TRS INTERLOCKING

The panels are simply connected by the use of an interlocking groove, giving the elegant appearance of a recessed joint. Interlocking Panels does not require plywood substrate, they are fixed onto supporting timber or metal framework using mechanical fixings, which are concealed in the joint.

The system belongs to the rain-screen sector (wall cladding installed with a pressure equalised, ventilated air space). It will require vapour barrier or waterproof membrane behind the supporting framework.
