1. Aluminium Composite Material Cladding Light concrete cladding • Functional requirements • Weather Exclusion • Solar Control • Thermal Insulation • Fire Protection • Noise Control • Safety • Security • Decoration ACM is a high strength and rigid material capable of being re-formed and shaped to the client’s requirements. It can be fabricated into Trays or Cassettes, which can include curves and shapes as well as flat panels. Glass cladding • Features , Consists of a non-toxic polyethylene core bonded between 0.5mm aluminium facing and backing sheets - The facing sheet features a durable colour coating, a 3 layer PVDF (70% Kynar 500) 33 microns thick - Excellent weathering properties. • Superior flatness to other cladding products - ideal for creating smooth, monolithic surfaces • Light in weight, reducing frame lodgings - cost of fabrication and installation • High impact resistance • Resistant to extremes of weather exposure and temperature • Excellent UV characteristics • Acid, alkali, and salt spray resistant • Pollution resistant • Smooth paint finish and lacquering • Low resonance factor minimising unwanted vibration noise • Good thermal insulation • Fire performance Class 0 - Spread of flame Class 1 • Sharp detailing around windows and corners Clay tile cladding Temperature Resistance From -50ºC to +80ºC Temperature Expansion ofAluminium Cover Sheets 2.3 mm per linear meter for temperature difference of 100ºC ACM's polyethylene core provides a degree of insulation Slate cladding http://www.pilkington.com/applications/products2006/english/byapplication/commercial/CurtainWall/ http://www.euroclad.co.uk/products/rainscreen.html http://www.spacedecks.co.uk/products/architectural.html http://www.kingspanpanels.com/Products/Colour-Coated-Systems/Kingspan-Facade-FX
