Aluminum Composite Materal
Aluminum Composite Material has been a consistently increasing part of the exterior cladding market in the United States for over three decades. Preferred by architects for its flexible possibilities and by contractors and owners for its durability, ACM has become one of the most popular cladding materials in construction. This metal wall panel has an incredible strength-to-weight ratio that allows for a flatness and dependability that can’t be matched.
Used in both new construction and remodel applications, aluminum composite material has a wide color pallet and finish options to fit any need. There are also several thicknesses and either a polyethylene or fire retardant core to choose from.
We’ve all seen building exteriors that have faded quickly, warped and basically look decades older than they are. With the most popular ACM brands (listed below) there’s no need to worry about inferior product – the standard finish warranty is 20 years with a 30 year warranty option available.
EcoClean™
Now the new EcoClean™ panel from Alcoa takes sustainability to the next level with the world’s first coil-coated aluminum composite panel that helps clean itself as well as the air. The result is less costs in maintenance for building owners and a cleaner looking panel over time. From an environmental standpoint, EcoClean™ panels utilize the sun, vapor from water and oxygen to oxidize nitrogen oxide (smog), removing pollutants from the air around it. Simply stated by Alcoa, “10,000 square feet of Reynobond® with EcoClean™ has the approximate air cleansing power of 80 trees. That’s enough cleaning power to offset the smog created by the pollution output of four cars every day.”
