Unlike typical buried systems, the |f| offers tested performance.
Labeled Thermal Performance:
Though framing is hidden, thermal conductivity is still an issue. Site-built systems ignore this reality but the |f| comes with thermal barriers and will be tested and NFRC labeled. For even better results, we offer Simulated Performance Alternative factors.
Breathing Wall:
Though buried, the |f| allows minute air particles to move inside the frame, preventing the build-up of condensation in the wall cavity.
Limiting Deflection:
The EDGE Fin is both a cosmetic and performance option. Most systems ignore deflection or require field reinforcing. The Fin has a 1” sightline and is the same depth as the EDGE |s|, making opposing wall installations consistent in appearance.
Water Performance:
With Fleetwood’s hidden Arche-Duct draining system (SFD-E), the EDGE easily handles high-rise water performance.
