Slab Edge™ Wall System
The Slab Edge™ wall system is a lightweight, high-performance solution for beam cladding and slab edge panels, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional steel I-beams. Designed to replicate the look of structural steel, this aluminum beam cladding system delivers durability without the added weight or complexity of true steel.
Suitable for both interior and exterior applications, Slab Edge™ can cover structural elements or create the appearance of exposed beams. As part of our architectural metal wall systems, it provides a clean, consistent finish while simplifying installation. With the ability to additionally customize the width of the panel or the color of the finish, this system can meet nearly any design intent.
