CENTRIA’s MetalWrap is a cladding solution that serves as a backbone of sustainable design. It is a backup wall system designed to minimize moisture and air penetration and offers superior thermal performance as part of an exterior rainscreen system. |
Architizer’s 2024 A+ Product Award winners were selected from hundreds of entries in 39 categories by a prestigious jury of more than 200 practicing architects and designers from across the globe. The judging criteria included aesthetics, performance, innovative use of materials, environmental impact, and the potential to incorporate new technologies and design practices.
“The CENTRIA team is excited to earn a Special Mention for CENTRIA MetalWrap from the Architizer A+ Awards’ esteemed jury of architects and designers,” said Jennifer Franz, Product Manager. “MetalWrap reduces installation time, enhances energy efficiency, and works with nearly all non-combustible exterior cladding materials to offer architects an integrated, sustainable backup wall system.”
MetalWrap is designed for installation behind nearly any type of noncombustible exterior rainscreen system, including CENTRIA’s Concept Series single-skin metal panels, brick, terra cotta, and more. MetalWrap’s single-component construction significantly improves upon traditional multi-component building technology with faster, one-step installation. Unlike traditional backup wall systems requiring multiple layers installed in three or four steps, MetalWrap meets energy efficiency goals with its integrated composite panel design. This eliminates the need for conventional batt or board insulation, exterior gypsum, air barriers, vapor retarders, and building wraps. MetalWrap’s attachment systems offer enhanced flexibility, faster installation, and superior thermal performance throughout the joint. It also features a 10-year weather-tight warranty.

The MR-100 attachment system is highly versatile and compatible with most rainscreen cladding. It offers enhanced flexibility, faster installation, and superior thermal performance at the joinery. Pre-punched at the factory, the MR-100 simplifies the placement of vertical sub-framing for a streamlined installation process.
The MR-300 attachment system also provides enhanced flexibility, faster installation, and superior thermal performance at the joinery. However, the MR-300 integrated subgirt simplifies the installation of vertical rainscreen systems by eliminating the need for additional subgirts, making it more cost-effective. Pre-punched for easy vertical sub-framing placement, the MR-300 offers continuous support along the panel joint, ensuring optimal structural integrity. It’s adaptable to most modular rainscreens, providing a comprehensive solution for diverse cladding needs.
MetalWrap with integrated panel clips is an insulated composite backup panel system that consists of two steel skins, permanently bonded to a poured-in-place foam insulating core. The panel provides thermal, air, water, and vapor barriers in a composite assembly. Special attachment clips integrate with the panel joinery. Subgirts are fastened through the clips into the studs allowing for a variety of exterior rainscreen materials to be attached. It is recommended for use with 18-gauge minimum steel studs.
