NV3 is the NVELOPE system for concealed fastening/mechanically attached applications
NV3 elements—fiber cement, high-pressure laminate (HPL), ceramic, thin stone etc. Horizontal NVELOPE channel profiles are attached to the vertical profiles. Rainscreen panels are hung from and secured with hangers.
Features
- NV3 is the NVELOPE system for concealed fastening/mechanically attached applications—vertical cladding applications.
