A WALL PANEL is single piece of material, usually flat and cut into a
rectangular shape, that serves as the visible and exposed covering for a
wall. Wall panels are functional as well as decorative, providing insulation
and soundproofing, combined with uniformity of appearance, along with
some measure of durability or ease of replacement.

• Comprehensive panelized wall construction system • Continuous EIFS insulation

• Factory material application • Wide variety of panelized wall finishing options
• Indoor wall panel manufacturing • Components work in flexible panelized wall combinations
• Pre-assembled panelized walls • Wall panels are tested and code recognized
• Lightweight panelized walls • Walls contain dual seal panelized construction technology
• Air barrier and secondary water barrier standard in all wall panel
styles
