Façade Cladding Installation Systems | Fairview Architectural

ENGINEERED TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AND CAPACITY WITHOUT INCREASING OVERHEADS

We are the only ACM/MCM manufacturer in North America to offer a complete facade package with a patented range of façade cladding installation systems. Our Arrowhead systems can be used with our Vitrabond, Vitrabond G2 and Vitraplate products and are also compatible with other manufacturers’ panels.

Our packages include versatile facade materials, fully tested labor saving installation and manufacturer’s in-house training programs.

In addition, our Arrowhead systems use a revolutionary t-clip that both fastens the panel to the wall and allows it to be easily removed without affecting the other panels around it. Our current range of systems includes the following:

Our façade cladding installation system is aesthetically similar to traditional rain screen systems but is designed to significantly reduce installation and labor costs. The system is design so that the base wall extrusions are shimmed and attached to the exterior wall first. The extrusions are then used to take the measurements for the panels. This allows for panels to be placed straight onto the extrusion and held in place by the T-clips.

Fairview Arrowhead Flex Rainscreen System by fairviewarch on Sketchfab

This system takes all the benefits of the more traditional Arrowhead FLEX system and combines these with an extremely simplified fabrication process. No rivets are used to hold the panels to the frame, instead a double grove and slot method is used to secure the frame extrusion. This increases production speed due to there being less steps.

Fairview Arrowhead Lean Rainscreen System by fairviewarch on Sketchfab

As with our LEAN and FLEX systems, the FLUSH is also a non-progressive system but features a unique aesthetic feature. This system provides a minimalistic look with shallow reveals and is easy to fabricate. This system offers a clean esthetic for a truly modern finish to your building facade.

Imagine being able to increase your capacity and productivity by 40% without increasing your overheads… how many more projects could you take on every year? How much quicker would you get paid by getting on, and off, the jobsite sooner?

How do the Arrowhead façade cladding installation systems save time and money?

There are many ways that Arrowhead benefits you in terms of time and money:

Arrowhead eliminates the need for multiple steps in shop drawings and re-verification
Reduce installation complexity and labor.
Shorten project lead times.
Begin fabrication of panels quickly after field measurements, rather than the additional shop drawing and re-verification required with traditional systems.
Reduce the risk of liquidated damages – facade cladding is normally one of the last scopes on the project, so having the ability to add as many crews as can fit on the job site means that even an already fast system can be sped up!

Colors & Finishes

In addition to our extensive range of colors and finishes, we also have industry-leading capabilities in the development of specialty and custom finishes such as woodgrains, natural metals and anodized.



Non-sequential

“Any panel in any sequence” eliminates getting stalled by other trades on the job site.



Quick lead times

Non-sequential systems also make it possible for measurements to be taken from the installed base extrusions and sent directly to the fabricator.



Replacing panels

Damaged panel? Simply remove and re-install without compromising the quality, fit, or integrity of the system.



Versatile

You can add some complexity to your façade design by varying the depth of the panels, while using the same simple mounting system and no job-specific tooling.
