    Overview

    What is ACM?

    Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) is a high-performance, lightweight cladding solution composed of two aluminum sheets bonded to a non-aluminum core. It offers exceptional durability, weather resistance, and aesthetic versatility, making it an ideal choice for modern architectural designs.

    Advantages

    Why Choose ACM?

    ACM stands out due to its rigidity, ease of installation, and variety of finishes. Its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions while maintaining a sleek appearance makes it a preferred material for both residential and commercial cladding applications.

    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:

    Example Systems

    Rainscreen Systems

    These systems create a ventilated space behind the cladding, allowing for air circulation that prevents moisture buildup and improves thermal performance. Rainscreen systems are ideal for environments where weather resistance is critical.

    Wet Seal Systems

    Wet seal systems use sealants to create a waterproof barrier between ACM panels. This method is excellent for areas requiring enhanced moisture protection and is commonly used in regions with heavy rainfall.

    Dry Seal Systems

    Dry seal systems rely on gaskets and mechanical seals instead of sealants. These systems provide a clean, streamlined look and are easier to maintain over time. They are ideal for projects where aesthetics and long-term durability are priorities.

    Pressure Equalized Systems

    These systems balance air pressure within the wall cavity, preventing water penetration. Pressure equalized systems are particularly effective in high-rise buildings and other structures exposed to extreme weather conditions.
