Then we get into what we call a KS42 series panel. This is more of an architectural and an exterior concealed fastened panel. So basically, if you're putting this on the exterior of a building, you have a slight undulation here. You've got a concealed clip that you drill through with a sheeter screw that goes into the structural steel girt. And this attaches. So this would be the exterior of the building. We're fastening this from the exterior. They can make these up to 48 foot in height. And these are a 3.5 foot module width. They are used in clean rooms. They are used in food processing and cold storage.
