Spectrum Exposed Fastening Systems

Spectrum Exposed Fastening systems are the most common attachment systems for phenolic panels in North America. These systems allow maximum design freedom for projects where budgets are constrained. Rivets or color matched stainless steel screws are used to secure individual panels up to 6” x 12” in size. This system also allows for the use of non-traditional shapes including curves and complex geometrical components.
