System Features
The T3 System is a fully engineered dry-joint rainscreen solution designed for superior weather resistance, energy efficiency, and durability. Its pressure-equalized rainscreen technology prevents moisture infiltration while allowing ventilation, eliminating the need for exposed sealants or caulking. The system accommodates thermal expansion, preventing warping and structural stress, and integrates seamlessly with parapets, base connections, windows, and column wraps.
Material
Crafted from high-performance 4mm thick precision-engineered aluminum composite material (ACM), the T3 panels ensure strength and longevity. Available in a variety of finishes—including prismatic, metallic, wood grain, and stone textures—the panels are both fire-resistant and compliant with ASTM and AAMA testing standards, optimized for structural longevity and environmental resilience.

Comparison with Site-Fabricated Panel Systems
The T3 Engineered ACM Panel System offers several advantages over traditional site-fabricated panels:
| Feature | T3 Engineered ACM Panel System | Site-Fabricated Panel System |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensional Precision | CNC-cut for accuracy | Construction-grade cutting, prone to errors |
| Installation | Pre-cut panels reduce labor & weather delays | Requires extensive on-site fitting |
| Design Flexibility | Accommodates curved & 3D panels | Limited to straight-line panels |
| Finishes | Prismatic, exotic metals, wood grain, stone textures | Basic solid, mica, or metallic finishes |
| Aesthetics | Sleek, crisp lines for a modern facade | Bulkier corners & visible joints |
| Thermal Performance | Free-moving panels prevent warping & buckling | Mechanical attachments prone to thermal stress |
