    Performance & Engineering

    SurFlex™ is a dry joint system designed, engineered, and manufactured by Sobotec. Modular panels create a pressured equalized rainscreen system that does not require clips or extrusions. SurFlex™ eliminates exposed rivets and fasteners at the panel perimeter, providing a crisp, clean appearance. SurFlex™ has been proven and tested to the following specified performance requirements:

    • ASTM E1233:  Cyclic Static Air Pressure
    • ASTM E330:   Structural Performance
    • ASTM E28:   Air Infiltration
    • ASTM E331:   Water Penetration
    • AAMA 508:    Pressure-Equalized Rainscreen System

    Sobotec’s SurFlex™ panel system is adaptable to different project conditions. Our system design allows for modifications without sacrificing performance. The system integrates with flashings, closures, and trims manufactured by Sobotec. Selecting a single source provider like Sobotec allows for efficient integration of these key building elements creating a rainscreen system that meets the highest design and performance requirements.



    Sustainability

    All SurFlex™ panel systems are made in North America, using recycled material. Applicable for LEED credits, SurFlex™ provides a high degree of sustainability as the panel system can be reused or recycled at the end of the product's lifecycle. Manufactured using a lean process, SurFlex™ can assist projects to achieve zero-waste when the designs are optimized.  This allows projects to reduce their overall environmental impact and carbon footprint. Contact us today to learn more.

    What Our Customers Are Saying

    Image

    John Cerone, SHoP Architects

    "Alucobond has been the premium composite material out there since day one. It can really take your building and make it alive. One of the reasons we picked Alucobond is, it's a highly engineered product, that has longevity, it's durable and obviously, the aesthetic was the most important. We loved the finish of the Natural Brushed aluminum. The consistency of the finish is going to sustain weather and time. You really couldn't achieve a facade like this with another product.”
