Citadel Architectural Products
Citadel Architectural Products’ Envelope 2000 MCM is composed of a prefinished, smooth aluminum face skin, thermoset phenolic resin core and primed, smooth aluminum backer. Four attachment systems are available: reveal (RV), deep-reveal (D-RV), rout and return (RR), and rainscreen (RS). The RV and D-RV are assembled in the field; RR and RS are shop fabricated. The RV is a barrier wall and uses batten or reveal molding profiles. The D-RV is a cavity wall type system with standard 1/2-inch or variable width joints. The RR is a barrier system with joints finished with matching or contrasting color sealant. The RS is a dry-joint system with standard 1/2-inch or variable width joints.
Coated Metals Group
Coated Metals Group’s System 2000 is a pressure-equalized, rear-ventilated rainscreen system with MCM panels. The dry-joint panel system features a joint design that eliminates all exposed fasteners, resulting in clean looking panel joints. The panels are sequentially installed with an extruded aluminum attachment system, and there are no exposed fasteners. System 2000 is tested to meet ASTM E283, ASTM E330, ASTM E331 and AAMA 508.
Rollfab Metal Products
Rollfab Metal Products’ Alumakor MCM comes 4-mm or 6-mm thick. It is produced by laminating two sheets (typically aluminum) over a 3-mm or 5-mm thick solid core of fire-rated, thermoplastic mineral material, continuously formed. Alumakor MCM is fabricated with an extrusion system without exposed fasteners, and can be used in dry joint or wet seal installation. It comes in multiple coil-coated Kynar 500 PVDF colors, and has a 20-year finish warranty.
