The drained and back-ventilated Clip & Caulk installation system provides the traditional look of a shop-fabricated wet seal system without the added hassle and cost of panel fabrication. The drained and back-ventilated sub-framing provides enhanced system performance through improved moisture management and increased ventilation.
When combined with Omega CI (optional component), the installation system offers an effective solution for veneer installations over continuous insulation while balancing thermal performance, water management, and fire resistance code requirements.
The Clip & Caulk installation system has been successfully tested to the NFPA 285 standard for multi-story fire testing for installations over Omega CI and exterior-grade, glass-mat faced gypsum sheathing.
This economical and easy method is the choice of architects and installers who are looking for a very flat look without visible fasteners. Panels can be cut on-site with few peripheral accessories needed for installation.
Color-matched caulk gives a beautiful monochromatic look; contrasting caulk can be used with eye-pleasing results. Clip & Caulk looks great in combination with masonry, glass, 1-piece extruded molding systems or by itself in a stand-alone application.
