What is Formawall?
CENTRIA Formawall is an insulated panelized exterior metal wall system available in two styles -
Formawall Dimension Series is available in flat and profiled configurations in a variety of finishes, materials and gauges
Formawall Graphix Series is our latest flat panel product that permits a multiple panel design appearance with only one panel and permitting running bond patterns and smaller panel designs with simplified erection and less cost.
The Formawall family of products is the very first exterior building product to receive Cradle to Cradle certification.
The face side and back side of each panel is made of steel.
To make Formawall panels, CFC-free liquid foam is injected between these steel sheets where it expands and hardens to create an amazingly strong, yet lightweight insulated wall panel.
Formawall panels are installed directly over a building’s stud system – either horizontally or vertically - to create a finished, insulated exterior wall.
Unlike, other walls that rely on sealants to prevent water penetration, Formawall’s patented rainscreen, vented and pressure-equalized joinery relies on physics.
