Knight Wall Systems offers custom engineering and fabrication services for projects that extend beyond the capabilities of standard cladding support systems. Whether the challenge involves deeper wall assemblies, complex transitions, unique facade geometry or specialized cladding systems, the team works closely with architects, designers and contractors to develop practical, high-performance solutions.
In many cases, a custom solution can be achieved by modifying an existing Knight Wall Systems component. For more complex applications, the team can engineer and fabricate entirely new profiles tailored to project-specific requirements. Every custom component is manufactured using the same high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials found throughout the product family, ensuring consistent performance, durability and quality across the assembly.

*Spacing of components varies by project based on project specific conditions. Maximum allowable spacing and dead load (weight of cladding) is based on the total load (dead + live) acting on the assembly and connections. Depending on the system, insulation thickness will influence the systems capacities.
Wall anchors must be specified and supplied by KWS for an extended written limited warranty. KWS will specify the exact anchor type, embedment depth and spacing for anchors in project specific engineering packages. ThermaStop thermal isolation washers must be used on all types of wall anchors with the HCI or CI System, regardless of the substrate.
