Horizontal Rainscreen Fastening Systems

Horizontal rainscreen substructure systems are designed to attach horizontally to the structural wall. Attaching the substructure horizontally makes installation easier and reduces labor costs. Xkelex horizontal systems use perforated Zee and Hat profiles to allow airflow and drainage in the rainscreen cavity. The profiles have a 40% perforation, which meets many cladding requirements. Systems offer a range of features, including exposed and concealed fasteners, continuous insulation, cladding leveling, thermal breaks, and more.
