Des Plaines, Illinois
A family-owned Centria architectural metal systems specialist, helping architects and contractors across North America get Centria panels right, from selection to delivery.
G&L Associates is a family-owned specialist in Centria architectural metal systems: insulated metal panels, rainscreen, and architectural metal wall panels.
Since 1974, we have helped architects, general contractors, and building owners choose the right Centria system, detail it correctly, price it accurately, and get it to the site on schedule. Over more than a thousand projects and 40 million-plus square feet of metal, we have become one of the most experienced Centria panel resources in North America.
We are the specialist between the design and the build. We make sure the right panels are specified, detailed, priced, procured, and coordinated, so the architect gets the facade the drawings intended and the installing contractor gets a package that goes up clean. Manufactured by Centria. Delivered by G&L.

Years of combined team experience
We help you choose the right Centria system for the facade and provide accurate, early budget pricing in the concept phase, so the design and the number line up from the start.
Our in-house detailers prepare and coordinate shop and fabrication drawings with Centria, resolving the envelope details, joints, and transitions before anything is fabricated.
We work with licensed structural engineers to confirm supports and connections meet the design wind loads for the panels we provide, and supply stamped calculations when required.
When budgets tighten, we suggest alternative products and configurations that hold the architect’s original design intent while bringing the cost back in line.
The panels are only as good as the buildings they help realize. G&L Associates has supplied and detailed the Centria architectural metal systems on nationally recognized, award-winning projects, work credited by the architects who designed it and by Centria itself.
We serve projects across North America, with a proven base concentrated in the Midwest: Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, the Dakotas, and Upper Michigan.
