Metal facade panels: Advantages and disadvantages
The main material for the manufacture of metal panels is galvanized steel and aluminum. Such panels can be smooth and perforated. As a coating that performs protective and decorative functions, polyester is most often used.
The main advantages of metal panels are moisture resistance, resistance to temperature extremes, chemical resistance and resistance against mechanical damage, which makes the material quite durable.
The disadvantages include poor thermal insulation of the maternal and the need to use preferential elements during installation, which increases the cost of work.
