Installation

Utilizing standard installation details, AP-2000RS series panels are sequentially installed to the structure with mechanical fasteners as a rainscreen system. Panel system utilizes a back drainage channel of like material. We recommend use of hat girts and self-tapping screws; however, our panels can be fastened to flat strap furring or direct to 5/8” or heavier plywood. Panel system must be backed by and requires proper Air/Water barrier to be designed and installed as with any rainscreen panel system.
