ENGINEERED FOR STRENGTH

CSI Heavy Gauge Panel Systems Built for Precision & Performance

CSI Heavy Gauge Panel Systems are fabricated from solid plate materials to deliver exceptional flatness, rigidity, and long-term durability. Unlike light-gauge cladding, CSI’s heavy plate systems create a more monolithic architectural appearance while providing superior resistance to wind loads, oil-canning, and deformation.

Engineered for high-performance façades, soffits, column covers, feature walls, and custom architectural applications, these systems combine structural strength with the refined detailing required for contemporary architecture.

Heavy Gauge Panel Systems

CSI Heavy Gauge Panel Systems are fabricated from solid plate materials to achieve exceptional flatness, rigidity, and long-term durability. Unlike light-gauge cladding, heavy plate construction creates a more monolithic architectural appearance while maintaining superior resistance to wind loads, oil-canning, and deformation.


These systems are well suited for high-performance façades, soffits, column covers, feature walls, and other architectural elements where precision, strength, and refined detailing are critical.


Available material thicknesses include:

  • Aluminum: 1/8” – 1/2”
  • Copper: 24 oz, 36 oz, 48 oz
  • Stainless Steel: 1/8” – 1/4”
  • Cor-Ten Steel: 1/8” – 1/4”
  • Brass, Muntz, Zinc: 1.2 mm – 1.5 mm


CSI systems can be engineered with routed returns, welded corners, concealed fastening, and custom sub-framing to meet the aesthetic and performance requirements of contemporary architectural design.

These robust systems exhibit minimal to no oil-canning, depending on panel size and metal thickness.

CSI-WAP Series

CSI-WAP Series

Our flagship product, the CSI-WAP Series incorporates integrated backside stiffeners, further enhancing flatness and dimensional stability - ensuring clean, crisp lines and long-term visual integrity. Available with Hexagon Micro PVDF, a post-fab applied baked enamel where ultra-fine metallic particles interact with light in a way that creates remarkable depth, vibrancy, and movement across the surface.
