Can Interior Architectural Panels Be Installed With Modulo?

Architects and designers can speak to the importance of choosing a material that blends design cohesion with high-level performance.

We are proud to provide an innovative solution to maintaining this balance with Max Compact Interior phenolic panels. The durable, cleanable, and sustainable panels can now fit a concealed aesthetic for interior wall and ceiling cladding easier than ever before.

Fundermax consistently maximizes, rather than limits, design capabilities for architects. An example of this is our traditionally exterior-focused Modulo fastening system, which also offers an optimal solution for interiors as well.

What is Modulo?

Fundermax’s Modulo fastening system is a concealed fastener, closed joint modern façade plank system which employs style and versatility to designs.

Employing a concealed clip system with routed edges, the panels can be installed in a stacked bond, running bond, or a combination of both. With plank heights ranging from 6 to 24 inches, Modulo allows maximum design freedom for interior applications.

With the Modulo system, Fundermax provides panels and mounting clips from a single source. This benefits the cladding option’s cost, as it offers a concealed look without the cost of additional pieces.

With no parts visible from the outside, Modulo allowed a neat and clean design on the soffits of Reliant Medical Group in Leominster, Massachusetts.

How Does Modulo Benefit Interior Applications?

Advantages of Concealed Fastening for Interior Cladding

Hidden fastening systems with interior applications promote a sleek, cohesive aesthetic. They also offer extreme durability and reduced maintenance, as fasteners are protected once installed.

These systems also eliminate the clutter of loose parts during delivery and installation. The panels arrive ready for safe storage or shipment, with reduced risk of damage and much less bulk.

Advantages of Modulo Fastening Systems for Interior Cladding

Max Compact Interior panels arrive ready for installation, which means less waste and better use of your materials budget.

Modulo requires 8 mm-thick panels, which further benefits project costs with a lighter interior cladding material. The system utilizes an edge-routed system, making the fastening less expensive than having to drill concealed holes on the backside with a traditional Z-clip.

Fundermax also offers faster fabrication through FastMax, a program that expedites the production of Modulo systems. When paired with our selection of North American Stock Max Compact Exterior decors, the program can reduce lead times more than ever before.

Our Modulo fastening system offers architects an ideal concealed solution for interior wall cladding projects. By combining the benefits of Max Compact Interior panels with the streamlined, high-end look of Modulo, designers can create truly outstanding spaces.
