Vertical or horizontal: one board, two looks
The boards run whichever way the design calls for, and the look changes with them. Run horizontally, the lines make the wall look wider. It's the classic facade layout and the most common one on homes and hotels. Run vertically, the facade looks taller and more contemporary, and you'll see it most on storefronts and entrances.
Fastening is the same either way. A hidden clip holds each board at the overlap, so not a single screw shows on the finished surface.
Every measurement on this page comes from the panel's data sheet, signed off by our in-house quality lab.
Built for the weather, no repainting
A facade takes sun, rain and temperature swings all year, and that's where the Max Shield cap comes in. It's a 0.02 in (0.5 mm) layer co-extruded with the board, not painted or glued on later. It protects the color from the sun and keeps out moisture and stains. The cap is made with raw material imported from the United States, and we control color from batch to batch, so the boards you reorder match the ones already on the wall.
The payoff is less upkeep. A facade you install today won't need repainting, staining or sealing down the road. Mild soap and water are all the maintenance it needs. We make it ourselves at our plant in Santa Catarina, in the Monterrey metro area of Mexico, and deliver it by truck anywhere in Texas.
Grooved Panel or Wall Cladding: when to use each
Both cover the same surfaces — walls, facades, soffits and patio ceilings — so the choice comes down to the look you want, not where they go. If you want the surface to stand out, use the Grooved Panel. Its grooves add relief, and the shadows shift with the sun. If you'd rather it blend in, use Wall Cladding, which gives a smooth, even surface with no visible lines.
They share the same 12-color palette and the same hidden clip, so you can use both on one job without the switch standing out. Try Grooved Panel on the wall and smooth Wall Cladding on the ceiling above it.
