How Does Metal Wall Installation Time Compare to Drywall Setup?

The on-site time for installing aluminum wall panels generally undercuts that of conventional drywall assemblies by streamlining key steps. Drywall installation involves framing, hanging gypsum boards, taping joints, applying multiple coats of joint compound, sanding, priming, and painting—each stage requiring drying periods and potential rework. In contrast, aluminum panels are factory-finished to the final color and texture, delivered ready to mount. Installers simply affix panels to pre-installed rails or furring channels using concealed fasteners, completing the process without compound or paint.

Because aluminum panels don’t require successive drying cycles, projects avoid weather-dependent delays. Fast-clip systems enable rapid alignment and locking, often allowing 1,000 square feet to be fully installed in a single day with a two-person crew. Additionally, prefabricated cutouts for outlets and penetrations minimize field modifications. While initial layout and attachment require precision, the elimination of mudding, sanding, and painting phases reduces both labor hours and the risk of dust. Overall, aluminum wall systems deliver predictable schedules and fewer trade interfaces than drywall, accelerating project timelines and lowering installation costs.
