Product Presentation

Multi-Purpose panels with the Wind-Lok™ application have a smooth, sleek appearance with a concealed clipless fastening system. These panels are typically used for siding, fascias, mansards and equipment screens.

Sizes and Profiles:

Four 8" wide panels, seven 12" wide panels and six 16" wide panels are available. The semi-standing seam (MPN code), the batten style (MPW code) and the plank or barn board (MPH code) give completely different appearances. A slight “V” in the MPH series gives another variation in style (MPV code). Panel lengths are cut to customer specifications.

Composition and Materials:

Panels are roll-formed from .032 or .040 Aluminum or 24 gauge Metallic Coated Steel. Twenty-two gauge steel is available in select colors only.

Color and Finish:

A choice of 30 colors is available in a Kynar 500® or Hylar 5000® based finish. (Request color chart or chips.) An anodized finish is available in clear or dark bronze.

Texture may be smooth or stucco embossed.

Specifications

Note to specifiers: Multi-Purpose Panel System serves the architectural needs of wall and mansard systems. For detailed product specifications in a 3-part standard format visit our web site at www.atas.com

Warranty

The Kynar 500® or Hylar 5000® based paint finish carries a thirty (30) year limited warranty against chipping, cracking, peeling, chalking and fading.

Availability and Cost

Multi-Purpose panels are readily available through ATAS product distributors.

Cost:
Contact ATAS product distributors for cost.

Installation

Installation is achieved by interlocking the panel into the preceding panel and fastening with mechanical fasteners. The rib of the adjoining panel will conceal the fasteners. Installation manuals or hands-on training through seminars are available. Contact ATAS technical service advisors for information.

Maintenance

Multi-Purpose panels are virtually maintenance free. The high quality finish will not fade, chalk, crack or peel, and since the substrate is metal, the panel will not warp, rot or break. Surface residue may be easily removed by conventional cleaning methods. Minor scratches may be touched up with a matching paint, available from the manufacturer.
