The
first three details are typical of the systems we use
for assembling ACM panels. The last four details show typical Trespa®
attachment systems.NOW-4200 System (Rain Screen)
This is our premium rainscreen system. A strip of composite conceals the sheathing and vapor barrier. This way the joint reveals the same material as the face sheet, or any other color you choose. Fasteners are concealed. The system has been tested to 15 PSF, per ASTM E 331-00. Please remember that all of our systems require 16-gauge studs. |
NOW-4100 System (Rain Screen)
This is our more economical rainscreen system. Joints are open to the sheathing and vapor barrier. Fasteners are largely concealed. The system has been tested to 15 PSF, per ASTM E 331-00. Please remember that all of our systems require 16-gauge studs |
NOW-3100 System (Dry System)
This is our high performance attachment method. Panel joints are kept weather tight by our aluminum attachment extrusions and rubber gaskets, which are fastened to a 1" return leg. The benefit is obvious: since the panels are not caulked, the silicates do not run down the faces of the panel and require cleaning. We can paint the reveal extrusions any color, without exorbitant setup charges. Please remember that all of our systems require 16-gauge studs. |
NOW-1100 System (Wet System)
This is our more economical attachment method. Panel joints are kept weather tight by exposed Silicone Sealant, which is run between our 1" return legs. Please remember that all of our systems require 16-gauge studs. |
Why use MCM?
- Limitless custom design and easy field modification
- Excellent manufacturing tolerances combined with re-design potential
- Crisp, one-piece corners
- Color durability
- Excellent module flexibility
- Concealed fasteners
- Low panel weight reduces framing costs
- Short manufacturing and fabrication times
- Lower price
- Radiused Panels
- Aluminum skin never rusts
- No tendency to blister, bubble or delaminate
- Aluminum panels reduce the risk of paint failure in humidity and salt atmospheres.
TRESPA® METEON DETAILS
Concealed (TS210) Horizontal Panel Joint
The TS210 Concealed Fastener System requires both "J" channels and horizontal railings. Corner channels must also be used at vertical corners. The space between the panels and supporting structure needs to be a minimum of 2 1/4". The system compartmentalizes per elevation. |
Concealed (TS210) Vertical Panel Joint
 |
Exposed (TS110) Horizontal Panel Joint
The TS110 Exposed Fastener System is more economical. Vertical "J" extrusions mount finished material to the building envelope. The minimum space required between the supporting structure and the panel is 1". Vent screens terminate the installation at base and header conditions, while allowing the system to breath. The TS110 system is compartmentalized per panel. |
Exposed (TS110) Vertical Panel Joint

Why use Trespa® Meteon?
- Highly weather resistant
- Large Panel Size (up to 7' sheet widths)
- No mold due to continuous airflow between cladding and because of the use of non-microbial surface finishes
- Air Flow behind the system helps to prevent moisture penetration by maintaining equal air pressure behind cladding with the ambient outside air pressure. Air flow also helps regulate the temperature of the building.
- Can be router cut to form reveals to simulate small panels, by using less expensive large panels.
- The only panel material cured by using a patented electron beam technology (Electron Beam Curing)
- UV resistant (colorfast)
- Increases energy efficiency
- Adds decades to the life of a structure
- Impact, scratch and graffiti resistant
- Withstands extreme temperature fluctuations
- Over 300 unique colors and textures
