Metal composite material (MCM) paneling is a popular choice for architects and general contractors throughout New York. Constructed by tightly bonding two metal sheets to a thermoplastic core, MCMs are highly durable and ideal for numerous types of exterior and interior architectural installations.
Composite Metals
The Advantages of MCM
The MCM manufacturing process produces a stable and finely balanced panel, providing a flush, sleek design. Additionally, MCM paneling can be custom-finished to achieve your desired aesthetic. MCM sheets are available in various types of metals and alloys, including:
- Aluminum (also known as aluminum composite metal or ACM)
- Zinc
- Copper
- Stainless steel
- Titanium
Eco-Friendly
Many MCMs are comprised of large quantities of high-quality recycled metals. Because of this, certain MCMs score highly on the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system.
Versatility
MCMs are easily bent or curved, making them optimal for architectural applications of all shapes and dimensions. Composite metal is also an excellent option for beam wraps and column covers. At Castle Architectural Metals, our CNC capabilities give you access to all the advantages MCMs offer.
Additional MCM Advantages
MCM architectural paneling is lightweight, sturdy, cost-efficient, and easy to install. MCMs also possess fire retardant properties and can be implemented in retrofitting projects.
