Embossed Metal Panels

M-Boss Inc. provides architects, designers and builders an unlimited array of design options to make all fifth walls spectacular. Panels range from elaborate, intricate patterns to sleek, contemporary designs. Additionally, the proprietary manufacturing processes used by M-Boss Inc. make custom designs of patterns, graphics and finishes fast and economical. For example, any Sherwin-Williams color can be matched. A range of substrates can be used including: aluminum, solid copper or tin-plated steel. Aluminum is the preferred substrate because of its superior performance attributes (e.g., won’t rust, lightweight, easily cut). All M-Boss Inc. 2’ x 2’ panels are lightweight and easily installed by one person; panels ship economically direct to installation sites; and are available for nail-up and lay-in applications. An M-Boss Inc. design staff can help create stunning ceilings that will have everyone looking up.


Nail-Up

M-Boss Inc. nail-up panels provide a permanent, maintenance-free ceiling that will last for generations. Application is simple: installers begin by covering the ceiling area with 3/8" plywood, and then simply nail the metal panels to the plywood using authentic M-Boss Inc. cone-head nails. With new construction, there is no need to hang drywall. For rehab jobs where there is cracked plaster or sprayed acoustic on the ceiling, there is no need to repair or remove it. Just nail the plywood to it, covering any defects. M-Boss Inc. does not recommend nailing panels directly to a plaster or drywall ceiling since these materials have insufficient nail-holding properties. M-Boss Inc. recommends using filler panels as a decorative transition around the room in order to minimize or even eliminate the need to cut the main field panels; thereby reducing installation labor costs. Most filler panels are sized to match a 2’ x 2’ panel, however, M-Boss Inc. also offers rolled fillers for nail-up installations, an industry exclusive. These rolls are designed to reduce the number of seams, eliminate trimming to width and provide easier installation. M-Boss Inc. roll fillers are available in 1’ x 12’ rolls in all M-Boss Inc. finishes.


Lay-In

M-Boss Inc. lay-in panels are a perfect blend of modern-day construction techniques and old world charm. Architects and builders are making “statement” spaces in their commercial projects by using M-Boss Inc. 2’ x 2’ embossed panels in standard ceiling grids. The panels are specially sized (23-7/8” x 23-7/8” nominal size) to fit into standard grid systems, making installation simple. Just drop them into a standard 15/16” grid system. If desired, easy-snap clips from M-Boss Inc. are available as an accessory item to hold the panel securely to the grid. M-Boss Inc. recommends using filler panels as a decorative transition around the room in order to minimize or even eliminate the need to cut the main field panels and thereby reduce installation labor costs. Most fillers panels are sized to match a 2’ x 2’ panel, however, M-Boss Inc. also offers specially-sized fillers for lay-in installations. These special sizes are designed to reduce the number of seams, eliminate trimming to width and provide easier installation. M-Boss Inc. lay-in fillers are available in 1’ x 4’ flat sections in any of the 45 M-Boss Inc. finishes.


Walls

Pressed metal panels by M-Boss Inc. look spectacular on ceilings AND on walls. Trendsetting designers and architects are installing M-Boss Inc. panels in model homes as wainscoting and on full walls, floor to ceiling. M-Boss Inc. panels are a durable substitute for wallpaper and can be mixed or matched to create a dramatic effect. Or, use a historically reproduced frieze to create an authentic wainscoting. Don’t forget to “finish” the wall with complementing cornice, moldings, chair rails and baseboards.


Custom and Replication

Proprietary manufacturing processes and state-of-the-art equipment allow M-Boss Inc. to provide cost effective custom replication and graphics. M-Boss Inc. specializes in replicating original patterns: providing authentic replacements or historically accurate new tin ceilings to the restoration, renovation, and historically-styled, new construction marketplace. A design staff is available to help make any custom design or graphic a reality. M-Boss Inc. offers products in a range of substrates to provide affordable pricing compatible with any budget. Products are economically and promptly shipped direct to job sites.
