Desing & Build








Factory-Insulated Metal Panel Systems









Metal Composite and Plate Panel Systems






The first designs were basic, and communication between suppliers and designers was fairly simple, with education being a key part of the sale. Today the entire process and the end result are much more sophisticated.
Designs are highly creative and vibrant. Metal wall panel products are innovative, there is a wider variety to choose from and they are designed to meet today’s high performance building needs. Marketing and communication is multi-layered and in many cases instant. Education remains a huge part of marketing – but is quite comprehensive and delivered through a variety of media.
Yes, the industry and its products have come a long way. In the early years, metal wall panels were typically applied in a vertical manner. There was nothing exciting about these panels for them to compete against other products that were more architecturally pleasing. Now designs are much more interesting. Metal panels are used in all kinds of directions, with multiple profiles placed on one wall. Single skins are combined with MCM, or different styles of panels are used to give a design more definition. The types of panels have grown from just one or two simple styles to a wide variety of different profiles, sizes, colors, metals, and gauges with a much broader spectrum of finishes and coatings.

The running bond pattern on the 120,000 sq. ft. Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center in Huntley, IL, creates a distinctive appearance by staggering the vertical joints between panels. This high-tech exterior was created with a computer-generated random pattern using two differernt silver-colored insulated metal wall panels from Metl-Span. Click images to enlarge.

Applications have also expanded going from plain wall panels to unique architectural elements. Metal panels now clad entire building exteriors, frequently using one or several types of panels. They also are combined with other building materials, or applied as a metal-on-metal accent.
“One project might use five or six different types of wall material along with glass. These designs mix and match two or three panel types, such as flat and profile, to impart a sense of texture on the exterior walls and improve the building’s energy efficiency.

Prefabricated house


Characteristics: The structure of the system burdened by cares of the wall formed by joists small-distancing cold-pressing thin steel, a new type of materials with features like lightweight, high strength and good thermal insulation and fire resistance used for slabs walls and floors; standardized and normalized system fittings, etc. The outer wall consists of a plate exterior wall, a barrier of water, structural outer plate, light steel joists, insulating the heat, and interior lining. Plates outer wall include: metal clapboard, clapboard vinyl, wood clapboard siding, and wooden spoken with derision and calibrated clapboard, which can meet various fa?transfers ade. Interior walls using light steel joists insulated plasterboard walls with a maximum of up to 2 hours fire resistance, sound insulation up to 53DB; rating thermal resistance insulating cotton inside the wall between R13-R30; unilateralism that penetrated the air-and water-repellent paper wet-proof barrier for water outer wall. Floor system of a typical light steel villa system mainly consists of the joists, structural panels and ceiling suspension. Joists using cold-fromed & steel thin-wall as a load-bearing members, a structural panel flakeboard oriented OSB; ceiling suspension light steel plasterboard joists, and villas of light steel generally have a sloping roof, the basic structural forms which are as follows: the slopes of the run, structural panel water barrier and thermal insulator, and paneling. Boards used for coating components include roof cladding roofing, color squeezed broken tiles, paint corrugated tiles, sheet joint-lock metal and glass tile colors, etc.with diversified colors, shapes and strong bond issue and submission of leak-proofing. Compared with brick-concrete structure, light steel villa has a more dynamic and a sleek shape with a better conduct of insulation, and wall surfacing materials of different textures can create a lot of architectural styles, compared with a wooden structure, light steel villa is more cost effective. Material for light steel houses mainly in relation to environmental friendly products, green building. In addition, the small size of the partition and the dead weight of light frame steel joists cold pressing are 5 ~ 8% larger than the benefit district design than traditional structures, so the initial cost is reduced. One more point worth noting that the light steel villa system simply requires term process and project design - the design of one of the legendary lightweight Villa 2 with area of approximately 300sqm, the term of the project is mainly the structure of only 1 month when five construction workers for construction.
