Rainscreen Attachment Systems

Fairview Architectural North America is a leading metal façade cladding manufacturer of high quality and innovative panel systems. Fairview Architectural has the largest selection of colors and finishes available for the construction industry and are the only metal façade cladding manufacturer to offer a complete façade package to customers thanks to their purpose-built and patented Arrowhead® Installation Systems.

Arrowhead® cladding attachment system uses a revolutionary t-clip that both fastens the panel to the wall and allows it to be easily removed without affecting the other panels around it.

• ARROWHEAD FLEX® significantly reduces installation and labor costs. The system is design so that the base wall extrusions are shimmed and attached to the exterior wall first. The extrusions are then used to take the measurements for the panels. This allows for panels to be placed straight onto the extrusion and held in place by the T-clips.


• ARROWHEAD LEAN® combines an extremely simplified fabrication process. No rivets are used to hold the panels to the frame, instead a double grove and slot method is used to secure the frame extrusion. This increases production speed due to there being less steps.


• ARROWHEAD FLUSH® features a unique aesthetic feature for a truly modern finish to your building façade. This system provides a minimalistic look with shallow reveals and is easy to fabricate.

Bostik PanelTack™ Wall Panel and Façade Cladding System is an innovative cladding attachment adhesive solution designed for secure and long-lasting invisible fixation of rainscreen panels. The adhesive system prevents the panels from sagging under their weight and absorbs cyclical expansion and contraction due to environmental changes, such as wind, temperature, and humidity.

Blind attachment system with no unsightly screws which eventually lead to dirty stripes.

Quick and easy fastening method with no electricity needed on site and no dust and noise caused by drilling and screwing.

No weakening of the panels due to drilling and thinner wall panels can be used.

Elastic adhesive is more resistant to vibrations with no cold bridges and favorable stress distribution.

Able to absorb wind loads and ensure a lasting bond under extreme conditions.

Omnis aluminum rainscreen framing components accommodate all rainscreen façades, including unique formats such as running bond patterns, closed joint scenarios, and end terminations.

Omnis sub-framing is made of .090 6063 T6 aluminum and sub-framing installs faster and more efficiently than galvanized steel sub-framing. Aluminum is straighter, lighter, and deflects less.

Omnis profiles do not need to be coated after cutting or drilling and no specialized training is required.

Omnis profiles work with exposed, concealed, and adhesive fastening systems.

Omnis sub-framing comes in 10-foot lengths standard as well as custom lengths and 100% of Omnis aluminum cut-offs can be recycled.

solutions for unique construction scenarios: outside corners, end-of-wall terminations, exposed fastener running bond patterns, and closed rainscreen joint scenarios.
