Panel System | The dry joint plate panel system, sometimes referred to as a rain screen system, has concealed fasteners. It is the most expensive of our wall panel systems, but also the most durable. Dry joint plate panel systems can be used for interior or exterior applications, but their durability makes them ideal for exteriors. Applications include, but are not limited to, facades, soffits, canopies, roofs, screen walls, column covers, and interior walls. Additionally, panels may be micro-perforated and have backing added to transform them into acoustic panels.
