The Frontek™ Rainscreen Extruded Porcelain Siding System Strength
Surpasses all ICC fire resistance requirements
Made from naturally non-combustible porcelain and combined with an advanced open-joint cladding system, it effortlessly meets stringent fire codes. Frontek is fully compliant with ASTM E119, NFPA 285, and ASTM E136 standards.
Factory Rectified
Each panel is expertly ground after firing, a process called "rectification," ensuring precise edges for a flawless fit. This attention to detail prevents shrinkage or expansion during installation, guaranteeing a perfect finish for your project.
Acoustic Insulation
The Frontek System provides superior sound protection, enhancing acoustics by ~4dBA at 1000 Hz. It blocks external noise, minimizes indoor sound transmission, and features a ventilation layer for an improved noise barrier effect.
Lightweight & Flexibl
The Frontek system, including panels and Plus Structure, weighs only 6.55 lbs/ft². It comes in customizable colors, designs, and sizes (15.95×31.50" to 39.3×118"). No sealing or coating is needed for exposed areas like kerf cuts or mitered joints.
All-weather material
Frontek demonstrates exceptional performance in the face of the most challenging environmental conditions, showcasing a superior and unwavering resistance to various weather elements.
Virtually no maintenance
Porcelain’s high density and low absorption prevent dirt and graffiti buildup. In open joint cladding, it resists efflorescence, drips, and stains—ensuring a maintenance-free façade.
