The system allows you to <b>vary the panel depth from 1&#8243; to 6&#8243;<\/b>. This creates accents or breaks the rhythm without changing products. Furthermore, it offers great layout freedom thanks to its dimensions: rectangular formats up to <b>55\u2033 x 139\u2033 (1397 mm x 3530 mm)<\/b> and square formats up to <b>55\u2033 x 55\u2033 (1397 mm)<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left\">2.
