PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
In high-moisture zones such as bathrooms, kitchens, spas, and indoor pool areas, aluminum panels outclass traditional drywall by offering near-impermeable moisture barriers. While moisture-resistant drywall variants (green board, cement-board) rely on coatings and additives that can still absorb water over time, aluminum panels feature non-porous surfaces that block water vapor and liquid infiltration entirely. Coated with FDA-grade powder or anodized treatments, aluminum resists mold, mildew, and efflorescence—critical for indoor environments exposed to steam and condensate.
Installation over blocking or furring channels creates ventilated rainscreen cavities, preventing trapped moisture behind the finish layer. Panels can be sealed at joints with elastomeric gaskets, ensuring a fully watertight envelope without needing taping or joint compounds. Cleaning is as simple as wiping with mild detergent, and no primers or moisture-blocking paints are required. Because aluminum won’t rot, warp, or degrade under constant humidity, facility managers enjoy predictable performance and longer service intervals than with gypsum board. For projects demanding hygienic, moisture-proof finishes—especially in healthcare or hospitality—aluminum panel walls provide an optimal, trouble-free alternative.
