Installation

Novenary is approved for soffit installation and angled wall installation, covered by a separate one-sheet. Hidden-fastener clips carry the nine-tile Novenary panels, as on every AWP product. The integrated rainscreen provides ventilation and drainage behind the deeper 21 mm panel. A high wind load rating and Miami-Dade County approval are listed for the clip system, without a numeric value. The horizontal AWP install guide applies.

Place in the Dimension Series

The Dimension Series pairs Novenary with the Ribbed panel. Both have recessed reveals and strong shadow lines. Ribbed is made in AWP 3030 at 5/8 inch (16 mm) thickness, installs horizontally or vertically, and is available in virtually any color. Ribbed colors named on the sheet include Ivory and Indigo, and Ribbed is also available through Color Xpressions custom colors.
