PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
The term “ACM panel” refers to Aluminum Composite Material panel. It denotes a sandwich-style composite panel consisting of two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a non-aluminum core. The aluminum skins offer weather resistance, rigidity, and a surface suited for factory-applied coil coatings. The core—polyethylene or a fire-retardant mineral blend—provides structural support, impact resistance, and light weight.
In aluminum ceiling and facade contexts, ACM panels deliver smooth, planar surfaces free of visible fasteners when using concealed clip systems. The PVDF or polyester coatings on the aluminum faces ensure long-term color retention and resistance to UV degradation. ACM panels are easily cut, bent, and formed to create complex geometries, including curved facades and coffered ceiling patterns.
Fire-rated ACM with mineral cores enables compliance with building codes for high-rise exteriors. Their low maintenance, aesthetic versatility, and performance make ACM panels a mainstay in contemporary architectural design.
