Designed with CENTRIA’s innovative advanced thermal and moisture protection (ATMP) technology, MetalWrap Integrated feature integral attachment systems for multiple materials, making these systems the perfect choice for mixed-medium exteriors. MetalWrap insulated composite backup panels serve as the ultimate backup wall for nearly any type of exterior rainscreen system, from single-skin metal to brick, terra cotta and others.
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.
MetalWrap® is an insulated composite backup panel system that consists of two steel skins, permanently bonded to a poured-in-place foam insulating core. Custom integrated panel clips into the panel joint and face clips provide the required attachment points for a masonry exterior. It is recommended for use with 18-gauge steel studs.
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.
MetalWrap Long Span exterior composite wall panels provide a flexible option for applications that require direct attachment to steel girts up to 6’ o.c. The insulated composite backup panel system consists of two steel skins permanently bonded to a poured-in-place foam insulating core. Various attachment systems are available to accommodate different exterior rainscreen materials using steel sub-girts.
MetalWrap Long Span Series 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. This single component assembly replaces multiple components used for backup wall systems. Various attachment systems are available to accommodate different exterior rainscreen materials using steel subgirts.
MetalWrap insulated composite backup panels showcase integrated components, including windows and louvers. The product’s single-component construction means a single source of responsibility, leading to less coordination, fewer scheduling and interface issues, and one-step installation by one contractor.
MetalWrap® is the only insulated composite backup panel with an integrated window system. CENTRIA’s Formavue 600 Window further enhances air and water performance and reduces risks for both the architect and the building owner. The window also features large thermal breaks aligned with the panel insulation as well as additional insulation in the head of the window frame.
The MetalWrap® integrated louver system, developed in conjunction with the CS GROUP, INC., is designed for large areas where louvers are an architectural feature. The system utilizes storm resistant MW-7315 front blades over horizontal MetalWrap Series MR-300 system in the inactive louver area. Both the attachment system and the panel face are painted black, providing a seamless transition between the active and inactive louvers.
MetalWrap™ insulated composite backup panels serve as the ultimate backup wall for nearly any type of exterior rainscreen system, from single-skin to brick, terra cotta and others. Designed with CENTRIA’s innovative advanced thermal and moisture protection (ATMP) technology, MetalWrap Integrated feature integral attachment systems for multiple materials, making these systems the perfect choice for mixed-medium exteriors.
Backup wall systems provide an economical solution to air, water and vapor barriers while providing superior thermal performance. Backup wall systems are designed to work with different exterior rainscreen materials.

Insulated metal panels can be as thin as 2 inches or as thick as 4 inches for backup wall panels.
The lengths can range from 6′-0″ to 45′-0″ depending on the design needs.
A barrier wall and a drainage wall are two types of exterior wall systems used in building construction. The main difference between them is in how they manage water that enters the wall system. A barrier wall system is designed to stop all water at the exterior face of the wall. A drainage wall system, on the other hand, is designed to allow water to enter the wall system but then directs it back out again through a drainage system.
CENTRIA’s MetalWrap™ Series provides a 10-year weathertight warranty.
