Cladding Types
Aspect Series
Aspect UHPC panels are plank-style panels that are 24” or less in one direction and up to 120” in the other and available in sizes down to 6” x 72”.
Format Series
Format UHPC panels are manufactured in sizes that exceed 24” in more than two directions and available up to 72” x 144” finished size.
Colors
Envel products are available in a wide variety of UV-stable iron oxide through-body colors. Although we offer 12 preformulated colors shown here, FACADE FREEDOM means that we offer the ability to match the custom color you envision for your project.
Finish Treatments
Envel Nano
All Envel UHPC panels receive Envel Nano sealer, a hydrophobic penetrating sealer that forms a chemical bond with the product to protect the panels from moisture. Envel Nano is non-film-forming, breathable, and does not affect the finished color or leave a sheen. This sealer allows the product’s natural color and overall tonal variation to be expressed.
Metallic Color
If you’re looking for a more exotic finish, our sealers can give a range of styles to your UHPC panels through a series of metallic colors.
Envel SG
Want more control over the final finished appearance? Envel-SG is a non-film-forming, breathable sealer-stain whose color and opacity are precisely adjusted to your specifications. Want precise control over the Envel UHPC product’s natural variations? This sealer is the one for you. Envel-SG is available in varying levels of gloss, from matte to medium, and is used to achieve rich, saturated, colors and finishes that are not always possible in concrete with through-body mineral pigments alone. Open up a world of finish options for your designs with a through-body color cast product combined with Envel-SG.
Enhancing the Overall Look
Envel’s sealers are employed to assist in resistance to soiling due to natural environmental contaminants and pollution, as well as enhancing the ability of the product to be easily cleaned.
Although you can add additional sealers, our panels don’t require it to prevent water absorption, due to the inherent density and near-zero porosity of the Envel UHPC mix along with our Nano Sealer that goes on every panel.
Surfaces, Textures & Patterns
Envel offers the unique opportunity for architects and designers to add depth, complexity and defining appeal to a project with a range of standard surfaces, textures, and patterns. Envel panels can be completely customized by the designer, providing a finished look that is as diverse as it is distinct.
Our team is always researching new ideas to identify market needs and current facade purposes. Our team designs our standard textures and updates them consistently to respond to the facade marketplace, with input from architects, designers, engineers, and contractors.
For applications desiring perforation patterns, lattices or brise soleil type applications, surfaces can be created with open nonsolid designs.
Attachment Systems
Hidden Fastener System
Hidden fastening systems allow panel installation with no visible fasteners. This type of fastening offers enhanced seismic performance as well as greater ease of installation for larger and/or heavier panel formats. Hidden fastening is best used with larger panel sizes and/or those with deep patterns in order to maximize the visual effect. Envel hidden fastening is compatible with most insulation framing systems on the market.
Face Fastened System
Face fastened systems offer an economical alternative to hidden fastening systems. These systems are best used with shallow-relief surface textures and also are more adaptable to modification to accommodate field conditions and all insulation framing systems. Face fastening can be inset or flush with the face of the panel, and color-matched fasteners are generally not visible at distances of 20′ or greater.
