Rainscreen Attachment Systems

Fairview Architectural North America is a leading metal façade cladding manufacturer of high quality and innovative panel systems. Fairview Architectural has the largest selection of colors and finishes available for the construction industry and are the only metal façade cladding manufacturer to offer a complete façade package to customers thanks to their purpose-built and patented Arrowhead® Installation Systems.

Arrowhead® cladding attachment system uses 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.

• ARROWHEAD FLEX® significantly reduces 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.


• ARROWHEAD LEAN® combines 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.


• ARROWHEAD FLUSH® features a unique aesthetic feature for a truly modern finish to your building façade. This system provides a minimalistic look with shallow reveals and is easy to fabricate.

MOTO rain screen framing system was designed by architects and installers that were intent on creating a quality, finely detailed framing system that would compliment the high standards set in their architecture and construction. The patented MOTO system is designed to accommodate all rain screen facades. The MOTO system is designed for interior or exterior applications and will accept many cladding options including panel systems, wood, metal, and fiber cement siding. MOTO has been designed to make installation easier and faster to replace an inferior, more commonly used galvanized framing system.

• Complete rain screen attachment system including:blades, screws, shims, horizontal L flashing and bug-screen.
• Installs up to 50% faster than galvanized hat channels dramatically cutting project costs.
• MOTO comes in 20 feet lengths where galvanized generally comes in 10 feet lengths.
• MOTO profiles do not need to be sealed after cutting or drilling.
• Aluminum has a 40 year life expectancy, is 100% recycleable, and can contribute to LEED credits.
