Fairfield Metal LLC
Fairfield Metal’s ECONECT-RS concealed fastener rainscreen panel system channels rainwater down through weep holes, located on the bottom horizontal edge of each panel. Screws that attach panels to mounting brackets come from the underside, which allow panels to be released, shifted and reattached using a new screw location without having to cut a new piece of metal composite material (MCM). The panel system is installed onto waterproofed wall surfaces; Fairfield Metal recommends using a waterproofing membrane adhered to fiber cement backing board. An array of shims can be used to correct for wall variations and ensure panel system flatness. The rainscreen panel system is compatible with all 4-mm MCMs.
