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.
