CENTRIA, Moon Township, Pa., introduced FormaBond II, a complete metal composite wall system that receives CENTRIA’s hallmark start-to-finish service. The Formabond II system combines the beauty and popularity of an industry standard Metal Composite Panel (MCM) with the leader in metal wall systems. “In today’s building construction industry, building teams demand convenience and performance, all in an aesthetically pleasing package,” said Tom Zombek, Product Manager, CENTRIA. “The FormaBond II panel solution delivers that and more, all backed by CENTRIA’s commitment to customer satisfaction.” For convenience, this new metal composite material panel (MCM) system is installation ready and lightweight; and because of its dry seal construction, there is no costly exterior wet seal maintenance required. The panels feature CENTRIA’s unique horizontal dry seal joinery to minimize water penetration and maximize ventilation. This innovative design improves the integrity of the application by reducing the chance of entrapped moisture behind the rainscreen, which minimizes the potential for material degradation and mold. FormaBond II demonstrated its high performance capabilities under the American Architectural Manufacturer’s Association’s 509-09 test and classification method for drained and back-ventilated rainscreen wall cladding systems. Aesthetically, this smooth panel has a sleek, flat design that offers sharp exterior sight lines with crisp corner transitions or soft flowing curves and is available in a variety of colors and coating systems. Also available with a fire resistant core, the FormaBond II system is the only MCM wall system backed by a nationwide sales force, Dealer/installer network and expert design and engineering support. The Formabond II solution unites value and convenience with high performance and outstanding customer service.
