STARTER TRACK
Starter Track serves as the foundational support for the AWP system while
also providing faster and greater ease of installation.
Horizontal Panels (6’): Starter Track FA 700
ULTIMATE CLIP
Ultimate Clips sit on the panel shiplaps, securing AWP to the wall and
distributing dead loads to the structure. Together, Ultimate Clips and
Starter Track hold the back surface of the panels off the substrate to create
a 10mm (3/8”) rainscreen space.

Joint Tab Attachments are included with Ultimate Clips and are secured
within a clip at the bottom of each vertical joint to support panel lateral
stability. Fasteners are included for use with the Joint Attachments only.
FINISH CLIP (OPTIONAL)
The Finish Clip provides an alternative to face fastening of AWP at certain
termination points where the panel shiplaps are removed. Install over 5mm
Spacer. Refer to Finish Clip Usage section for general instructions.

CORRUGATED SPACER

ed Spacer is required to maintain the rainscreen space and prevent panel
deflection at face fastening locations such as window sills and headers.
