Diverse versatility in application from smaller residential to mid-rise developments, and the extensive selection of colours with the addition of customization make it the ideal wood look metal panels. Removing all of the hindrances that real wood brings, Alumax Cedarminum Siding is non-combustible, pest and infestation-resistant, and seamlessly integrates with pre-existing facades.

What are Aluminum Composite Panels (or ACM Panels)?

Aluminum Composite Material or ACM is an essential material used in modern residential and commercial developments. If you are looking for a durable, maintenance-free, and cost-effective material that can take on any shape and match any colour — Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) is the ideal architectural building material for you. Notably lightweight and exceptionally easy to install, Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP) save costs on the front end, along with maintenance and replacement expenses in the long run. Alumax Aluminum Composite Panels carry an intrinsic robustness and fundamental quality that improve the structural integrity of the building, while increasing the aesthetic value of every structure it enwraps.

Because with ACM you can create limitless architecture – fabricated, folded, and perforated into any imaginable shape. Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP) are the most advanced of construction materials being used by top architects in Toronto, real estate developers in North America, and forward-thinking designers around the world. Durable, lightweight and highly functional, all with the added proprietary Alumax installation system, allowing for the panels to be installed up to 30% faster.

Why We Need Modern Homes

Traditionally speaking, a home is somewhere to rest your head at night, cook when hungry, and bathe when dirty. There was no real requirement for the design other than the fact that it needed to be able to resist the elements. As time goes on, more and more features were added, some made for luxury, others for necessity. Currently sitting in 2018, homes provide more than just a shelter over your head and the recent fad of “modern homes” is taking over.

For these newly developed houses, a huge part of the design is sustainability which we would suggest is becoming one of the most important factors when building a home. There are many ways of achieving a sustainable living space such as efficient appliances, renewable energy, down to the materials we use in construction.

The modern home not only is effective in it’s environmental and ecological impact but boast beauty and aesthetically pleasing design for all. The most common denominator among these homes derived from its exterior facade, which in most cases, uses a new material which is constantly developing called Aluminum Composite Paneling. ACP for short is an aluminum cladding which is easy to use, install, and fabricate making it one of the most versatile and cost-efficient building materials to this day.

Why is this material so important? ACP or ACM (Aluminum Composite Material) is manufactured with two aluminum sheets sandwiching a filling interior, usually polyethylene or corrugated aluminum. This means the panels are not only recyclable but can be made from completely recycled materials and be used over and over again. ACM is not only environmentally friendly but it is extremely safe as well. ACM does not combust and requires spacers between exterior wall and cladding, providing a second level of protection that not only to contain, if one were to occur, fires from escaping but preventing oxygen from entering as well.

ACM is unique in its look as it can provide a contrast that can bring out the features in other aspects of your home like windows, doors, and lighting while being beautiful to look at on its own. You are also not left to building traditional square designs that are less pleasing to look at but rather a multitude of designs and shapes giving an edge to projects that require a unique persona.
