What Are MCM Panels?

MCM panels are durable and low-maintenance cladding solutions. These metal composite materials are produced by sandwiching a lightweight thermoplastic core between two thin sheets of metal. MCM panels are available in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, finishes, and colors.

CEI Materials provides complete building envelope solutions from coast to coast. To learn more about our architectural paneling specialties, contact a representative near you.

    R3000 Series: Pressure Equalized Rainscreen System


    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.

    System Characteristics:
    • Pressure equalized rainscreen
    • Joint width of 1/2 & 3/4”
    • Independent 4mm MCM spline joint
    • Low maintenance; lets the wall breathe
    • Available with MCM or aluminum plate
    Systems Tested To:
    • ASTM E 283
    • ASTM E 330
    • ASTM E331
    • AAMA 501.1
    • AAMA 508
