The benefits of prefabricated metal panels

Prefabricated metal panels are building components for the floors, walls and roofs of residential and light commercial buildings. Pre-cut metal studs are assembled into panels, which can then be finished with different cladding materials. The panels are made in a factory and designed for each project.

Making panels in a factory means less labour on site, which lowers labour cost and shortens the build. It also cuts waste. Components are measured and cut under controlled conditions, so they fit, and quality is easier to check.

Panels made from cold-formed steel are strong and stiff for their weight, so a durable structure does not need excess material. Steel framing does not warp or shrink, and insects do not damage it, so the structure lasts longer and needs less maintenance.

Factory production wastes less material, and cold-formed steel framing can be recycled.

The panels can be made in many sizes, shapes and configurations, so they fit different architectural styles and project requirements.
