The Inspiration Behind Xkelex Rainscreen Subframing
Three experienced architects passionate about rainscreen systems were frustrated with the challenges rainscreen cladding substructure systems present. With added expertise from their fourth partner, formerly a senior sales manager for a Europe-based rainscreen cladding manufacturer, they designed and perfected their dream subframing – Xkelex. They use Xkelex in all their projects and encourage you to do so, too.

Xkelex’s easy-to-install horizontal and vertical rainscreen systems are available with exposed and concealed fastening designs. Incorporate exterior continuous insulation and thermal breaks to help reduce thermal transfer through the building envelope.

Horizontally mounted Xkelex rainscreen systems save time during installation and meet or exceed panel manufacturers’ requirements for airflow and drainage to dry the rainscreen cavity. Xkelex’s perforated horizontal mounting systems save architects, contractors, and building owners time and money. Xkelex subframing systems support exposed and concealed fasteners, up to 3 in. of continuous insulation, thermal brake pads and work with most panel materials.
Vertically mounted Xkelex rainscreen systems are a traditional rainscreen substructure style and meet or exceed panel manufacturers’ airflow and drainage requirements to dry the rainscreen cavity. Xkelex substructure systems support exposed and concealed fasteners, up to 3 in. of continuous insulation, thermal brake pads and work with most panel materials.
