Flat Seam panel systems developed by Zahner provide designers with a customizable facade system that can be formed to almost any surface geometry. Various aesthetics are achievable with this system, as it allows for a combination of varying panel sizes, shapes, and joint layouts that all have similar fabrication and installation techniques.
Standard Flat Seam systems are composed of the interlocking panels themselves and stainless steel clips that secure the system back to the substrate. These overlocking hems allow some tolerance in the system layout, so any field modifications that are needed are more flexible and efficient.
Zahner’s extended variations, including standard, offset, and extended lap, allow for application on not only planar geometry, but also curved and dual-curved geometry. These various connection details and fabrication options can be used to provide a flatter surface and/or more waterproofing.
Cost Efficient | System utilizes thinner metal for cost efficiency |
Low Waste | Fabrication process minimizes material waste |
Forms to Geometry | Panels form to geometry during installation rather than pre-rolling |
Fully Customizable | Panel sizes, shapes, and connection joints are fully customizable |
Efficient Install Tolerances | System allows for tolerance so installation is flexible and efficient |
