Revolutionary

PanelMax is a revolutionary system that makes creating intricate shapes and assemblies from drywall much more affordable. Projects that require a lot of manual cutting or that have complex curves have always been cumbersome and time-consuming for builders. Now even the most challenging assemblies can be completed more efficiently with less finishing, less labor and fewer materials.

Perfect Corners

PanelMax mills a perfect corner, using gypsum, wood, and plastic or even cement board. Precision engineered groves allow material to be fabricated into rigid and precisely aligned assemblies. PanelMax milled corners, especially drywall, are clean and precise minimizing the need for additional finishing materials, saving time, labor and material costs.

  • Apply second coat of joint compound. Let dry 1-2 days.
  • Sand
  • Touch up

PANELMAX METHOD

  • Make corners in bulk production.

  • Cover screw heads with joint compound.

 PanelMax saves up to 65% in material costs and up to 87% in time.

PANELMAX EXPANDS CREATIVITY AND DESIGN
Decorative Details

1

With PanelMax, decorative details, such as ceiling moldings, can be fabricated using just drywall. Fabricated details can be installed as components, are much lighter weight that traditional material and require much less finishing.

Details

2

Drywall can be used to create details like wainscoting coating. Drywall can be routed and folded together to form perfect edges and require very little finishing.

Ceiling Details

3

Ceiling details, like stepped soffits, are relatively easy to create with PanelMax and require very little finishing on inside and outside corners.

Curves

4

Recessed box details are easy to fabricate with PanelMax and require little finishing. Fireboxes and other recessed boxes typically require quite a bit of taping and finishing. Inside corners are perfect and straight every time.

Columns

6

Drywall can be fabricated into columns to cover pipes, support columns or for decoration. PanelMax columns can be rounded, fluted, hexagon or other typical shapes. You are only limited by your imagination.

90° Corners
