ACM Panel facade on modern building

Aluminum Composite Panels (ACM)

Premium 4mm PVDF-coated aluminum composite panels available in 15+ colors. Fire-retardant core options for commercial and residential facade projects across the East Coast.

What Are ACM Panels?

Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) panels are high-performance architectural cladding products composed of two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a polyethylene or fire-retardant mineral core. This unique sandwich construction delivers exceptional flatness, rigidity, and durability while remaining remarkably lightweight compared to solid metal alternatives.

ACM panels are finished with a premium PVDF (Kynar 500) fluoropolymer coating that provides superior color retention, chalk resistance, and protection against UV degradation. Unlike standard painted surfaces that fade and deteriorate over time, PVDF-coated panels maintain their appearance for decades with minimal maintenance, making them an outstanding long-term investment for any building envelope.

The versatility of ACM panels makes them suitable for virtually any architectural application. From sleek curtain wall systems and column covers to fascia panels, canopy soffits, and decorative accent elements, these panels can be routed, folded, and fabricated into complex shapes while maintaining clean sight lines and consistent color across large surface areas.

At Apex Facade Systems, we supply full-size ACM sheets and provide custom cutting and fabrication services from our Philadelphia facility. Whether you need standard flat panels or precision-routed cassettes ready for installation, our team delivers quality materials with fast turnaround times to keep your project on schedule.

Versatile Design

Available in 15+ standard colors with custom color matching. Panels can be routed, folded, and shaped to achieve any architectural vision from flat panels to complex 3D forms.

Lightweight & Strong

At approximately 8 lbs per standard sheet, ACM panels reduce structural load requirements while delivering superior rigidity and impact resistance compared to single-skin metals.

Weather & UV Resistant
