two panel depths: 1 3/4-inch overall, with a 1 1/4-inch reveal depth (DSR) and 1 1/8-inch overall, with a 1/2-inch reveal depth (DWR), and in lengths from 3 feet up to 15 feet.
The panel comes with a smooth surface or can be stucco or wood-grain embossed (wood grain embossing in the DWR only). Design Wall Reveal is available in over 40 stock colors in a high-performance paint finish, and in clear satin or dark bronze anodized aluminum. Woodland Series and Oxide Series high performance prints coats are other options. A complete line of trims are available in matching colors, gauge, and finish, or as specified. Mixing of various panel depths, widths, lengths, colors, and surface textures gives a designer a vast range of choices to create their vision for the building.
