Panel Anatomy
Field Joint
A field installed seam between panels, where both panels butt together with no reveal between.
Shop Joint
A shop pre-assembled seam between panels, where both panels butt together with no reveal between.
Miter Fold
Where two panels meet at a corner and both panels receive chamfered edges where they meet together.
Reveal
A finished gap between panels, walls, or ceilings to allow for expansion, contraction, and any movement of panels including necessary movement for installation of panels. (See reveal section below for further clarification on reveal types)
Scribe
Typically an additional 1" of material along the side of a panel butting a floor or wall with no reveal. Necessary for installers to cut panels around drywall when field conditions are not perfect.
Wall Panel Cleat
ONSITE's version of French cleat. A rabbeted block of MDF that is used to attach paneling to walls or framework.
Ceiling Panel Cleat
ONSITE's version of French cleat. A rabbeted block of plywood that is used to attach paneling to ceilings or soffits.
Z-Clip
A bought hardware that is used to attach panels to walls or framework. (strongly not recommended for use on ceilings or soffits)
Shim
A strip of wood placed between the cleat or z-clip and the wall or ceiling. Shims are for installer use to correctly level out our panels when field conditions are not perfect.
Lift Off Space
The space required by the method of panel attachment in order to install panels. Typically used with cleat and z-clip attachment methods.

Reveals
Full Depth Reveal
A reveal where a panel is held back from another panel, wall, or ceiling and a finished block of material rests behind the panel.
Spline Reveal
Quirk Reveal
A reveal where the front edge of the panel receives a route where panel meets another panel, wall, or ceiling. (typically either 1/4" X 1/4" or 1/8" X 1/8")
Full Depth Quirk Hybrid
A reveal that combines the look of a quirk reveal with the function of a full depth reveal with a finished block of wood rabbeted into the back side of the panel.
Rabbeted Quirk Hybrid
A reveal that combines a rabbet with a quirk style reveal. This reveal was used primarily on previous Equifax work.
Attachment Methods
Z Clip
A bought hardware from Monarch Metal Inc. (MF375)
Requires a minimum of 1/2" lift off space
Requires a minimum 1/4" gap to drywall
Panel Cleat
ONSITE's manufactured French cleat style system.
Requires a minimum of 3/4" lift off space
Requires a minimum 1" gap to drywall
Reverse Panel Cleat
ONSITE's manufactured French cleat style system.
Mounted upside-down and requires a stop or trim piece at the base to prevent panel from falling down
Requires a minimum 1" gap to drywall
