Single vs. Double Layer Systems: What Does Your Project Really Need? (8-28-2025)

Not all cladding support systems are created equal and choosing the right one starts with understanding your panel type, layout, and structural needs.

• Single Layer Systems are generally ideal for claddings such as single-skin profiled metal panels, lap siding, adhered veneers, stucco and concealed panel systems, where one layer of support is sufficient to meet design and performance goals.
• Double Layer Systems are often required for face-fastened panels, especially since it’s practically guaranteed the panel layout will not align with stud spacing; or when floor line deflection needs to be addressed.

No matter which system your project calls for, KNIGHT WALL SYSTEMS® delivers the right solution. Our engineered cladding support systems are formed to accommodate any design, simple or complex, while optimizing performance, ease of installation, and long-term durability.
