Centria panels, answered.
What are Centria panels?
Centria panels are architectural metal wall and roof systems made by Centria, a Nucor company. The line spans insulated metal panels (IMP) such as Formawall Dimension Series and Versawall, which bond metal faces to a foam-insulated core for a single-component, energy-efficient wall, and single-skin, exposed-fastener profiles such as Style-Rib and Econolap. G&L Associates specifies, details, and estimates them for architects and contractors.
What is the difference between insulated metal panels and exposed-fastener panels?
Insulated metal panels (IMP) like Formawall Dimension Series and Versawall combine an inner and outer metal face around a foam-insulated core, delivering the air, water, and thermal barrier in one factory-built component. Exposed-fastener panels like Style-Rib, Super-Rib, and Econolap are single-skin profiles fastened through the face, often used as rainscreen or accent cladding over a separate barrier wall.
What does G&L Associates do with Centria panels?
G&L Associates is a Centria architectural metal systems specialist. We carry the Centria package from product selection and budgeting through shop detailing, procurement, and project coordination, so architects and general contractors have a single accountable source for the panels. Manufactured by Centria, delivered by G&L.
Where does G&L Associates provide Centria panels?
G&L is based in Des Plaines, Illinois and works across North America. Our deepest project base is the Midwest, including Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, the Dakotas, and Upper Michigan, and we support Centria panel projects beyond it.
How much do Centria panels cost?
Cost depends on the system and profile, insulation thickness and R-value, finish and color, panel size, and the complexity of the wall, openings, and detailing. Because those variables move the number significantly, G&L provides real budget pricing and estimates from your drawings rather than a single one-size figure. Contact us for a project estimate.
Which Centria systems does G&L Associates work with?
We work across the Centria catalog, including Formawall Dimension Series and Graphix Series, Versawall, Intercept rainscreen, and MetalWrap, plus single-skin profiles such as Style-Rib, Super-Rib, Econolap, Concept Series, and SDP. If you are comparing systems for a project, we help you select the right one and detail it correctly.
