The pinnacle of Quality & performance

CENTRIA has been leading the way with high performance, highly aesthetic architectural systems and building envelopes for over 100 years. Our full line of innovative metal wall and roof systems and services lend a dramatic edge to some of the world’s finest commercial, institutional and industrial buildings.

CENTRIA offers high-performance building envelope systems that deliver durability and energy efficiency. Our systems integrate a variety of components including windows, metal panels and air, water and vapor barriers to create an effective building enclosure.

WHAT IS A BUILDING ENVELOPE SYSTEM

A building envelope system is the separator between a building’s conditioned interior and the unconditioned exterior that includes the roof, walls, and integrations such as windows. The building envelope should deliver the following functionality: building support, climate control and aesthetic appeal. An effective building envelope should prevent air and water leakage, maintaining a controlled environment within the building. This can enhance the sustainability of your building and reduce long-term costs over its life.

SINGLE-COMPONENT IMP BACKUP WALL + RAINSCREEN CLADDING

Rainscreen wall design requires a backup wall, located behind the outer rainscreen cladding, to provide all hygrothermal controls. CENTRIA pioneered MetalWrap™ to provide a single-component IMP (insulated metal panel) backup wall solution for rainscreen walls. MetalWrap replaces complex multi-component backup wall assemblies and accommodates virtually any rainscreen cladding, including masonry.

THE CENTRIA DIFFERENCE

INTEGRATION

A building envelope is made from various components that must function in unison for high-level and long-term performance. Every element comprising a CENTRIA building envelope is engineered for precision integration in order to maintain critical air, water, thermal, and vapor controls, and to enhance aesthetics.

PERFORMANCE

CENTRIA building envelope systems perform at the industry’s highest levels in thermal, air, water, and vapor control, fire resistance and resiliency categories and come with an industry- exclusive single-source performance warranty.

SIMPLICITY

With CENTRIA, a complex multi-component wall composed of 5 or 6 major elements – from as many manufacturers and requiring intensive training and skill of numerous trades to build – is reduced to a single component, from a single manufacturer, installed by a single well-trained and experienced specialist.

CREATIVE FREEDOM

CENTRIA gives architects the widest possible latitude in design – in materials, form, color, and texture – so that virtually any unique vision can be fully realized.
