Dri-Design was not created by a large panel manufacturer as a way to grab more market share, but rather by a single small business as a way to address significant shortfalls we saw in the metal panel systems we had been using for decades. A system invented from research and development based on real life experience of over 30 years, selling and installing many other systems. Our timeline also provided a history long enough to watch and see how the existing systems aged and performed, long term. During that time, experiences with other panel systems included delamination, staining due to the effects...

The result of our meticulous engineering was a type of metal wall panel system that had not existed previously. It was, and 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. It is not laminated, nor a composite material, so panels will never delaminate. It doesn’t require joint sealants, gaskets, or butyl tape, and therefore eliminates the staining and maintenance associated with them. It is manufactured efficiently and installs faster than any comparable product, saving time and...
