Apex Series FR-Panel Master

Panel Master Apex Series

Panel Master Apex Series is one of our product series which is produced by composing two smooth 0.5mm thick aluminum (or other metal) sheets to a solid non-combustible or fire-retardant core through a high-temperature process. It is specifically designed to allow architects and designers to use ACM as the preferred material for building façades while meeting the fire performance requirements outlined in the International Building Code (IBC).
