Cladding System at Zip Car Wash | Longboard®

Longboard manufactures premium interior & exterior aluminum building products in a wide range of woodgrain, solid color, specialty & custom finishes. Longboard's 6" V-Groove Planks, 4" & 6" Link & Lock™, 6" Panelboard™ were used in the redesign of Zips Car Wash, located in the USA.

Zips Car Wash, a leading car wash chain in the United States, launched a rebranding and expansion project to modernize its facilities and enhance market presence. The redesign focused on creating a more efficient and customer-friendly environment at all locations.

The rebranding focused on streamlining operations, enhancing customer experience, and establishing a distinctive identity. Key updates included upgrading car wash technology, redesigning layouts for better vehicle throughput, and introducing consistent signage. Standardized materials and construction techniques ensured rapid expansion and uniformity across locations.

Custom finishes:
Custom finishes included "Zips" Red, Bone White, Black and Table Walnut. These materials were chosen for durability, easy installation and aesthetic versatility. The custom colors reinforced brand identity while withstanding various weather conditions, maintaining both function and appearance.

The use of Longboard® products offers several advantages:

• Ease of installation: The Panelboard™ system integrates seamlessly with mounting accessories and trims, reducing installation time and complexity.
• Versatility: Panels can be easily customized on-site, providing design flexibility.
• Durability: Materials offer long-term performance with minimal maintenance, backed by 15 and 20-year warranties.
• Aesthetic appeal: The smooth planks and trims create a sleek, modern look that reflects the updated brand image.

These features allowed Zips Car Wash to efficiently execute the redesign, ensuring consistency and quality across locations. The project has positioned Zips Car Wash as an industry leader, enhancing operational efficiency, customer experience, and brand recognition while supporting continued expansion with consistent quality.
