Product Information
PentaClad™ systems offers an effective solution for enclosing non-conditioned spaces. The single panel design uses Nano-Cell® technology to provide durability and impact resistance plus balanced distribution of natural light. The system helps modernize building exteriors or hide mechanical structures with a standing seam or flush appearance that allows for graphics and backlighting. It’s a great tool for creating eye-catching light boxes that highlight an entryway or public space.
Product Highlights
- Nano-Cell® technology uses cells measuring smaller than 0.18 inches to provide superior durability
- Glazing panels are co-extruded with a specialized UV inhibitor for long-term performance
- Polycarbonate glazing panels feature a triple-tooth connection for superior loading capabilities
- Stainless steel panel clips with aluminum purlin substructure and aluminum framing system provide additional strength
- Creates space for signage or applied graphics either internally or externally
- Backlighting opportunities allow for “light box” designs that can draw in customers or highlight building features
- Lightweight and simple to install
- 10-year material workmanship warranty

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum length of a PentaClad™ glazing panel?
Panels can be up to 38 feet long, but require interior support at specific intervals depending on load requirements. Contact us for details related to your specific project requirements.
What is Nano-cell® technology?
The tighter spaced cells in the panel add strength, making them more durable and provide enhanced impact resistance. The cell structure also improves the distribution of light through the glazing
What is a "light box"?
Light boxes are areas designed for the purpose of attracting attention to a space, usually an entryway. PentaClad translucent systems allow for unique backlighting effects, and their light weight allows for design versatility.
Are the PentaClad™ glazing panels available in different thicknesses?
Yes – panels are available in 10mm, 12mm and 16mm thicknesses depending on project needs.
