ACM Cladding for custom homes and residential builds

We are an ACM cladding contractor serving Toronto and the GTA. Manaco designs, fabricates, and installs complete ACM cladding systems for custom homes, builders, and general contractors – one contract, one team, one point of accountability from drawings to finished facade.

If you’re a builder or GC specifying exterior cladding on a residential project, you know what goes wrong when a subtrade only sells panels and someone else is responsible for the install. Panels that don’t fit. Site delays. Details improvised on the fly. Rework that drive up costs. Manaco eliminates that gap.

We’ve installed ACM cladding on homes across North York, Vaughan, Toronto, and the GTA – using ALUBOND, ALPOLIC and other major ACM brands.

Advantages

When ACM Cladding is done Properly

When ACM cladding is done properly ACM cladding is more than the panels. It depends on how well the panels are designed, and how the trims, corners, and joints come together afterinstallation. Long-term performance comes down to panel quality, fabrication, and installation. Panel layout, fastening, and transitions all need to be handled properly for the finish to look right and perform as expected. ACM panels are available in a wide range of colors . They’re used to create clean, modern exteriors that hold up in Toronto conditions without repainting or ongoing maintenance.

Why Builders & Homeowners choose ACM Cladding

Lightweight & Rigid

ACM panels are lightweight and rigid, which helps achieve straight lines, tight joints, and a clean finish across the exterior.

Range of Colors & Finishes

ACM panels are available in a wide range of colors and finishes, including options that replicate materials like stone or wood. This allows for modern exterior designs without the limitations of other cladding materials.

Durability & Weather Resistance

ACM panels are built to handle sun, rain, and temperature changes. When installed properly, they hold up in Toronto conditions without needing repainting or regular maintenance.

Cost-Effectiveness of ACM Composite Panels

ACM panels are fabricated before installation, which eliminates on-site cutting, reduces waste, and helps keep exterior work moving without unnecessary delays or rework.

Project Types

Residential ACM Panels

ACM panels are also known as Aluminum Composite panels (ACP), which replace traditional materials that require regular maintenance. They are the ideal choice for those seeking a beautiful home that doesn’t demand frequent maintenance.

The type of aluminum composite material cladding contains various shades and finishes designed to give a wood, stone, or metal effect, regardless of the texture. By using ACM panels, renovating any house to achieve a presentable, stylish appearance while maintaining its form and aesthetics becomes much easier.

Commercial ACM Cladding Solutions

Aluminum composite materials (ACM) offer functional benefits and enhanced architectural appeal, making them an ideal choice for corporate structures. Thanks to the robust nature of aluminum composite materials, they provide reliable protection against all weather conditions.

Due to its minimalistic sophisticated design, this enhances the professional status of a building. For places such as offices, retail zones, and showrooms, the ACM panels are the best to create high-quality looks for clients and potential customers.

Mounting Systems

At Manaco Cladding, we offer a range of advanced installation systems for ACM cladding, ensuring precision, durability, and aesthetic excellence in every project. Here are the primary systems we use:

Hanging Systems

The suspension system is an adaptable system that uses proprietary spacers or shims, clips, addon frame holding profiles (E bars), and Z bars if necessary. ACM panels (aluminum composite metal panels) are efficiently installed and securely fastened with this system, enhancing the overall appearance of the finish. The presence of Z bars may change building configurations but this makes it easier to install the ACM panels; its limits provide more support to the perimeter, however, in that regard, trim is more efficiently covered by E bars.

Male-Female Systems

This system employs the ‘Male-Female’ principle explained from the male perspective. In other words, the panels are designed to be 'screw-friendly,' allowing them to be securely fastened to adjacent panels without deviating from the expansion joint. The design of the panels is also meant to make it very easy to put them together and pull them apart. So, it is ideally suited for projects of a larger scale, such as those using 4x8 aluminum sheet metal or thin aluminum sheet metal for ease of assembly.

Riveted Systems

In the riveted system, Omega aluminum profiles are supported with pairs of specially crafted T spacers providing an interlocking system to stop mechanical movement and to support and fasten the ACM (aluminum composite material cladding) to the corner connections of the primary structural frame. This is because such structural systems have been deemed as having high levels of strength and robustness. Moreover, the hole rivet connections provide for the mechanical joining of the two panels, which means the panel will not even bulge regardless of the weather or any other external conditions.

Glued Systems

The glued system is designed for use in buildings requiring internal applications, incorporating deformable elements such as angular spacers and wavy tubes. Such a system is most preferred in cases where no interruptions in the assemblies or structures are envisaged. This issue is easily resolved using the available adhesive, which forms a bond between the aluminum plate and the supporting structure, while also assisting with rib alignment through the aid tubes. This system is ideal for aluminum sheet metal material applications where a seamless finish is desired.

Consultation

We come together to understand what your project requires. This is achieved through various methods, including discussing the different types of composite panels available in Canada, advanced 3D design techniques, estimating the required quantity, determining costs, and outlining the timeline for completion.

02 /

Design and Shop Drawings

Agreement of shop job and working drawings is made with your expert specifications. Nonetheless, this point includes the quality or the sharpness of the task yet to be performed.

03 /

Fabrication

After the approval of the shop drawings, the project moves into fabrication where our skilled workers form the ACM panels with great detail for the installation of mounting system elements aligned in every corner.

04 /

Installation

Finally, the flawless application of the ACM panels is done by our seasoned staff, which wraps up by giving an appearance that is attractive and most importantly long-lasting to the building.

Since the 1980s, due to increased complexity in building, the architecture profession has evolved suggesting a different image of the field beyond aesthetics and design of structures.
