Dri-Design presents MA-X™, a large-format aluminum panel system that delivers bigger panel sizes, high wind-load performance, and fast installation, providing architects with design flexibility and installers with a lower-cost alternative to traditional panel systems. Patent-pending panel configuration and cleat design.
Product Features
- Larger-format panels engineered for complex building envelopes
- Larger panels and cleaner lines, enabling varied façade compositions while maintaining system performance
- Designed to reduce on-site coordination and complexity requirements, supporting construction timelines
- Supports wind exceeding 100 PSF with an optional cleat (patent pending) and holds HVHZ and impact approvals in select applications
MA-X™ Collection
This system features a large-format vertical orientation. Design options include a diverse array of colors, sizes, and configurations, including stacked and staggered layouts.
The M63 system offers a 0.063-inch aluminum alternative to the M80 while maintaining tested structural, rainscreen, and wind performance. Designed as a drained and back-ventilated rainscreen, it supports wind loads exceeding 100 PSF when paired with the optional patent-pending cleat. Durable fluoropolymer finishes and environmentally responsible manufacturing practices complete the system.
The M80 system combines 0.080-inch aluminum with an engineered panel design to support large-format applications and demanding wind loads. Its larger dimensions reduce the number of panels required per project, helping streamline installation. The complete system has been tested for structural integrity, rainscreen performance, and wind resistance.
The MA-X™ Shadow Series brings depth and contrast to large-format façades with deeper panel profiles that create pronounced shadow lines. As light changes, the panels reveal shifting texture and dimension while retaining the performance, rigidity, and installation advantages of the MA-X platform.
