Interlocking Panel
Metalbenz fabricates a panel with a tongue and groove pattern, known as an ‘interlocking panel’. The right groove of the panel is secured to the wall or support with screws or expansion clips (for longer lengths) and the left tongue of the next panel slides into the groove of the first panel, concealing the fixing and providing a seamless façade.
- Interlocking panels can be used for a full waterproof screen or curtain wall system
- Precise and uniform sizing with 0.5mm tolerances can be achieved with the use of high quality roll-forming machines
- Custom made to suit individual measurements on each project
- Light weight
- Architectural, modern and suitable for large applications on walls, soffits, ceilings, gates and garage doors
