Plate Panel™

Facade Cladding System

Plate Panel

Plate Panel systems provide designers with a customizable facade system that can utilize almost any finish. Various aesthetics are achievable with this system, as it allows for a combination of varying panel sizes, orientations, and edge conditions that all have similar fabrication and installation techniques.

About Plate Panel

The Plate Panel System offers a large-panel option that mitigates oil-canning and improves material-yield.

Our Plate Panel system is composed of metal panels in plate (typically .120”+) thicknesses with hardware welded to the backside that engages with Z-girt hardware. Adjustable Z-girts can allow for tolerance in the substrate, so the final installation is smooth and continuous. The joints can include backing hardware to close the joints or can be designed with open joints to allow airflow.

 Great for any vertical wall application, Zahner’s sales team can support your efforts. We’ll help your team choose the best material, finish, and panel size for your project’s design and budget.

Benefits of Plate Panel

  • Low Engineering Effort: Familiar Zahner detailing saving cost

  • Large Panels: Great option for large panels; fewer joints

  • Material Usage: Panel sizes can nest efficiently into raw material sheets

  • Installation Intolerance: Hardware allows for Z-axis tolerance for system flatness

  • Concealed Hardware: No visible fasteners; no visible backside weld transfer
