What metal wall panels do we make?
Two families, plus the parts around them. Formed sheet-metal panels come in six AMP profiles, and flat aluminum composite panels are routed and folded into trays. Column covers, perforated panels and seamless siding round out the wall.
Concealed-fastener panels
The AMP Wave 16-4 and AMP Wave 12-3 hide every screw under the next panel for a clean, architectural face.
Ribbed exposed-fastener panels
The AMP 7.2 Rib and AMP PBR panel fasten through the face, span well and work on walls or roofs.
Corrugated panels
Two classic wave profiles, 1/2 inch and 7/8 inch deep. Our corrugated metal wall panels page compares them.
Aluminum composite panels
Flat aluminum composite panels routed into trays for storefronts, fascias, canopies and entrances.
Column covers and perforated panels
Round or square column covers, and perforated metal panels for screens, soffits and railing infill.
Seamless metal siding
Woodgrain-embossed seamless metal siding, roll-formed to the full length of each wall.
Our owner brings 26+ years in the metal trades to every order. The company has made metal parts since 2000, and in New Jersey since 2018.
How do the AMP wall panel profiles compare?
They differ in fastening, depth and coverage. The table lists the dimensions from our AMP data sheets, so you can match a profile to the wall before you ask for a quote.
| Profile | Fastening | Depth | Coverage | Metals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMP Wave 16-4 | Concealed | 7/8″ | 16″ (four ribs, 4″ module) | 24 ga Galvalume, PVDF; 22 ga or .032″/.040″ aluminum on request |
| AMP Wave 12-3 | Concealed | 7/8″ | 12″ (three ribs, 4″ module) | Same as Wave 16-4 |
| AMP 7.2 Rib | Exposed | 1-1/2″ ribs at 7.2″ on center | 36″ (38.875″ overall) | 24 or 22 ga steel; .032″/.040″ aluminum |
| AMP PBR | Exposed | 1-1/4″ | 36″ (39″ overall) | 24 or 22 ga steel; 26 ga for agricultural use on request |
| AMP 2.67″ x 1/2″ corrugated | Exposed | 1/2″, 2.67″ pitch | 40″ wall, 37.334″ roof (41.25″ overall) | 24 or 22 ga steel |
| AMP 2.67″ x 7/8″ corrugated | Exposed | 7/8″, 2.67″ pitch | 34.67″ wall, 32″ roof (36″ overall) | 24 or 22 ga steel; .032″/.040″ aluminum |
Concealed fastener: Wave 16-4 and Wave 12-3
Both are 7/8 inch deep and run horizontally or vertically. The installer screws each panel along one edge, and the next panel covers those screws. The 16-inch Wave 16-4 suits long, open walls. The 12-inch Wave 12-3 lines up more easily with windows and doors on busy elevations.
Exposed fastener: 7.2 Rib and PBR
Both cover 36 inches per panel and fasten through the face. The 7.2 Rib is symmetrical, with 1-1/2 inch ribs, and works on walls or roofs in either direction. The PBR panel has a purlin-bearing leg at the side lap and runs on our PBR roll former. Barns and pole buildings often use the AG panel instead; see barn and pole-building panels.
Corrugated: 1/2 inch or 7/8 inch
The 2.67″ x 1/2″ profile is the classic corrugated look. The 2.67″ x 7/8″ profile is deeper, with heavier shadow lines and higher load capacity, and it also comes in aluminum.
When is ACM the better choice?
Choose ACM when the design calls for flat, monolithic panels with sharp reveals. It costs more than formed steel, so most buildings use it where people look closest: entries, storefront bands, canopy fascias and columns.
We rout and fold ACM trays on our 24′ x 7′ CNC router table to approved shop drawings. ACM lead time is 2-8 weeks, depending on the color. Fire-code questions, such as NFPA 285 and core types, are covered on our ACM panel page.
Column covers, perforated panels and seamless siding
These three products finish the wall around the main cladding. Each has its own page with the details to send for a quote.
Column covers
Round and square covers wrap structural columns at entrances, lobbies and walkways. We make them from ACM or formed aluminum or steel, usually in two pieces that close around the column. See metal column covers.
