Product catalog summary
About Dri-Design: Dri-Design metal wall panels are designed to overcome issues like delamination and staining found in traditional metal panel systems. They are 100% recyclable, pressure-equalized rain-screens that attach to various substrates without the need for clips or extrusions. The system meets rigorous testing standards, including AAMA 508-07 and Miami Dade County hurricane testing.
Key Advantages: The panels avoid the use of sealants or gaskets, eliminating maintenance problems. They are not laminated, preventing delamination. The system is sustainable, cost-effective, and easy to install.
Environmental Footprint: Dri-Design uses domestic aluminum to reduce transportation energy costs. The panels are made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable. The manufacturing process is efficient, and the panels install quickly, conserving energy. No plastics or VOCs are used, minimizing environmental impact.
Technical Information: The system has a nominal depth of 1 ¼”, primarily using aluminum. The standard material thickness is .080”, with panel joints at ½” nominal. The finish is fluoropolymer with a 20-year warranty, and the weight is under 2 pounds per square foot.
Material Options:
  • Painted Aluminum: Available in any color, offering design flexibility with durable Kynar-based paints that capture and destroy VOCs.
  • Anodized Aluminum: Provides a durable surface with natural color variations.

DRI-DESIGN METAL WALL PANELS Through research and real life experience in the metal panel industry, Dri-Design was invented to solve what were viewed as significant shortfalls of traditional metal panel systems: delamination, staining due to the effects of weather on joints and gaskets, a lack of color and texture options, the rising cost of production and inefficient installation practices. The result of Dri-Design’s meticulous engineering is a 100% recyclable, pressure equalized rain-screen, architectural metal wall system that attaches to nearly any substrate without the use of clips or extrusions....
