| Dri-Design |
 |
Dri-Design has turned the Metal Panel Industry on its ear. President Brad Zeeff set out to solve what he viewed as the significant shortfalls of traditional metal panel systems: delamination, staining due to the effects of weather on joints and gaskets, a lack of color and texture options, the rising cost of production and inefficient installation practices.
The result of Dri-Design’s meticulous engineering, is a 100% recyclable, pressure equalized rain-screen, architectural metal wall panel system that attaches to nearly any substrate without the use of clips or extrusions. The pressure equalized rain-screen design can be installed simply over commercial grade Tyvek onto plywood, or as the most sophisticated outboard insulation pressure equalized rain-screen you can design.
