Aluminum composite material (ACM) is one of the most popular types of MCM architectural paneling. ACM paneling typically consists of two thin pieces of aluminum that are laminated and bonded to the sides of a thermoplastic core.

The Advantages of ACM
Lightweight Yet Durable
Aluminum is an inherently lightweight material, facilitating easier transportation and installation. But don’t let its lightness fool you-ACM paneling’s rigidity provides a flush, sleek design that stands the test of time. The bonding process also ensures that ACM paneling is not just lightweight but highly durable and weather-resistant, giving you the confidence that your project will endure.
Custom Finishing Options
Prior to lamination and bonding, the aluminum surfaces can be coil-coated in a wide range of finishes and colorations. These coatings can serve both form and functionality, as many of them possess characteristics like fire resistance.
Eco-Friendly
ACM paneling is mainly composed of high-grade recycled materials, reducing the carbon footprint of your construction project. Many ACMs score highly on the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system.
Versatile Fabrication Capacity
ACM’s innate attributes enable our fabrication team to bend, curve, and form it to suit the unique needs of your architectural application. While commonly utilized for exterior façades, we have also fabricated beam wraps and column covers.
