Envelope 2000

Envelope 2000 is a composite panel for exterior use made by laminating an aluminum skin to a substrate of thermoset phenolic resin. A second aluminum skin is added as a backer and provides thermal stability and panel balance. This system is designed for use as exterior cladding on walls, canopies, fascias, and accent bands. However, Envelope 2000 is also ideal for other applications where a high end look is desired. Similar to Panel 20, Envelope 2000 is impact resistant, water resistant, and provides ultimate smoothness in a wide variety of finishes. However, a thicker core and fully fabricated attachment systems takes this panel to the next level in exterior cladding. The Rout & Return System (RR) is a barrier system in which panels are fabricated and formed into 'pans' and then mounted onto the substrate using aluminum extrusions. All fasteners are concealed and panel joints (1/2" reveal typical) are finished with an approved sealant. The RainScreen System (RS) is based upon the 'rainscreen principle' and allows incidental water to enter the cladding cavity, but then be drained through the system via weepholes. Also utilizing formed panels, this system is mounted using aluminum extrusions. Panel joints are finished using color matched or complementary accent strips that 'float' within the extrusions allowing a reveal from 1/2" to 12". The Reveal System (RV) utilizes one piece extruded aluminum moldings. This barrier system features a progressive installation. The moldings are mechanically fastened to the substrate and then the panels are inserted into the moldings, along with sealant. The panel is adhered to the substrate at the intermediates with construction adhesive. Reveal (1/2" typical, 3" also available) and batten profile moldings are standard.
