Description

The Genius Linear system is a secret fixed panel that gives the effect of a floating system. Traditionally plank profiles are generally used for fascia and soffit applications, however it is also possible to use them for a cost effective, main facade solution.

 

The application of the vertical linear ‘standing seam’ profile gives the appearance of a traditional standing seam system at a fraction of the cost.
