Architectural Panels
SAF is a manufacturer of caulked panels, also known as ‘wet', panel systems. SAF wet seal panels may be fabricated from Aluminum Composite Materials (ACM), anodized,painted aluminum and a wide ranging variety of other metals, such as zinc or stainless. SAF fabricates wet seal panels from composite materials by Reynobond®, Alpolic®,Alucobond®, or Alucoil®.
Systems available: C-3000 / M-3000 and NM500 Easy Clip System.
Dry Panel, Ventilated, Pressure Equalized Rain Screen, or Rain Screen Panel Systems, including Rain Screen Curtain Wall Systems use gaskets, caulk, extrusions, painted metal strips, and combinations of these, are typically specified when a reveal is desired. These rain screens are a facade, requiring the installer to apply a weather barrier between the panel system and structural wall.
SAF offers two kinds of rainscreens: drained-back-ventiliated and pressure equalized. Both meet AAMA 509-09 rating standard. Choose SAF C4000 ACM or choose SAF M4000 RainScreen 0.125 Aluminum Panels tested for air and water resistance per ASTM 283 and 331. Also available is our C4500 Pressure Equalized Rain Screen Panel System. If installed properly, the system will comply with AAMA 508.

Column Covers
The 1000 Series Metal Column Cover is a“butt joint" column cover that uses a keyhole effect where the bolt from the male attachment is the key. When placed through the teardrop shaped eyehole, gravity pulls the female half of the column cover down to lock it into place.These can be fabricated using any available material (ACM, MCM, aluminum, stainless,etc...)
The M-2000 Series Metal Column Cover is a“reveal joint" column cover. The sections of the column covers are bolted to an angle that is attached to the structural beam. A gap is left between the sections for bolting the columns to the angles. This gap can then be filled with caulk, filled with a channel, or left open. These can be fabricated using any available material (ACM, MCM, aluminum, stainless,etc...)

Painting
An SAF Conversion Coating is a proper corrosion resistant aluminum surface treatment for painting, powder coating, and adhesive bonding. Alodine, Alocromin, and Iridite are trade names sometimes applied to these coatings. These coatings are applied through an immersion process and are compatible with most aluminum alloys. Non-chrome coatings are often specified where environmental considerations are paramount.Chrome conversion coatings provide measure of corrosion resistance and can also be used as a standalone finish.
