Flat Seam systems by Zahner offer a uniquely flexible metal facade system, compatible with many common metals and finishes, including most Zahner Surfaces.
Flat Seam panel systems developed by Zahner provide designers with a customizable facade system that can be formed to almost any surface geometry. Various aesthetics are achievable with this system, as it allows for a combination of varying panel sizes, shapes, and joint layouts that all have similar fabrication and installation techniques.
Standard Flat Seam systems are composed of the interlocking panels themselves and stainless steel clips that secure the system back to the substrate. These overlocking hems allow some tolerance in the system layout, so any field modifications that are needed are more flexible and efficient.

These various connection details and fabrication options can be used to provide a flatter surface and/or more waterproofing.
Other benefits of using Flat Seam include:

Metal and glass fin facade systems made by Zahner utilize a variety of metal technologies. Selecting a fin-based facade design for your project can lower costs, enhance a building's visual appeal, and provide natural airflow for open air facade systems for decks, canopies, and parking structures.
Drop & Lock systems developed by Zahner use Inverted Seam technology to enable fast and sealant-free installation of metal panels and other hardware for architectural systems.
Zahner's unique history of metal embossing for bumped and dimpled metal surfaces has been used over the years to create unique approaches to metal panel systems. Create deep textures in metal surfaces with your designs.
