High-Performance Panels Backed by Sustainable Standards

At OVERLY PANEL SYSTEMS® by East Coast Metal Systems, we believe that exceptional design and sustainable building practices go hand in hand. As a leading manufacturer of precision-engineered metal panel systems, we are proud to deliver cladding solutions that not only meet the highest architectural standards—but also support environmental responsibility across every phase of a project’s life cycle.

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Metal Panel Substrates

OVERLY panel systems utilize metal substrates that are backed by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) published by the Metal Construction Association (MCA). This industry-recognized EPD provides transparent, third-party verified data about the environmental impact of MCM panels, from raw material extraction through manufacturing, transport, use, and disposal.

This declaration affirms our commitment to:

  • Lowering embodied carbon in construction materials
  • Enhancing material transparency
  • Supporting LEED and other green building certifications
  • Promoting sustainable material sourcing and lifecycle thinking

LEED Contribution & Green Building Compliance

Our panel systems support key credits under the LEED rating systems, including:

Sustainable Manufacturing Practices

We also maintain a manufacturing approach that reduces waste and conserves energy, including:

  • High-efficiency machinery to minimize scrap
  • Responsible sourcing from domestic suppliers whenever possible
  • Recycling of metal waste
  • Precision engineering that supports long-lasting installations, reducing the need for replacement
