Rainscreen Cladding System CUPACLAD 101 PARALLEL 

Perforated Panels
Characteristics Applications
CUPACLAD 101 PARALLEL rainscreen cladding system is made up of 40x25 cm slates installed horizontally, aligned and with
High rises, storefronts, offices, apartments, shopping centers or public buildings
concealed screws. All CUPACLAD 101 systems share the same invisible fasteners, especially conceived by our team of
engineers. Two self-drilling, stainless steel screws, with large diameter flat heads, guarantee easy installation and a perfect end Characteristics
result.
Slate Size 40x25 cm (16” x 10”)
Fire-resistant: A1 and A2s1d0, tailor-made, low maintenance (low porosity), weight: 2.5 t/m3. Ductal®’s
self-consolidating behavior and fine-grained texture results in a surface finish that replicates mold
Nominal Thickness 7,5 mm - 1/4” - 3/8” materials with the greatest precision
Number of Slates/m2 14,3
Perforated Panels are made with authentic Ductal UHPC, meaning that every dimension can be achieved,
Weight/m2 (slate) ≤30 kg/m² - ≤ 6,14 lb/ft2 from small to large ones, on-demand. Every texture and color can be imagined. Perforated Panels can be
used with well-known fastening systems, and have the best response in fire resistance and durability
among all mineral facade materials.
