NFPA 285 Tested ACM
Dry-Joint Rainscreen System
Advanced ACM dry-joint rainscreen with snap-fit stainless steel clips. One platform delivers three finished configurations to match your project's aesthetic, structural needs, and budget.
Engineered to support code-compliant assemblies across North America.
Testing and compliance apply to complete wall assembly configurations; approval depends on full assembly design and jurisdictional authority.
One System. Three Configurations.
Choose Your Finish
The Turtle Rib platform can be constructed in three finished product modes to precisely match your project's aesthetic criteria, structural needs, and budget requirements.
Exposed Profile
Features clean, visible fasteners arranged around the panel perimeter. Engineered to maximize installation speed and field efficiency.
Hybrid Profile
Strikes a perfect balance between installation economy and high-end design. Exposed fasteners at top edge only with engineered double-fold layout on bottom and sides.
Concealed Profile
Engineered for clean, ultra-modern facades requiring a pristine aesthetic. Full architectural double-fold perimeter with no visible fasteners.

NFPA 285-23 and AAMA 508-21 third-party testing on complete wall assemblies. Engineered to support code-compliant designs across North America.
Clean Fabrication
No gaskets, caulking, or drill shavings on site. Ensures scratch-free finished panel surfaces with zero material waste and no on-site contamination.
Thermal Performance
Available thermal clip substructure with 2" to 6" depth options. Contributes extremely high R-value / low U-value for energy-efficient envelopes.
Pressure Equalization
Continuous internal pressure equalization venting alongside perimeter weep drainage holes. Engineered dry-joint design eliminates moisture traps.
