RHEINZINK® - Horizontal Reveal Panel

Available in all three standard RHEINZINK® finishes.
Can be oriented either horizontally or vertically.
Easy to fabricate and install.
Face heights from 6” to 13”.
Indirect, concealed fixing.
For optimum flatness:
- Use 1.2 mm thick RHEINZINK® for face heights 11” and up.
- Use 1.0 mm thick RHEINZINK® for face heights 8” to 11”.
- Use 0.8 mm thick RHEINZINK® for face heights 6” to 8”.
For cost effectiveness and ease of fabrication and installation, limit panel lengths to 10’-0”. Consult the RHEINZINK® technical department for applications requir-ing longer lengths.
Drained and back ventilated rainscreen system with interlocking tongue and groove joints. No sealants or gaskets required.
Refer to the RHEINZINK baseline details for corner, parapet, and penetration options. Consult the RHEINZINK® technical department for customized applications.
Panels can be roll formed or fabri-cated using brake forming or fold-ing machines.
Ventilation mats and factory applied backside coatings not required for RHEINZINK® reveal panels.

Horizontal Reveal Panels		RHEINZINK® - Horizontal Reveal Panel Reveals create strong shadow lines accentuating the horizontality of the facade. Panel height can be dimensioned to correspond to the scale of masonry, stone, lap siding and other system dimensions. In order to protect the surface during production and transportation and, to provide protection during construction, the facade systems are covered with a strippable film. The strippable film is a one-sided self-adhesive protective sheet, which is applied in the factory and should be removed immediately following installation, at the end of each working day. Panel width / Material Thickness 0.8 mm (22 gauge) for 6”-8” (152-203mm) 1.0 mm (20 gauge) for 8”-10” (203 - 254mm 1.2 mm (18 gauge) for 10”-12” (254 - 305mm) It is recommended that the ends of the panel be provided with additional folded back tabs to prevent water incursion and to prevent viewing behind the profile. An alternate recommended detail is to frame the exposed panel end into a J-trim or other profiled flashing trim piece to achieve the same purpose. Panel Length Standard length is 10' (3m) Maximum length is 20' (6m) Panel lengths over 13’ (4m) must be allowed to expand and contract with temperature change with the use of slotted holes for fasteners or special sliding clips available from RHEINZINK. It should noted that long panels can be difficult to handle and are more easily damaged during installation. Splice plates between panels allows for the linear expansion that occurs due to temperature changes. This gives a seamless appearance. Vertical joints, if desired, can be designed in a number of ways, e.g. by rear-installed channels, sheets or pilaster strip profiles. Fastening Concealed fastening with stainless steel fasteners The reveal panel is fastened to galvanized hat channels or Z-girts with stainless steel fasteners of a size and frequency adequate to resist wind loads. The fasteners are screwed through the bottom flange of the profiled panel. The top flange of the subsequent panel slides up and into the return of the upper panel’s bottom flange. This, then, conceals the fastener heads of the upper panel and provides joint closure. Fasteners Fasteners are designed to allow for movement of the panels. Self-tapping stainless steel screws are recommended Self-tapping screws are particularly suitable for fixing the installation profile to the metal substructure. Installation is done in one operation, using an appropriate setting tool. No pre-drilling is required. The screws are selected based on various criteria: Static requirements/function Place of use Material thickness of work pieces/components to be connected. Non-corrosive materials should be used in the façade area. Ensure that the fasteners are approved by Site Supervisors.
