Today’s most innovative building designs have been created through the use of architectural metal panels. Not just for their durability and strength, but for the incredible design opportunities that they can achieve. Here are just a few of the benefits that architectural metal panels can offer on your next construction project:
Versatility
Metal panels can be used almost anywhere in a building project. On the exterior, they can replace heavy wall cladding, such as concrete or masonry, as the entire wall or to give contrast. They are also much faster and easier to install. On the interior, metal panels can replace conventional materials like wood or drywall to create unique wall and ceiling surfaces that are strong, durable, and aesthetically unique. With so many different materials and finishes to choose from, you can create anything from a rustic aged metal wall, to a sleek and modern stainless steel design.
Limitless Capability
Metal panels are not only available in hundreds of different styles and finishes, they are also malleable. Meaning the design capabilities of your home or building are limitless. Imagine complex shapes, curves, or even three dimensional accents. Metal panels can bring these visions to life in ways that concrete, brick, or wood simply can’t.
Durability
Metal panels provide a strong exterior that can withstand high winds, water damage, and hard impacts. Metal panels are also fire resistant and, depending on the material, resistant to corrosion and electrochemical reactions. Requiring little maintenance, they are the perfect construction material for creating an easy, long-lasting building.
Lightweight
Because metal panels are so lightweight, the load requirements for the structural components are reduced. Leading to quicker construction time, lower construction costs and less complex installation requirements. On the interior, depending on the type of material used, architectural wall panels can be much lighter than drywall or other materials, while offering greater rigidity.
While the practical benefits of metal panels for construction are many, so too are the aesthetic advantages. From extraordinary details, wide range of colors, and array of creative construction ideas, metal panels become a clear choice for both the structure or the roof.
