Rainscreen Framing System Designed for Exposed-fastener Facades

Knight Wall Systems has launched its Reveal-Girt, an effective new rainscreen framing system designed for open joint, exposed-fastener facades.

The aesthetic advantage to using Reveal-Girt for open-joint façade systems is it creates the illusion of depth in the joint itself. Designed with two wide anchoring surfaces, Reveal-Girt can accommodate two adjoining panel edges on one rail, which delivers both savings and efficiencies in labor and materials. And the available black Fluorpon-finished Reveal-Girt nearly disappears behind the open joint.

Developed primarily for fiber cement panels, the Reveal-Girt is a perforated and pre-punched stiffened rail that can span up to 36 inches on center and be installed vertically over other horizontal rails or directly over rigid foam insulation. Reveal-Girt comes standard in Galvalume coated steel, and is also available in stainless steel.

Knight roll-forms Reveal-Girt in-house to standard and custom lengths. As with all Knight façade systems, Reveal-Girt is a full featured, “drop-in solution” rain screen. All Knight attachment systems are supplied with stainless steel wall anchors, engineered calculated drawings and Knight’s premiere limited warranty.
