MDi CAT-1-Slim System
MDi CAT-1-Slim System is a ventilated façade system designed for thin MDi surfaces. Developed to create lighter façades with improved technical performance, the system helps simplify installation, supports panel replacement, and can contribute to reduced construction time.
The system uses a concealed longitudinal fixing method that allows panels to be securely mounted while maintaining a clean exterior appearance. The back of the MDi surface is mechanically processed with horizontal grooves, allowing complementary aluminum profiles to be inserted and used as the hanging mechanism for the façade substructure.
Applications
Applications
- Ventilated façades
- Exterior cladding
- Commercial buildings
- Residential exteriors
- Large-format thin surface applications
- New construction and renovation projects
Technical Details
- The system is designed for thin MDi surfaces used in ventilated façade applications.
- The back of the panel is horizontally mechanized with a pair of longitudinal grooves.
- Aluminum hook-and-lock profiles are inserted into the upper and lower grooves.
- The panel is hung from a horizontal profile fixed to the vertical substructure of the ventilated façade.
- An MS elastic adhesive is applied at critical contact points to help absorb wind-induced vibration and material expansion.
- The adhesive also helps prevent panel detachment in th

Available Materials
- MDi CAT-1-Slim System is designed for compatible MDi surfaces suitable for ventilated façade applications.
- Final material selection, panel format, thickness, and installation requirements should be reviewed based on project specifications and technical compatibility.
System Construction
- MDi CAT-1-Slim System uses a concealed hook-and-lock profile system.
- The panel is mechanically grooved on the back side, fitted with aluminum profiles, and mounted to the horizontal and vertical façade substructure.
- An MS elastic adhesive is used as part of the system to support performance, vibration absorption, and added security.
