Series M3000 Glazed Plate Panel System
We sell our individual panel extrusions. See the details HERE.
Series NM500 panel and clip system
The SAF Series NM500 easy clip system is our least expensive wet seal (caulked) system. The system uses a series of staggered clip angles along the routed and returned edges of the panel. The clip angles are factory attached in such a manner to allow for non-progressive installation and removal of any panel without disturbing adjacent panels. This system can also be offered with shipped loose clip angles for field attachment to the panels giving installers more flexibility of clip angle location and panel installation. Also, the NM500 system allows the building owners to quickly and easily replace a damaged panel in the future.

Series C-3000 glazed wall panels
The SAF Series 3000 wet sealed (caulked) panel system is designed for better structural integrity and better water/vapor protection. While no panel system is completely impervious to vapor/water penetration, the caulked 3000 system adds an extra level of protection. Additionally, this system is designed for higher wind loads and flatter panels. This system uses continuous “male” and “female” extrusions factory attached along the routed and returned edges of the panel, requiring a progressive installation method. The 3000 system may be manufactured with factory applied stiffeners to prevent “oil-canning.”

Series C-4000 Drained & Back-Ventilated Rain Screen panels
The SAF Series 4000 panel system is a drained and back ventilated rain screen incorporating a strip of composite material in the reveal between each panel (instead of caulk) resulting in a more uniform appearance. The rain screen Series 4000 system comes with fabricated panels and shipped-loose “track” extrusions. The fabricated panels include a “frame” extrusion, factory attached to the routed and returned edges of the panel that fits conveniently into the field installed horizontal and vertical “track” extrusions. SAF’s 4000 rain screen is designed to allow moisture to permeate the outside wall, but subsequently drain through weep holes along the bottom edge of each panel. While any remaining moisture is designed to evaporate, the outside wall is not designed to act as a water/vapor barrier for the building.

Series C-4500 Pressure Equalized Rain Screen panels
The SAF Series 4500 pressure equalized rain screen is similar to the 4000. It uses the same "track" and "frame" extrusions, but is manufactured with mitered frame extrusions and additional reinforcement in the corners of the panels. If the panels are manufactured by SAF and are properly installed the resulting rain screen will comply with AAMA 508. Like the 4000, the 4500 comes with fabricated panels and shipped-loose “track” extrusions. Contact SAF for details on our new Series 4500 panels.

SAF E-Wall panel system
The SAF E Wall system is made from sheared flat panels and an exterior extruded frame. The panels are not route-and-return panels, so fabrication goes quickly. The frame extrusions are exposed and typically spray coated and will not perfectly match the finish on the panels.
