Metal Composite Material

Metal composite panels deliver a clean and elegant aesthetic while acting as a rainscreen or barrier wall. These panels can be produced in two different manners, each affecting performance and applicability. This course reviews metal composite panels, their methods of manufacture, performance capabilities, and methods of installation.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Define MCM and describe its function in a building envelope.
• Compare MCM types and their component parts with regard to fire and water resistance, durability, and design flexibility.
• Design MCM cladding as either a barrier wall or a rainscreen wall that effectively eliminates bulk water from the building interior.
• Recall code-required standards related to fire performance and water resistance and environmental performance options.
• Detail a shop-fabricated or field-assembled panel system that delivers both appropriate fastener pull-out resistance and water resistance.
• Recall the aesthetic capabilities of MCM, including shape, pattern, paint finish, and joint options.
