Aluminum Composite Material

Need a low-weight material with good dimensional stability and a sleek appearance? Use durable, versatile aluminum composite material (ACM) for indoor and outdoor applications.  

Aluminum composite panels consist of three layers. The external layers are aluminum sheets. The internal layer is a lightweight core material, such as metal, mineral core, or polyethylene. A protective coating covers the finished product. 

Plastic polyethylene (PE) is the most commonly chosen core material. It’s the most lightweight and cost-efficient option. 

ACM panels can contain other core materials depending on your application requirements. If you need a fire-retardant material for a high-rise building, the core can contain thermoplastic resins with a mineral charge. And a panel made with a mineral core will meet the highest regulatory requirements of fire classification. 

The properties of aluminum composite material make it suitable for various architectural and construction projects. ACM has high dimensional stability, meaning that it resists any change in its dimensions caused by environmental factors. The material can handle shifts in temperature and humidity levels and still retain its original boundaries and structural integrity, making this material suitable for a wide range of climates. 

Architectural System Fabricators can help make your creative vision a reality with ACM. We can fabricate panels with a variety of methods to achieve any required form. We can use processes—such as punching, roller bending, and CNC stamping—to shape, bend, and curve the material. 

ACM is lightweight, making it easy to transport, carry, and install. And since it’s cost-effective, if one panel gets damaged, it’s easy to replace. You can keep your project looking its best. 

Architectural System Fabricators can cover the surface with a decorative design. The aesthetic variety ACM metal fabrication can achieve makes this material popular for sleek, modern styles. You can use ACM panels in cladding to form an external non-structural surface. ACM makes great decorative elements, signage, ceilings, ornamentation, storefronts, and walls. 

You can apply a wide range of finishes to ACM for a visually attractive touch. Finish with a range of solid or metallic colors, or add texture, matte, or even wood-type finishes. The variety of looks makes this an ideal material for stylish designs inside or outside. 

The properties of ACM make it a beauty to look at and easy to cut, shape, and install. For precise ACM panel fabrication, contact Architectural System Fabricators.
