Wall Cladding (ACM)

Aluminium composite material, better known as ACM, has become one of the most popular cladding options for facades, feature walls, shopfronts, carports and entryways across Australian residential and commercial builds. It gives a crisp, perfectly flat, architectural finish that is difficult to achieve with timber or render alone.

ACM panels are a sandwich construction: two thin aluminium skins bonded to a solid polyethylene or fire-rated mineral core. This gives the panel real rigidity and a true flat, sag-free surface while remaining far lighter than an equivalent thickness of solid aluminium sheet, which makes it easier and cheaper to handle, transport and fix on site.

3 mm and 4 mm are the standard ACM thicknesses used for wall cladding and facade panels. 3 mm is well suited to smaller feature panels, entry surrounds and letterbox cladding, while 4 mm is preferred for larger facade sections that need extra rigidity across a bigger unsupported span.

ACM is available pre-finished in a broad range of solid colours and metallic finishes to match Colorbond and architectural colour schemes, letting a facade tie in cleanly with roofing, guttering and window frames already on site.

Get a cut-to-size quote on ACM, PVC foam board or rigid PVC through our pricing calculator, and talk to our fabrication team about folded edges, routed detailing or larger facade packages.

All panels are cut and, where needed, routed in-house at our Gold Coast workshop and shipped Australia-wide for renovations, new builds and commercial fit-outs alike.
