IMETCO Evolution Complete Rainscreen Wall System

Wall System includes four basic components:

• A metal façade ranging from solid zinc panels that will last more than a century to some of the best aluminum products on the market. Panels are available in a wide variety of profiles, materials and colors to fit any design

  objective-with custom profiles also available.

  • A 1-inch air cavity that promotes air flow via the chimney effect to rapidly dry itself out. The cavity is created by perforated horizontal hat-shaped subgirts-requiring no vertical subgirts-with minimal fasteners, a design that results in negligible thermal bridging to a loss of less than 5 percent.
  • The continuous insulation is non-combustible, water resistant and vapor permeable, making it an ideal drainage plane. A high-density board designed specifically for this wall system, it features one of the most impressive materials in the building industry: stone wool, a naturally occurring by-product of volcanic activity first discovered in Hawaii.
  • A water-resistant vapor permeable air barrier that stops the flow of air while allowing controlled diffusion of water vapor, which is particularly important in regions where seasonal temperatures and humidity fluctuate.
