Snaplock
Snaplock offers a sleek profile, perfectly adaptable to new architectural developments.
Snaplock panels give a similar finish to Standing Seam without the need for specialist tools for installation. Snaplock panels are designed to ‘snap’ together, offering a low fuss installation.
Snaplock is held in place with a clip, allowing for panel expansion and contraction. Making it a great choice for use in extreme weather conditions.

Installation
A construction-grade substrate is required for all Snaplock applications. When working with zinc, a constant ventilation gap of 20 mm beneath the substrate is required for wall cladding applications, and a 40 mm gap is required for roof installations (note, this is for zinc only). Before laying cladding panels, the substrate should be encased with a moisture-proof membrane. Each panel must be secured to the membraned substrate using approved stainless steel clips and countersunk screws.
Custom Sizing
Panel widths and lengths can be varied depending on the material. Inquire about on site custom sizing with Architectural Cladding Melbourne if the sizing on our website does not suit your needs. If you’re planning to use Snaplock in a non-standard application, check with us to make sure all of the aspects are viable.
