What Are Aluminum Composite Panels?
ACM, fully abbreviated as Aluminum composite panel, is one of the most reliable cladding materials that has become the epitome of modern luxury. It is widely used to upgrade the interior of buildings. These panels come in two layers of aluminum coating, sandwiched with a metal plate. Available in a plethora of colours, these finishes replicate natural compounds, steel and wood. Its popularity in contemporary buildings is rooted in high-end materials offering a stronger and lasting impression.
Especially for high-rise structures, these Aluminum wall panels offer a wide range of options for architects. It can be folded, curved or turned into desirable shapes as needed. Our professionals offer rapid installation solutions and help to choose the best type for your needs with utmost sincerity.
Why Use ACM Panels?
ACM panels are trusted by many for their ability to meet varying expectations. Their application in aluminum sheet construction has set fresh standards for modern architecture. Some of the reasons for ACM panel installation are:
Rigidity and Lightweightness
Unlike traditional cladding materials that contribute to structural load, the aluminum composite material (ACM) panel maintains harmony between rigidity and lightness. The strength and efficiency of lightweight core aluminum contribute to the sandwich-like structure. It facilitates ease of transportation and installation for ACM cladding panels.
Aesthetic Versatility

At PWCR, our designers and architects are well-versed in maintaining durability with appeal. We help you create facades that catch the eye on a busy street.

Durability & Weathering Properties
In Canada, buildings are highly exposed to harsh conditions. That is why opting for the right exterior cladding is essential. Our architects ensure the panels are engineered specifically to withstand the environmental stressors. The crux of the wonder is prefinished, layered construction. This supports the rigidity, ensuring the panels won't react to temperature fluctuations.
Cost-effectiveness
Making wise investments in the right cladding material can balance your upfront costs with long-term added benefits. Our technicians will help with the right choice, ensuring your satisfaction. Characteristics highlighting protective coatings, corrosion resistance and UV stability make our ACM panel a top choice among clients.

Types of ACM Panels
ACM Panels come in different types, fitting various project needs.
PE Core – Made of a polythene core, which is sandwiched between two layers of aluminum. These panels are employed for interior applications and signage. Despite the advantages, note that PE core panels are suitable for projects with flexible fire-rating requirements.
FR Core – These panels are built with a fire-resistant mineral core. They are lighter than PE and are often required in high-rise projects. Unlike PE, these panels meet the stricter building codes and comply with fire safety regulations.
For projects with the requirement for versatility at affordable rates, the PE core panel delivers. And the ones that require strict adherence to safety and code compliance, the FR core panel is the ultimate choice.
How to install ACM Panels?
ACM panels are versatile, but proper installation requires expertise to ensure safety, durability, and a perfect finish. The general process involves:
Surface Preparation
We begin by preparing the wall. By adding a protective layer, we block water while allowing space for moisture escape. We carefully set up a ventilated framework to support panel stability and withstand integrity against Canada’s harsh weather conditions.
Measure carefully
ACM panels allow for customization. Our technicians take precise measurements, measuring angles and lengths closely. They assess the measurements of the area dedicated to ACM installation. Knowing the exact dimensions can help with the right size of panels, followed by designing the panel installation.
Design
