Types of IWC
Wall Hung
In this type of wall protection system, various aluminium profiles form a strong and stable frame that can hold 9mm compact panel using a reliable and sturdy interlocking mechanism. The profiles are designed in such a way that they are not visible from the front except from top, bottom and corners.
Wall Punched System
In this type of wall protection system, the compact panels are affixed directly into the wall without using any aluminium profiles. However, the top, bottom and corners are still covered with aluminium profiles to protect the edges. Wall-punched system is an economic option as compared to Wall-Hung System since it uses only 6mm compact panels and uses less number of aluminium profiles.
