Most importantly, CEI understands the importance of keeping the exterior envelope of a building sealed. Since most mounting hardware penetrates the exterior cladding system, it is critical to have an understanding of how to integrate the installation of these additional scopes of work.

CEI's column cover systems are available in either Metal Composite Material (MCM) or Aluminum Plate. Our column covers can be formed to virtually any shape and are available in a number of different joint configurations.

CEI offers full-service capabilities for all your needs:
