Which attachment system is right for your project? When it comes to design, having an aesthetically pleasing #facade is just as important as functionality. Should you use a visible, concealed, or XKELEX Z19 attachment system? VISIBLE ATTACHMENT Durable and easy to install, the visible attachment is a popular choice for many projects. Attachment mechanisms can seamlessly blend into the existing design, and fasteners can be the same color as the panels. CONCEALED ATTACHMENT The smooth aesthetic of the concealed attachment offers limitless potential for your creative designs. Not only are there no visible fasteners — but this product is incredibly durable, can be used throughout the year, and its high quality is backed with KOMO certification. XKELEX Z The functional design of the XKELEX Z19 attachment allows installers to eliminate a vertical gert and attach panels horizontally to a stud wall using a perforated substructure. Specifically designed to accommodate Fiber Cement Cladding, this is the number one system for installing narrow, vertically oriented panel layouts.
