Forge™ Wall System
Formerly Called Rivetless Dry Joint Plate
Pure + FreeForm Forge™ Wall Systems are a high-performance architectural metal wall panel system designed for large-scale, monolithic exterior metal wall cladding. Formerly known as a rivetless dry joint plate system, the Forge™ metal wall system is a premium rainscreen wall system with concealed fasteners, delivering a clean, uninterrupted facade. Fabricated from durable 3mm aluminum plate panels, this system supports expansive panel spans, making it ideal for large format metal wall panels and bold architectural designs.
The Forge™ wall system features rivetless panels with a double return, creating crisp lines and refined shadow details without visible fasteners. Engineered for superior durability, this metal wall system can withstand higher wind loads than other metal wall panels, making it a top choice for demanding exterior architectural wall systems that require long-term performance and a sleek, modern aesthetic.
