FW Concealed Fastened Metal Wall & Soffit Panel

FW Panel is a tongue-and-groove concealed fastener wall system that delivers clean, modern lines.

McElroy Metal’s FW Panel offers multiple reveals and joint options and strong design flexibility, while the hidden-clip attachment creates a smooth, uniform façade. FW Panels install quickly, provide long-term durability, and are most often used vertically for sleek architectural expression.
