Click-in Cladding System

Modified wood manufacturer Kebony and has partnered with cladding and decking attachment system innovator Grad Concept USA on Click-in Cladding System, a new rainscreen system for the North American building envelope industry and interior accent walls. Click-in Cladding System utilizes a special cladding profile, expressly designed for the Grad Mini Rail system, which precisely locks Kebony Grad cladding into place quickly and easily. In partnership with Grad Concept USA, Kebony is the first manufacturer to provide an off-the-shelf, passive rainscreen with completely hidden fasteners, no pre-drilling, and perfectly aligned boards in the most popular gap options, all while cutting install time in half. Click-in Cladding System Mini Rail clips are factory-placed in position, so the installer simply fastens the rails onto the sheathing or vapor barrier and snaps the boards on. The rails create a natural air gap so theres no need to install furring strips ahead of time. Based on the desired aesthetic, Mini Rails come in two different gap sizes and can be installed vertically or horizontally: 1×6 with a narrow gap (5/32), which is similar in appearance to a nickel gap profile; and 1×6 with a wide gap (17/64), which resembles shiplap. The Click-in Cladding System features: Patented clips pre-mounted on aluminum rails Uniform spacing for the perfect look Built-in air gap behind the boards A true hidden fastening system 50% faster installation time Made of 100% recyclable aluminum & POM (polyoxymethylene) No pre-drilling of the boards or rails required 30-year warranty (Kebony Clear) 50-75 year expected life span No maintenance required; fades to silver-gray patina when left unfinished In stock, no custom milling required One board with two gap size options
