Versa

Versa by MAC Metal Architectural brings dynamism and stature to any facade through its wide 12" profile that creates large, smooth, continuous surfaces with no visible screws or joints along the panel's full length. Install it horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — the same hidden-fastener clip system accommodates all orientations and allows individual panel replacement without disturbing adjacent panels. Custom lengths to 12 ft, available in 9 colours with the TEXTURAL III & IV matte paint system, and offered with a vented soffit version providing 4.594 sq.in. of ventilation per linear foot.

Installation Guide

  1. Versa panels have no visible screws or joints along their entire length. Panels fit together via a male/female clip system that accommodates thermal expansion — never force panels or screw through the face.

  2. End reinforcement fold is mandatory for 24g and 26g panels, optional for 22g. Before installing, use the MAC folding tool for Versa & Metal Block to fold panel ends at 90° (½" or 1" minimum) — prevents end deformation and panel separation.

  3. Install Starting Strip (M10G) 3½" above where the wall will start. Level carefully — it determines the straightness of the entire installation. Use MAC 1-1/2" flathead metal screws or 1-1/8" flathead wood screws. For vertical installation, install M50G drip molding at the base instead — no starter strip required.

  4. Drive screws every 16" to 48" o.c. in pre-punched holes with moderate pressure only. Screws must not exert upward or downward pressure on the panel — this causes deformation and joint spacing.

  5. Do NOT install over ZIP System Insulated R-Sheathing or similar dual-composite panels — insufficient rigidity causes movement, deformation, and oil canning under varying weather and sun exposure.

  6. Check alignment every 3–4 panels. Remove the protective film only after the panel is installed where possible — leaving it in place protects the finish during installation and allows visual inspection of alignment.

  7. For inside corners (M22G): slide panel end into molding leaving a 1/8" gap for expansion. For outside corners, install M20G (2-piece: secure strip with screws then apply MAC sealant inside finishing molding before stapling) or M21G (single-piece with inverted fold).

  8. For window openings: install J Trim (M01G) on both sides and bottom; install drip cap above. If the top panel doesn't reach full height, cut with extra ½" and create a 180° fold for additional support — install the cut panel backwards.

  9. Apply MAC sealant in the female clip in ½" × 1" strokes every 24" starting from the 4th floor on tall buildings, or from the 2nd floor in wind-exposed risk areas.

  10. For multi-storey wood structures: install horizontal expansion moldings at every floor. For steel structures or very long walls: install transition moldings every 30 ft.

  11. Cut panels using the MAC Guillotine designed for Versa and Metal Block, or with steel snips/shears. Electric saws and grinders are NOT covered by MAC warranty and may leave metal particles that accelerate corrosion.

  12. Notify your supplier before installing more than 500 sq. ft. if any product issue is discovered during installation to ensure warranty coverage is preserved.
