Definitions for the Supply and Installation of MCM
Metal Composite Material (MCM) has been a key element in exterior wall cladding construction since the early 1980’s, yet many of the common industry terms are not well known across the design and code enforcement community. Many of these “common” terms identify important responsibilities in the use of MCM systems. A proper understanding will provide the reader with important information that could save time and cost related to the purchase, fabrication, and installation of MCM cladding systems.
