Application

Suitable for both horizontal and vertical applications, DryKlad® Datona Visible Fix provides a versatile solution for contemporary Aluminium Rainscreen Cladding designs across a wide variety of building types.

Description

DryKlad® Datona Visible Fix is a discreet-fix Aluminium Rainscreen Cladding system designed to deliver clean, modern façade lines with consistent joint geometry and a refined architectural appearance. Its face-fixed configuration uses colour-matched fixings to minimise visibility while ensuring secure mechanical engagement.

Available in a wide range of finishes, sizes, and folded options, Datona Visible Fix enables designers to incorporate striking colours, modern textures, and bold design features that reflect the identity of a building or brand.

The system forms part of a fully drained and back-ventilated Rainscreen assembly, promoting effective moisture management and long-term building envelope performance. Installation begins at the base of the façade and allows multiple vertical installation zones to progress simultaneously, providing significant programme flexibility. Panels can be installed in portrait or landscape orientation, or combined to create dynamic mixed-direction façade layouts. A library of standardised details—including corners, head and sill profiles, jambs, and recessed openings—gives specifiers reliable, repeatable solutions while retaining broad design freedom.
