Substrate Overview
FastPlank® Systems can be installed over sheathed wood-stud or steel-stud walls, metal girts, and furred concrete or masonry using the specified fastener for each substrate.
Rainscreen System
All FastPlank® systems are AAMA 508-certified pressure-equalized rainscreens. Intelligent design channels water away from the building envelope, while a 3/8" air cavity exceeds building code rainscreen requirements.
Clip & Slide™ Attachment
Patented Clip & Slide™ technology secures each plank with hidden clips spaced 16" to 32" apart. The lightweight 16' aluminum planks slide into place, and a non-ferrous carbide blade handles clean cuts on site.
Durability
FastPlank® has achieved a Very Severe Hail (VSH) rating, withstanding two-inch ice balls fired at more than 150 feet per second with no visible damage. Heavy-gauge extruded aluminum provides lasting impact resistance for demanding exterior environments.
Powder Perfect™ Paint
Our powder-coated systems are engineered for long-term exterior performance, with AAMA 2604-tested resistance to fading and chalking caused by UV exposure. The result is lasting color and appearance, designed so your building can look as good in year 30 as it did on day one.

FAQ
Product Overview
Unlike traditional lap siding, where joints can drop, gap, and cast uneven shadow lines over time, FastPlank® Lap is manufactured from precision-engineered 6063-T6 aluminum extrusions that maintain exceptional dimensional stability. Combined with its tongue-and-groove construction, every course locks into place to create clean, uniform shadow lines across the entire façade. The result is a crisp architectural appearance that stays true to the original design intent, without the waviness and inconsistency often associated with conventional lap siding. Finished with a durable architectural-grade powder coating, FastPlank maintains its clean, just-installed appearance for decades.
Design & Finish Options
Lap is offered in four stocked woodgrain and four stocked solid finishes, plus 20 special-order woodgrains. The ColorMatch® Program supports custom solid color matching to project specifications.
System Compatibility & Applications
Yes. FastPlank® Lap is well suited to both residential and multifamily projects. Its familiar horizontal profile offers broad architectural appeal, making it equally effective on single-family homes, townhomes, mixed-use developments, and larger multifamily buildings. The clean shadow lines and precision of 6063-T6 aluminum extrusions deliver a more refined appearance than traditional lap siding, while the durability, low maintenance requirements, and integrated rainscreen design make it a practical choice for projects of any scale.
Performance & Engineering
On larger multifamily buildings, FastPlank® Lap delivers the familiar scale and comfort of traditional lap siding with a level of consistency that is difficult to achieve with conventional materials. Precision-engineered planks maintain straight, uniform shadow lines across long elevations, helping large buildings feel intentional and refined rather than repetitive. Available in a wide range of woodgrain and solid color finishes, Lap can be used to create visual interest, define architectural elements, and break down building mass while maintaining a cohesive design language across the entire project.
Yes. FastPlank® Lap is frequently combined with other cladding systems to create contrast, define architectural features, and add visual interest to a façade. Its clean horizontal lines pair naturally with panel systems, vertical cladding, masonry, and other FastPlank profiles. Because all FastPlank profiles share the same Clip & Slide™ installation system and tongue-and-groove platform, transitions between profiles are clean, cohesive, and easy to execute, giving designers greater flexibility without compromising consistency.
