EnFold Façade, a division of BŌK Modern, provides rainscreen and wallscreen systems for your architectural vision. Our patented systems are designed to minimize on-site labor by integrating features directly into the panels. This process accelerates installation and results in reduced overall costs.The panels that make up our rainscreens and wallscreens can be fabricated from a variety of flat sheet metal materials that are strategically designed and can be laser cut with a virtually infinite array of patterns and shapes.

Structural rigidity is integrated directly into panels through specialized and precise forming, eliminating the need for welding or secondary structural elements. The EnFold Façade system incorporates tabs and slots to control spacing and ensure quick and easy installation. When installed over a suitable substrate, our direct mount unitized panel system generally requires no additional furring or secondary support members. As with all our products, this system is completely customizable and backed by BŌK’s excellent design teams.
