MCM Panel Fabrication Systems

With fabrication capabilities at our facilities in Michigan and Utah, we are capable of producing well over a million square feet of architectural panel systems per year.

Every CEI Materials product meets or exceeds construction and performance benchmarks so that any project will be of unquestionable quality. This is evidenced by the receipt of fabrication certification through our manufacturing partners Arconic Reynobond®, 3A Composites Alucobond®, Mitsubishi Alpolic®, and TRESPA®.

At CEI Materials, we can advise the architect on how selected products can be attached to a building exterior. In addition to these visual capabilities, we help you choose materials and systems based upon code compliance, cost efficiencies, availability, sustainability, and the total wall assembly. The total wall assembly is a particularly important component when multiple surfaces are specified. 

Our staff is specially trained to stay up-to-date with the latest building codes, trends and software. This is important for architects seeking a design assistant with compatible software and the ability to create customized panel and high performance rainscreen systems. Our sophisticated system technologies help determine the precise panel dimensions, virtually eliminating human error on a building exterior.

CEI Materials also possesses in-house engineering capabilities and has an extensive knowledge of code compliance and adherence. Our in-house personnel can create models and determine the best solutions for architects seeking compliant or sustainable solutions.

At CEI Materials, it is paramount that our cladding systems meet and/or exceed all of the project specific requirements for performance adherence to local & International Building Code standards. Depending on the system chosen, we will clearly identify what tests and procedures were completed internally and what were completed with third party assistance.

MCM Metal Panel Fabrication FAQs

What is MCM paneling?
Metal Composite Material (MCM) paneling consists of two thin metal sheets bonded to a non-metal core, creating a lightweight, durable, and aesthetically versatile cladding solution for building exteriors.
What is the difference between MCM and ACM panels?
Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) panels are a subset of MCM panels, specifically using aluminum as the metal skin. In contrast, MCM panels can feature various metals such as copper, zinc, stainless steel, or titanium, offering a broader range of aesthetic and performance options.
What are the advantages of using Metal Composite Material (MCM) panels?
MCM panels offer corrosion resistance, lightweight durability, exceptional flatness, formability, and a wide range of color options, making them ideal for modern architectural designs.
What is the typical lead time for MCM panel fabrication?
Lead times can vary based on project complexity and size. We strive to deliver results on time and within budget, and specific timelines can be discussed during the project planning phase.
Does CEI Materials offer customization options for MCM panels?
Yes, we provide custom architectural metal panels designed and manufactured to meet specific project requirements, including various finishes, colors, and textures.
What maintenance is required for MCM panels?
MCM panels are durable and low-maintenance. Regular cleaning with appropriate solutions is recommended to maintain their appearance and longevity.
Are CEI Materials' MCM panels environmentally friendly?
Our MCM panels are designed with sustainability in mind, utilizing recyclable materials and processes that minimize environmental impact.
Can MCM panels be used in both new construction and retrofit projects?
Yes, MCM panels are suitable for both new constructions and retrofitting existing structures, offering flexibility in design and application.
What types of finishes are available for MCM panels?
We offer a variety of finishes, including anodized, painted, and natural metal finishes, allowing for a wide range of aesthetic options.
How does CEI Materials handle quality assurance for MCM panels?
Our in-house engineering and thorough quality assurance processes ensure that every cladding system is up to code and meets the highest standards of quality.
