Flat Lap

The aesthetic appearance of shingle or shake with the benefits of metal, Flat Lap is an easy to install, cost-effective shingle solution available in all Zahner Surfaces.

About Flat Lap

Based on your selected material’s standard sheet dimensions, you can select an optimum-sized panel to be lapped over the building’s facade to give a shingled or tiled effect. Depending on the material selected, shadow and lap can play a role in adding depth and character to your facade.

Flat Lap requires little engineering, making lead times faster and more predictable. Because there are no folds or returns required, all Zahner Surfaces can be used in this system.

We can help your team choose the best material, finish, and panel size for your project’s design and budget.
