Metal Wall Panel Submittals and Spec Sheets for New Jersey Projects
Metal wall panel submittals from Architectural Metal Panels put the product data, color chart, shop drawings and trim details for the panels we fabricate into one package for the architect’s review. Use the submittal form on this page to tell us the project, the documents you need and your due date.

What is in a metal wall panel submittal package?
Product data, a color chart, shop drawings and trim details, plus the coil maker’s finish warranty document when the specification asks for it. Together they show the architect what we will fabricate, from which metal and finish, and how each piece meets the building.
| Document | What it shows | When you usually get it |
|---|---|---|
| Product data | Profile, coverage, depth, metal, gauges or thicknesses, and finish system | During bidding if the spec asks for it, otherwise at submittal |
| Color chart | Standard colors for the finish system, PVDF or SMP | During design or bidding |
| Finish warranty document | The coil maker’s terms for the paint finish | At submittal, when the specification calls for it |
| Shop drawings | Elevations with each panel laid out, joints, reveals, fastener or clip locations and trim profiles | After the order is placed, before fabrication |
| Trim and transition details | Base of wall, heads, sills, jambs, corners, parapets and transitions to roofing or storefront, drawn as we will form them | With the shop drawings |
Where are the AMP profile dimensions published?
On each profile’s own page. The table gives coverage and depth at a glance, and each profile page lists the full dimensions, metals and gauges that go into its product data.
| Profile | Coverage | Depth |
|---|---|---|
| AMP Wave 16-4 | 16″ | 7/8″ |
| AMP Wave 12-3 | 12″ | 7/8″ |
| AMP 7.2 Rib | 36″ | 1-1/2″ ribs at 7.2″ on center |
| AMP PBR | 36″ | 1-1/4″ |
| AMP 2.67″ x 1/2″ corrugated | 37.334″ roof, 40″ wall | 1/2″ |
| AMP 2.67″ x 7/8″ corrugated | 32″ roof, 34.67″ wall | 7/8″ |
Gauges and metals differ by profile, so each page lists its own. The metal wall panels page shows the whole line, and aluminum composite panels have their own page.
What does each document tell the architect?
Each one answers a different review question: what the product is, what it will look like, how the wall is laid out and how it meets everything around it.
Product data
The data sheet names the profile, coverage, depth, metal and finish system, plus the gauges or thicknesses offered. Our steel panels are Galvalume, and aluminum runs .032 or .040 inch. If the specification asks for a value the sheet does not show, name it in your request.
Color chart
The chart shows the standard colors for the finish under review, either PVDF (Kynar 500 type) or SMP. Charts come from the coil makers whose materials we work with: Englert, Fabral, ATAS, UCP and SAF. MBCI, for example, describes PVDF as its finish for color retention on high-visibility projects and SMP as its most economical choice. A color outside the standard charts can be made as a custom color, which carries a minimum quantity.
Finish warranty document
Finish warranties come from the coil maker, and the terms vary by maker, finish and color. Including the document lets the owner read the real terms before a color is approved. Our warranties page explains who covers the finish and who covers the installation.
Shop drawings
Shop drawings turn the design into fabrication instructions. They show each elevation with every panel drawn, joint and reveal locations, fastener or clip spacing for the installer, and a profile drawing for each trim piece. They also show where the panels and trim meet the roofing, the storefront and the air barrier.
Trim and transition details
Details cover the hard spots: the base of the wall, window heads and sills, inside and outside corners, parapet tops and transitions to other materials. If a project detail does not suit the panel, we draw an alternative and mark it for review rather than changing it quietly in the shop.
Does the wall assembly need fire test data?
Sometimes. When a wall falls under the building code’s NFPA 285 rules, the submittal has to document a tested wall assembly, not just a panel. Our aluminum composite panels page explains when NFPA 285 applies.
Put the construction type and the wall build-up in your request, so the package answers the right question.
How do you request a submittal package?
Use the submittal form below. It asks for the project, the documents you need and your due date.
- Name the project and its town. In the notes, list the profile, metal, finish and spec section for each item.
- Tick the documents you need: product data, shop drawings, finish and color information, or the coil maker’s finish warranty documents.
- Give the date you need the submittal, and attach the spec section or drawings if you have them.
- Need a price as well? Upload the plans on our send plans for a quote page, and a written quote follows within 24-48 hours.
Product data and color charts can go out during design or bidding. Shop drawings follow the order, because they depend on final drawings and on field dimensions from your installer. Our page for contractors and builders explains how we work with project teams.
Where can I get spec sheets and product data?
Request them with the submittal form on this page. Product data, color charts and details for the items on your project go out together as one package.
Data sheets, CAD details and specifications for every profile are sent on request. Use the submittal form on this page and tell us the product and project.
What happens after the architect reviews the submittal?
Approved drawings become the fabrication record, and comments go into a revised set. We cut and form only from drawings marked approved or approved as noted.
If the stamp says revise and resubmit, we make the changes and send the package back through the general contractor. After approval, your installer sends field dimensions of the finished substrate. We check final lengths and trim sizes against the approved drawings before anything is cut.
How long does fabrication take after approval?
- Standing seam panels: typically 1-2 days.
- Coping and trim: typically 1-2 days, depending on color and gauge.
- ACM panels: 2-8 weeks, depending on color.
- Anything else: the lead time is on your quote.
Finished orders are delivered within about a 5-hour drive of our New Brunswick shop, or picked up at the shop. Our shop capabilities page explains how an order moves from drawing to delivery or pickup.
Submittal FAQ
Questions about submittals and spec sheets
Can I get submittals before the project is awarded?
Yes for product data, color charts and finish warranty documents. Shop drawings depend on final drawings, so they are prepared once the order is placed, and final lengths are checked against your installer’s field dimensions.
Do your submittals include fire test data?
Tell us what your specification requires. We include what exists for the specific panel or system, or tell you plainly if a document does not exist for that product.
Which products can I get submittals for?
Our AMP wall panel profiles, aluminum composite panels, corrugated and PBR panels, standing seam roof panels, coping, flashing, trim and box gutter liners. Name the items on the submittal form.
Where do I find the AMP profile dimensions?
On each profile page: AMP Wave 16-4, AMP Wave 12-3, AMP 7.2 Rib, AMP PBR and the two AMP corrugated profiles. The same numbers go into the product data in your package.
Can you match a color the architect already chose?
Often. Send the color name and the coil maker, and we check it against the finishes we work with. A color outside the standard charts can be made as a custom color, which carries a minimum quantity.
Who approves the shop drawings?
The architect or engineer of record reviews them, usually through the general contractor. We revise and resubmit until the drawings come back approved, and only then start fabrication.
How soon are parts made after approval?
Standing seam panels, coping and trim typically take 1-2 days, depending on color and gauge. ACM panels take 2-8 weeks, depending on color. Other items carry the lead time stated on your quote.