Perforated metal panels
We cut, fold and form perforated sheet that arrives pre-perforated from the mill. The designer picks the hole pattern and open area from what the material supplier stocks. See perforated panels.
Seamless metal siding
Woodgrain-embossed steel or aluminum lap siding, roll-formed in our shop to the full length of each wall, so a run has no lap joints. See seamless siding.
Which metal and finish should you choose?
For most inland walls, 24 or 22 gauge Galvalume steel with a PVDF finish is the usual pick. Aluminum (.032″ or .040″) is lighter and does not rust, which suits sites near salt water.
Painted finishes come in two types. PVDF (Kynar 500 type) is the premium finish; SMP (silicone-modified polyester) costs less. MBCI, for one, describes its 70% PVDF finish as built for color retention and its SMP finish as its most economical choice.
We fabricate from coil by Englert, Fabral, ATAS, UCP and SAF. There is no minimum order; custom (non-stock) colors carry a minimum quantity.
Near the ocean or the bays, many Galvalume warranties exclude the site, so read our guide to metal near the Jersey Shore before you choose steel. Finish warranties come from the coil maker; our warranties page explains how they work.
What should your installer plan for?
Your installer fastens the panels to a structural layer and puts a weather-resistive barrier behind them. The panels shed most of the water; the barrier and flashings handle the rest.
- Girts: horizontal steel members on metal buildings. Girt spacing and panel strength must match.
- Furring: hat channels or Z members over sheathing or masonry. They flatten an uneven wall and leave a drainage gap.
- Rainscreen cavity: a drained, vented space behind the panels, so water that passes a joint drains out at the base.
- Trim at every edge: base, corners, jambs, heads, sills and top trim, bent in our shop as custom trim.
Wind sets the fastener pattern. New Jersey has no single statewide wind value, so the designer uses site-specific values for the address, and the installer follows the fastener spacing for those pressures. Field dimensions are the installer’s responsibility. Our guide explains why metal wall panels need a professional installer.
Can metal panels reclad an older building?
Yes. A new metal skin suits the many New Jersey commercial buildings faced in block, brick or aging stucco, and the building can often stay open while the work goes on.
Your installer sets furring over the old wall, corrects the weather barrier and flashings, then hangs the panels. We fabricate the panels, the trim for windows and storefronts, and metal coping for the roof edge as one order. On buildings other than one- and two-family homes, the state code treats like-for-like siding replacement as ordinary maintenance only up to 25 percent of the wall area, so your installer should check permits early.

What goes on a wall panel order?
A complete order names the profile, metal, gauge, finish and color, plus every panel length and quantity. Add the trims by name and length, and say whether you want delivery or pickup.
- Profile and direction: for example AMP Wave 16-4, run horizontally.
- Metal and finish: Galvalume steel or aluminum, the gauge, PVDF or SMP, and the color name.
- Cut list: each panel length and count, taken by your installer from the building or the approved drawings.
- Trims: base, corners, jambs, heads, sills and top trim, with lengths and quantities.
- Delivery address or pickup: long panels may affect the delivery, so note your longest length.
Not sure about a trim shape? Send a sketch with dimensions, and we confirm it before we bend it.
Do metal wall panels work on homes?
Yes. Modern homes use metal wall panels on full elevations, garages, stair towers and accent walls next to wood or stone. Wave and corrugated profiles are the usual picks, and seamless siding suits a traditional lap look.
Homeowners skip the bid paperwork. Your installer takes the measurements, you pick a color, and we send a written quote for the panels and trim. Your installer puts them on the house.
Metal wall panel questions
What is the difference between ACM and a metal wall panel?
ACM is one kind of metal wall panel. It is a flat sheet of two thin aluminum skins bonded to a core, routed and folded into trays. Formed panels are single sheets of painted steel or aluminum shaped into a wave, rib or corrugation.
Which wall panel profiles do you make?
Six AMP profiles. Concealed fastener: Wave 16-4 and Wave 12-3. Ribbed exposed fastener: 7.2 Rib and PBR. Corrugated: 2.67″ x 1/2″ and 2.67″ x 7/8″. We also make ACM trays, column covers, perforated panels and seamless siding.
How fast do I get a quote?
