Our Story
Engineered ACM Rainscreen Systems for North American Commercial Construction
Turtle Rib delivers specification-ready dry-joint rainscreen assemblies with third-party tested performance. Our system combines engineered water management with practical installation efficiency for demanding commercial envelopes.
Our Innovation
Patent-pending technology that advances water management in commercial building exteriors. Our dry-joint system eliminates gaskets and caulking while maintaining tested performance on complete assemblies.
- •Advanced weep hole & pressure equalization design
- •Snap-fit stainless steel clip system
- •Three versatile panel modes from one system
Our Commitment
Every Turtle Rib system is engineered for specification support, tested on complete assemblies, and designed for long-term durability. NFPA 285-23 and AAMA 508-21 documentation supports your design process.
- •Engineered to support code-compliant assemblies across North America
- •Rigorously tested for fire safety & water management
- •Enhanced thermal performance options available
Manufactured in the USA & Canada. North America-wide specification and project support with inventory hubs in California and British Columbia.
