3. PRODuCT DESCRIPTION

Basic Uses:

Metafor and Arc-Metafor panels with the Wind­Lok™ application have a ribbed appearance
with a concealed clipless fastening system.
Lightweight, but strong, installation does
not require additional structural changes.
The panels can be applied directly to wood
or metal framing. These panels are typically
used for siding, ceilings, fascias, mansards,
equipment screens, walkways, balconies,
entrances and vestibules. Arc-Metafor panels
are custom formed to either concave or
convex shapes and may be applied directly
to the framing without the need for sub­sheathing.

Composition & Materials:

Metafor panels (MFP120) are roll-formed from
.032, .040 or .050 Aluminum. Arc-Metafor
panels (Convex-MFX120 and Concave­MFV120) are available in .032 Aluminum only.

Sizes and Proles:

Panel widths are 12”; panel depth is a nominal
⁄”. Arc-Metafor panels have a minimum
convex radius of 5’-9” and a minimum concave
radius of 10’-0”. When calculating panel length
for ARC- Metafor, allow for an 9” deection
each end of the panel (18” total). Panel
lengths are custom specied from 1’-6” to
transportation limitations.

Colors & Finishes:

A choice of 30 colors is available in aKYNAR
500® PVDF or HYLAR 5000® PVDF nish.
(Request color chart or chips). An anodized
nish is available in clear or dark bronze.
Texture may be smooth or stucco embossed.
