Keep panels in plane.
Keep joints consistent.
Gridworx Panel Sync tools help you align wall cladding panels for a cleaner finish.
PANEL ALIGNMENT
Precise alignment.
A cleaner finish.
Panel Sync helps installers fine-tune the faces of adjoining wall cladding panels. This reduces lippage, the unevenness you see and feel when one panel sits higher than the next. As a result, the facade has a flatter, more consistent finish.
Once you line up the panels, the tool holds them in place while the silicone sets. Then you can release it and use it at the next joint. Use PanelSync on residential and commercial cladding projects.
- Fine-tune alignment
- Reduce lippage
- Reuse across installations
Panel Sync tools for different joints
Hook Tool
The Hook Tool engages the Gridworx channel to align adjoining panel faces. For example, use it where four panel corners meet. It also works at vertical and horizontal joints.
T Tool
In contrast, the T Tool engages the back surfaces of two panels. Position it in the vertical joint to bring their faces into alignment.
Align with Panel Sync in four steps
The photos show the T Tool at a vertical joint. First, check which tool matches the joint you want to align. Then follow the sequence below to make and hold the adjustment.
Engage
First, position PanelSync at the target panel joint.
Fine-tune
Next, turn the handle to adjust panel alignment.
Hold
Then maintain alignment while the silicone sets.
Release
Once the silicone has set, disengage and reuse the tool at the next location.
