Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of using Mapes Veneer & Glazing Panels in a commercial building design?

Mapes Veneer & Glazing Panels provide a lightweight, low-cost and durable option for commercial facades, serving as direct substitutes for glass in any glazing application. These non-insulated infill panels can be manufactured with all architectural finishes (Kynar, Anodized), with optional fire and moisture-resistant cores to ensure code-compliant performance and appearance.

What are the main differences between Mapes spandrel infill panels and Veneer & Glazing Panels?

Mapes spandrel infill panels are opaque, insulated units — usually made with metal or glass faces — used to conceal structural elements. In contrast, panel glazing consists of transparent glass units designed to provide visibility. Mapes Veneer & Glazing Panels can replace glass in any glazing application, with optional core materials for added fire or moisture resistance.

Are Mapes’ Veneer & Glazing Panels impact-resistant?

Yes. While Mapes’ Veneer & Glazing Panels are non-insulated, they still provide impact resistance, making them ideal for glazing replacement, wall facing, fascia and soffit applications.

How do I install a standard Mapes veneer with applied stops or Mapes molding?

For a proper installation, the veneer panel should be sealed on both the interior and exterior with permanently elastic silicone caulking. Use setting blocks for support and drill weeps in the sash molding. For applications with loose insulation, backcaulk in conjunction with a minimum 6-mil vapor barrier to prevent condensation. Finally, ensure the wall cavity is vented to prevent moisture entrapment.
