What is cladding and why is it important?
Cladding is the protective outer layer applied to buildings for weather protection, insulation, and enhanced aesthetics.Proper cladding extends building life, improves energy efficiency, and offers architectural appeal.
What are rainscreen systems?
Rainscreen systems consist of an outer cladding layer and an air gap. They divert rainwater and moisture away from the building’s structure, preventing mold, structural damage, and improving insulation performance.
What is ACM Panel?
ACM stands for Aluminum Composite Material. It’s a sandwich panel made of two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a core (usually polyethylene or fire-rated). ACM is lightweight, durable, and available in a wide range of finishes.
