Aluminum cladding panels offer the flatness and stiffness of MCM panels but with the durability, weather resistance, dent resistance, and recyclability of sheet metal. Aluminum plate panels are available in conjunction with the following CEI Materials attachment systems: R3000, R4000, W5000, E1000, CL100, CL200, CL300
CEI Materials offers 1/8" -- 1/4" thick aluminum that can be fashioned into complex shapes for an attractive and creative appearance. Their flatness and stiffness guarantee high wind resistance and can be installed using screws, rivets or hidden fixation systems. These panels can be easily and finely bent or milled with sharp edges and thin angles. The capability of panel bending allows for the creation of rounded corners and various shapes, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and functionality. They are ideal for enhanced stability and use in large cassette and panel applications.
Mold prevention and corrosion prevention are essential to prolonging your structure's lifespan. Fortunately, CEI Materials' R3000 Pressure Equalized Rainscreen System avoids trapping moisture by leaving some or all of the joints open to the passage of air but not of water. This cladding solution equalizes air pressure on the external and internal sides of a compartmentalized panel system.
CEI Materials' performance tested & approved R4000 drained/rear-ventilated rainscreen panel systems offer rainscreen technology with varying joint widths as well as a variety of color options to fit your brand identity. This system controls rainwater and helps to vent and dry walls by draining off most of the rainwater at the outermost surface of the wall and providing for cavity drainage and evaporation of the remainder.
CEI Materials' W5000 Route & Return Silicone Joint Panel Systems offer a weather-tight economical assembly utilizing a closed cell backer rod, structural silicone joint, and hidden fasteners. This non-progressive design offers installation versatility to meet a variety of construction needs.
CEI Materials E1000 Exposed Fastener Attachment Systems are cost-effective while still boosting the aesthetic appeal of your architecture.
Our CL100 Wet Joint is used when columns require a horizontal reveal. This column type looks great with our W5000 panel system.
Our CL200 Hairline joint is a great way to create a seamless look on your columns.
The CL300 Dry Joint has a clean finish and looks great with our R3000 or R4000 panel systems.
Aluminum plate panel systems offer numerous benefits, making them an ideal choice for various applications. One of the primary advantages is their durability, which ensures a long-lasting and low-maintenance solution. These panels are extremely durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, they are resistant to rotting, splitting, splintering, mold, and mildew, making them perfect for exterior applications.
Another benefit of aluminum plate panel systems is their design flexibility. They can be customized with various colors, shapes, and sizes to suit specific design requirements. The panels can also be perforated or have round holes to create a unique aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, they are easy to install, and their lightweight nature makes them an ideal choice for large projects. This combination of durability, low maintenance, and design versatility makes aluminum plate panel systems a preferred option for architects and builders alike.
There are various types of aluminum plate panel systems available, each with its unique characteristics and benefits. One of the most common types is the composite panel, which consists of an aluminum plate bonded to a core material. This type of panel is extremely durable and offers excellent thermal insulation, making it suitable for both exterior and interior applications.
Another type of aluminum plate panel system is the solid aluminum plate, which is made from a single piece of aluminum. This type of panel is ideal for interior design applications, as it offers a sleek and modern look. Additionally, there are aluminum plate panel systems with a stainless steel substrate, which provides excellent corrosion resistance and is perfect for environments exposed to moisture or chemicals. Each type of aluminum plate panel system offers unique benefits, allowing for a wide range of design and application possibilities.
Aluminum plate panel systems offer several sustainability and environmental benefits. One of the primary advantages is their recyclability, as aluminum is a highly recyclable material. Additionally, the panels are made from a large percentage of recycled materials, reducing the need for virgin resources and minimizing environmental impact.
Furthermore, aluminum plate panel systems are energy-efficient, as they can be designed to accommodate expansion and contraction. This reduces the need for additional materials and minimizes waste. The panels are also resistant to extreme weather conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacements and repairs. By choosing aluminum plate panel systems, builders and architects can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly construction process.
Aluminum plate panel systems have a wide range of applications and uses. One of the most common uses is for exterior cladding, as they offer excellent durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions. Additionally, they are also used for interior design applications, such as wall cladding and ceiling systems, providing a modern and sleek appearance.
The panels are also used for various industrial applications, such as enclosures, ventilation systems, and filters. Furthermore, they are utilized in the manufacture of furniture, fixtures, and displays. The versatility of aluminum plate panel systems makes them an ideal choice for a wide range of projects, from commercial buildings to residential homes and industrial facilities. Their combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and adaptability ensures they meet the diverse needs of architects and builders.
Since 2008, CEI has strived to exceed all of our customers' expectations on every project. With fabrication capabilities at our facilities in Michigan and Utah, we can produce well over a million square feet of architectural panel systems per year. Over the last decade, we have been committed to becoming the foremost provider of architectural faades. We specialize in retail, commercial, and corporate identity solutions.
The exterior cladding market is competitive, requiring fabricators to offer a variety of potential options for a faade. Each product should be tested, proven and offer a unique aesthetic quality. At CEI Materials we offer the architectural community metal composite panels, plate panels, modular panel systems, high pressure laminate (HPL) and modular services.
Plate panels are fabricated out of aluminum. This material can be formed into limitless profile options and is available in numerous colors and finishes. Unlike other metal substrates, plate is 100% recyclable. The material can be perforated, embossed, and fabricated to a degree unparalleled in cladding materials.
More than any one product offering, the modern fabricator has to offer the architectural community innovation. The need to produce better, long-lasting, efficient, beautiful facades will not change, but the way in which we produce those buildings will. It is the job of the fabricator to stay abreast to new product trends in order to offer the architectural community exactly what they demand.
