Aluminum Plate Wet Seal Panel System
Sure-Panel Plate Wet Seal is a solid aluminum plate panel that is back-routed, formed and attached with mechanically fastened clips to the building substructure. Panel joints are sealed with silicone-based caulk for water and weather protection at the face. You get the impact resistance of solid plate with a closed, sealed joint line.
When to choose plate wet seal
The wall is designed as a barrier (face-sealed) assembly.
You want a flush sealant joint rather than an open reveal.
The area takes abuse: entries, soffits, loading docks, ground-floor walls, where solid plate holds up better than composite.
How it's built
Back-routed and formed plate. Aluminum plate is routed on the back and formed into a panel with returns.
Mechanically fastened clips attach the panel to the substructure.
Sealed joints. Joints are sealed with a silicone-based caulk.
Engineered layout. We prepare shop drawings, fabricate to them, label and crate.
