Column and Beam Cladding
  • Integrate with Metalwërks plate wall systems or stand-alone applications
  • Typically manufactured in solid 0.125” (3.18mm) or 0.188” (4.78mm) thick aluminum and 16-12 gauge stainless steel (smooth and textured)
  • More abuse resistant than gypsum- or fiberglass-based products or aluminum composite material
  • Can be custom formed to adapt to all types of geometric designs, including curves with
    radii down to 6”
  • Non-Combustible: minimal smoke or fuel contribution
  • Avoids NFPA 285 complications by avoiding thermo-plastic cores
  • All panel systems are reinforced/stiffened to resist deflection limits
  • Vertical butt joints or open 0.625" reveals with recessed batten strip, or backer rod and sealant
  • Panels custom manufactured and not limited by minimum production runs
  • Metalwërks supplies engineered supports for the enclosure products
  • 100% recyclable and manufactured from materials with high post-consumer/industrial content which can contribute to LEED credits
