Key Features
The GRID® Wall Protection System by American Architectural Products Group (AAPG) is a robust and innovative solution for demanding environments where durability and cleanliness are paramount. This system features solid phenolic panels that are Class A Fire Rated, antimicrobial, and highly impact-resistant, making it ideal for spaces such as hospitals, laboratories, schools, and industrial facilities.
The phenolic panels are also chemical-resistant, capable of withstanding exposure to harsh cleaning agents without degrading or discoloring. This makes the GRID® system an excellent choice for environments requiring rigorous sanitation standards.
Designed for ease of installation, the panels require no clips, instead sliding seamlessly into extrusions for a secure and streamlined fit. At only 4mm thick, these panels provide exceptional performance without adding unnecessary bulk, allowing for a sleek and modern appearance.
With its combination of safety, durability, and easy maintenance, the GRID® Wall Protection System is a reliable and efficient choice for protecting walls in high-traffic or sensitive environments.
Optional Elements
The GRID® system integrates panels into a precision-framed layout, delivering clean lines, consistent reveals, and efficient installation while meeting stringent fire and environmental standards.
Phenolic
Phenolic, also known as Compact Laminate, used in the GRID® wall panel system by AAPG is a high-performance material known for its durability, impact resistance, and moisture tolerance. It is highly resistant to scratching and impact, making it ideal for high-traffic and demanding environments. Additionally, phenolic is antimicrobial and resistant to harsh cleaning chemicals, supporting hygiene and long-term performance in commercial applications.
The phenolic panels used in the GRID® system are acoustically reflective and provide no sound absorption, making them suitable for applications where sound control is not a primary concern.
Fire Rated
Our fire-rated panels are designed to meet the highest safety standards without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Phenolic panels provide a broad range of decor options suitable for public, commercial, and institutional spaces. These panels is rigorously tested and certified to meet both ASTM E84 Class A and CAN/ULC-S102 Class A fire ratings, ensuring compliance with stringent fire safety codes in the U.S. and Canada. Whether you're designing for a high-traffic corridor, public assembly space, or transit environment, our fire-rated GRID® phenolic panels deliver peace of mind along with exceptional durability and design flexibility.
Reveal Options
The GRID® reveal system is a precision-engineered framing solution that delivers clean, consistent reveals between panels for a modern, architectural finish. Supplied standard with an anodized aluminum reveal, the system enhances the visual rhythm of wall designs while ensuring durability and alignment. For added design flexibility, the reveals can also be powder coated to either match or contrast with the phenolic panel decor, allowing for customized aesthetic expressions in any space.
