Aluminum Composite Material (ACM)

Strength meets aesthetics – Discover the potential of your architectural designs with our cutting-edge ACMs.

Redefining Architecture With our ACM

What is ACM?

ACM, or Aluminum Composite Material, stands as a favored cladding option, offering assistance to contractors and leaving a lasting impression on architects. It plays a crucial role in contemporary architecture, delivering a combination of visual appeal and practicality. Our Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP) are specifically crafted for facade applications, addressing all cladding requirements. ACM boasts design flexibility, simple fabrication, and uncomplicated installation. Opting for ACM transforms your building into a durable and visually striking structure.

ACM Layers

The robustness of our Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) underscores the effectiveness of combining compatible materials. ACM exemplifies this synergy by incorporating multiple layers, each playing a crucial role in ensuring its unparalleled strength.

The composition of an ACP may differ based on its purpose, design, and unique specifications.

Protective Film 

This protective layer shields the panel surface against scratches or dents during transportation and installation. It is not a permanent component of the ACP structure and will be taken off once the installation is complete.

PVDF Coating

Our ACPs feature a PVDF Kynar 500 fluorocarbon coating, ensuring exceptional weather resistance and long-lasting durability.

High Strength Aluminum Sheet 

The outer layers of our ACPs consist of this aluminum sheet due to its lightweight nature, resistance to corrosion, and enduring characteristics.

Non-Toxic Polyethylene or Fire-Resistant Core

Polyethylene, which is non-toxic, or a core with fire-resistant properties serves as the crucial component in an ACM panel. It provides the panel with lightweight characteristics while preserving its ability to withstand impacts. Typically composed of Polyethylene, this lightweight core effectively counterbalances the denser aluminum layers. Alternatively, we provide a core with fire-resistant features to ensure maximum safety, a necessity for cladding structures exceeding four stories.

Design Performance

ACM products offer remarkable durability and ease of maintenance, saving time, money, and effort while preserving their aesthetic appeal for years. Choosing ACM for your next cladding project not only safeguards your Return on Investment but also enhances the building's appeal and value long after installation.

Durability

Buildings are designed to withstand the test of time, and this is where ACM panels truly shine as cladding material. The robust composition of ACM panels, featuring two resilient aluminum sheets bonded with a durable, impact-resistant core, ensures a formidable shield against physical damage.

Easy Installation

Our optimized fabrication process efficiently shapes ACM into easy-to-install panels. These are custom-fit based on designer or architect specifications, eliminating job site surprises. Our careful yet flexible waterproofing with dry joint methods ensures quick and seamless ACM cladding installation.

Economy

ACM products are durable, easy to maintain, and ensure long-lasting beauty with minimal effort. Investing in ACM cladding protects your ROI, enhances building appeal, and adds value beyond the initial installation.

Flatness

Modern architectural tastes favor smooth facades, a look easily achieved with ACM's versatile fabrication options that cater to designs from minimalist to intricate.

Non Inflammable

ACM provides a fire-resistant solution for your building's cladding, thanks to its core composition designed to minimize heat conduction - the initial stage of combustion. This guarantees enhanced safety and reassurance for occupants. Adhering to international standards, our ACM sheets are flame retardant and comply with Ontario's building codes, ensuring your cladding remains robust and secure against fire incidents.

UV Repellent (Fade Resistant)

While the sun's rays can be damaging to many building materials, causing them to lose their original color, ACM cladding is designed to withstand this. It's coated with materials resistant to both weather conditions and harmful UV rays, ensuring the panels retain their initial hue.

Versatility

ACM's adaptability and versatility is tailored to meet your specific needs, regardless of whether your design is intricate or minimalist. It can be custom-fabricated according to your exact requirements, making it a popular choice across the construction industry. 

Water Resistant

ACM's PVDF paint, coupled with its Chemosynthetic Oxidation Coating and Anticorrosive Primer, proves excellent resilience against environmental wear and tear. It is designed to withstand the intense heat of summer as well as the bitter cold winds of winter. ACM cladding provides protection against a range of natural weather, including storms, as well as emerging environmental threats like acid rain, that can gradually deteriorate other materials.
