Benefits of Using MCM Panels

For years, North American construction companies have taken advantage of the numerous benefits of MCM panels.

  • Lightweight: Significantly lighter than traditional building materials, such as solid metal sheets and stone. Buildings benefit by having a lighter weight and easier construction process.
  • Durability: Metal composite material panels are long-lasting and low maintenance. They are highly resistant to weather conditions and corrosion. Not only will this protect the structure, but it will also keep the structure looking brand new for a long time.
  • Aesthetics: There are a lot of different colors, textures, designs, and finishes available for MCM panels. They can be fabricated into many different shapes and sizes as well. With so many options available for architects, they have many unique design choices available for the appearance of their structure.
  • Energy Efficient: Metal composite material panel systems can act as insulators, meaning your building will need less heating and cooling. Not only will this conserve energy, but it will also lower your electricity costs, saving you money.
  • Easy Installation: MCM panels are easier to install because they are lightweight and pre-fabricated. These traits will save time and labor costs during construction.

In addition to those benefits, MCM panels can be made from recycled content, making them environmentally friendly. With so many advantages, it's easy to see why they have become prevalent.

History of MCM Panels

Created in Europe in 1969, aluminum composite material (ACM) is the earliest version of metal composite material (MCM) and is still common today. The product wasn't introduced to North America for another ten years. ACM took off in the United States in the 1990s, which led to a lot of innovation in panel systems.

At this point, several companies developed processes using different metal skin materials such as zinc, copper, stainless steel, and titanium. This led to the name change to MCM panel, the common terminology today. NOW Specialties was incorporated right during this rise in the 1990s, providing us with a detailed look into the rise of MCM panels.
