Modular Metal Panels

CEI Materials offers modular metal panels through its CLADLOK™ panel system, a pressure-equalized cassette-style rainscreen designed to bring speed, flexibility, and modern architectural impact to exterior facades. Built for efficient installation across a wide range of substrates and subgirt systems, CLADLOK modular metal panels help teams balance performance goals with visual design freedom.

What Are Modular Metal Panels?

Modular metal panels are prefabricated facade components designed for coordinated installation as part of an exterior wall assembly. Compared with more traditional field-built approaches, modular metal panels can help simplify sequencing, improve consistency, and support cleaner facade execution on projects that demand both speed and design precision.

Benefits of Modular Metal Panels

CLADLOK modular metal panels are designed to support the practical needs of architects, fabricators, and installers. The system combines a prefabricated rainscreen approach with durable, architecturally driven panel options that work across a range of commercial and institutional applications.

  • Pressure-equalized cassette-style rainscreen construction
  • Interlocking edges for streamlined installation
  • Architecturally striking facade appearance
  • Non-combustible panel options
  • 20-year finish warranty on painted options
  • 100% recyclable materials
  • Compatible with continuous insulation
  • Made in the USA

Modular Panel Options for Different Design Goals

One of the strongest advantages of CLADLOK is its range of panel expressions. The Value Series provides a clean, economical flat-panel solution. The Signature Series introduces flat, dimensional, and tapered profiles for projects that want more facade depth and variation. The Custom Series allows for fully tailored solutions, including custom fabrication, embossed surfaces, and perforated panels for more specialized design intent.

Built for Prefabrication and Field Efficiency

CLADLOK modular metal panels are designed to reduce installation complexity while supporting high-quality facade execution. At the Southeast Michigan Psychiatric Hospital, CEI Materials supplied approximately 35,000 square feet of CLADLOK panels, demonstrating how modular panel systems can support major projects where schedule, coordination, and facade performance all matter.

Why Work with CEI Materials?

CEI Materials supports modular metal panel projects with design-assist, fabrication expertise, and 3D laser scanning integrated into BIM. By involving CEI early, project teams can improve coordination between design intent, field conditions, and fabrication strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Modular Metal Panels

Are modular metal panels the same as modular facade panels?

They are closely related terms. In practice, modular metal panels are used as prefabricated facade components within a broader modular facade system.

Can modular metal panels support custom design?

Yes. CLADLOK includes value-driven, design-flexible, and custom panel options to support a wide range of facade goals.

Are modular metal panels a good fit for institutional projects?

Yes. Modular metal panels are often a strong fit for commercial and institutional projects where teams want design consistency, installation efficiency, and prefabricated facade advantages.
