About the Flat Lap System
Great for vertical wall applications, Zahner Flat Lap allows you to use any Zahner Surface in a simple, attractive, and customizable layout.
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.
Benefits
| Material Finish Options | Can be used with any Zahner Surface |
| Design Flexibility | Option for multiple panel sizes if needed |
