Preformed, or roll-formed, single skin metal panels offer benefits like protective coatings, low installation cost, design freedom, and functionality. Through various improvements to the manufacturing process, single skin metal panels offer a wide range of custom or standard colors, texture, shape, and profile options. They are composed of various metals including aluminum, copper, zinc, terne-coated metal, and brass, as well as stainless, galvanized, and galvalume steel. They are an excellent combination of performance, aesthetic appeal, cost efficiency, and versatility. Single skin panels are typically lower in cost but do require profile bends for stiffening to minimize oil canning and deflection, whereas plate and MCM panel systems are a more rigid, heavy material less prone to these issues.
