Metal that means business

Metal that means business

Delivering a bold lineup of architectural metal panels that fuse sleek design with structural performance for modern commercial builds.

For architects and builders seeking a polished edge in commercial design, AEP Span’s latest product guide is more than just a catalog — it’s a toolkit for reshaping urban architecture with steel. From subtle facades to standout roofing systems, the company’s range of metal panels speaks directly to modern demands: clean lines, low maintenance and long-term performance.

The guide divides products into two major categories — concealed and exposed fastener panels — each tailored to different performance and aesthetic goals. Concealed fasteners give a smooth, refined appearance, ideal for sleek urban builds. Meanwhile, exposed fastener panels cater to more rugged, industrial applications without sacrificing style.

Among the standout offerings is the Design Span® hp system, a snap-together metal roof panel that skips the need for field seaming, simplifying installation without compromising structural integrity. It’s available in sizes up to 45 feet and includes factory-applied sealant and optional striations for added visual depth.

Also in the spotlight is the Select Seam® panel, which offers both wide and narrow batten options and can be curved for radius applications — a unique feature that expands architectural possibilities. Available in multiple colors and specialty finishes, including Metallic Silver and Sedona Rust, it adds visual texture to otherwise flat facades.

For vertical and horizontal wall applications, the Prestige Series® brings versatile panel options with varied reveals and pencil ribs. It’s a favorite for those wanting a custom, dimensional finish without visual clutter. Meanwhile, the Perception Collection® pushes the envelope with five angular, geometric patterns that allow mix-and-match creativity for designers who want their building exteriors to stand out.

AEP Span isn’t just leaning on looks. The company backs its panels with an optional, factory-applied graffiti-resistant coating that, when paired with PPG’s DuraPrep® system, allows for easy cleanup and reduced maintenance costs. As noted in the guide, “The graffiti-resistant coating system works as a barrier of protection over pre-painted architectural metal panels, preventing most graffiti material from gripping or shadowing the metal surface.”

This attention to both form and function is what positions AEP Span as a go-to in architectural metal solutions. The guide showcases not only their materials, but a design philosophy grounded in flexibility, performance and modern aesthetics.

From curved rooflines to corrugated siding, the full product guide is worth a read for anyone looking to build with intention — and steel!
