BASIC USES & APPLICATIONS:
As a high end fabricated system, Envelope 2000® is designed for use as an exterior cladding on walls, canopies, fascia, and accent bands. Envelope 2000® is typically used on medium to high rise buildings, such as office towers, retail complexes, educational buildings, medical facilities, etc...

FEATURES & BENEFITS:
As a complete exterior cladding system, Envelope 2000® offers a number of benefits to the building owner, architect, and installer including:

• High-Tech Appearance Smooth aluminum skins and clean lines make Envelope 2000® an
excellent choice for high profile projects where a progressive aesthetic detail is desired.
• Versatile Installation With three different attachment options, virtually any look can
be created using different shadow line sizes and treatments at the panel joints.
• Curveable Along with various shadow lines, Envelope 2000® can also add interest to your project with long sweeping curves or tight, crisp column covers.
• Thermal Stability Unlike other cladding solutions, Envelope 2000® systems remain rigid and stable even during seasonal heating and cooling thermal cycles.
• Durable An innovative thermoset phenolic resin core provides these panels with superior impact and dent resistance.
• Low Maintenance Most foreign matter can be cleaned from surface with mild detergents; can be incorporated into yearly building washing schedule.

GENERAL LIMITATIONS:
Envelope 2000® is intended for use as an exterior cladding. It is not eligible for use as a structural
element of a wall assembly. Envelope 2000® should not be used in applications where the slope
exceeds 25° from vertical.

SYSTEM FINISHES:
Envelope 2000® comes standard with a smooth aluminum skin. Standard and metallic colors are furnished with a durable Kynar 500® coating. Anodized finishes are available as a standard finish. Custom colors are also available to match customer’s standard. Moldings (Reveal System) are
coated using a Kynar 500® paint system and can be painted to match any standard or custom color.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

REVEAL SYSTEM (RV):
Utilizing one piece extruded aluminum moldings, this is a barrier system that features a progressive
installation. The moldings are mechanically fastened to the substrate. The panels are then
inserted into the moldings, along with sealant and attached to the substrate using construction adhesive at intermediate locations. Reveal (1/2” typical, 3” also available) and batten
profile moldings are standard.

ROUT & RETURN SYSTEM (RR):
Barrier system in which panels are fabricated and formed into ‘pans’ and then ‘hung’ on the substrate using aluminum extrusions. All fasteners are concealed and panel joints (1/2”
reveal typical) are finished with an approved sealant.

RAINSCREEN SYSTEM (RS):
Based on the ‘rainscreen principle’, this system allows incidental water to enter the cladding cavity, but then be drained through the system via weepholes. Also utilizing formed panels, this system is attached using aluminum extrusions. Panel joints are finished using color matched or complementary accent strips that‘float’ in the extrusions providing a reveal from 1/2” to 12”.
