In large-scale construction projects, whether multiresidential, commercial, or institutionnal, the goal is to achieve a façade that has substance and presence, without skyrocketing the cost per square foot.
The MAP-03 is the ideal compromise between the prestige of a thick aluminum architectural panel and the necessity of meeting the budget goal.
Here are the essentials in 4 points.
1. Visual: The “Box-Style” Look and Flexibility
The MAP-03 offers the sought-after robustness but leaves you in charge of the volumetry.
-
- The Standard: The majority of our clients choose this product for its uniform surface. Thanks to the (2 mm or 3.2 mm) aluminum, you get a façade that won’t suffer from deformation over time.
- The Creative Option: Want to energize a section? The system allows you to vary the panel depth from 1″ to 6″. This creates accents or breaks the rhythm without changing products. Furthermore, it offers great layout freedom thanks to its dimensions: rectangular formats up to 55″ x 139″ (1397 mm x 3530 mm) and square formats up to 55″ x 55″ (1397 mm).
2. Technical: Designed for High-Rise Buildings *
Beyond aesthetics, it is a robust choice made of architectural-grade aluminum.
-
- Fire Resistance: The system is NFPA 285 certified.
- Wind Resistance: Tested according to ASTM E330 standards and compliant with the Florida Building Code.
- AAMA 2604-2605 Certified Applicator: Our powder coating expertise guarantees durable finishes and long-term color stability.

3. Profitability: The Pragmatic Choice
The MAP-03 was designed for those mindful of both budget and schedule.
-
- Fast and Flexible Installation: It is a system designed to simplify work on the job site. Although the standard uses exposed fasteners to maximize savings, the concealed fastener option is also available for those desiring a cleaner finish.
- An environmentally conscious choice: Reduction of embodied carbon through the integration of secondary aluminum, VOC-free and hexavalent chronium-free power coating, and virtually infinitely recyclable aluminum.
4. Service: We Don’t Leave You Alone with the Blueprints
