Metal Composite Material (MCM) & Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) Panel Systems in Seattle WA
Used around the world i a wide range of architectural and specialty applications, Metal Composite Material (MCM) is a durable, versatile and affordable architectural facade. It is corrosion-resistant, lightweight and rigid, exceptionally flat, daringly formable and distinctively colorful. MCM Panel Systems provide numerous advantages, such as strength, durability, competitive price, and ease of maintenance.
By utilizing CEI's Rainscreen Systems, Route and Return Silicone Joint System, or Weather-Tight Dry Gasket System, clients are able to broaden architectural horizons through appearance, weatherability, fire resistance, sustainability and design flexibility.
Aluminum continues to be the predominant finish while natural materials such as zinc, copper, stainless steel and titanium have been introduced to the industry. Limitless colors and finishes are able to be applied to aluminum and steel composite panels while the alternative metals mentioned are often used for the beauty of their natural finishes.
CEI has four systems for the design and installation of MCM, the R3000, R4000, W5000 and D6000 series, each system with its own unique characteristics.
