Material Information
Why use ACM?
- Limitless custom design and easy field modification.
- Excellent manufacturing tolerances combined with re-design potential.
- Crisp, one-piece corners.
- Color durability.
- Excellent module flexibility.
- Concealed fasteners.
- Low panel weight reduces framing costs.
- Short manufacturing and fabrication times.
- Lower price.
- Radiused Panels.
- Aluminum skin never rusts.
- No tendency to blister, bubble or delaminate.
- Aluminum panels reduce the risk of paint failure in humidity and salt atmospheres.
Why use Trespa Meteon?
- Highly weather resistant.
- Large Panel Size (up to 7' sheet widths).
- No mold due to continuous airflow between cladding and because of the use of non-microbial surface finishes.
- Air Flow behind the system helps to prevent moisture penetration by maintaining equal air pressure behind cladding with the ambient outside air pressure. Air flow also helps regulate the temperature of the building.
- Can be router cut to form reveals to simulate small panels, by using less expensive large panels.
- The only panel material cured by using a patented electron beam technology (Electron Beam Curing).
- UV resistant (colorfast).
- Increases energy efficiency.
- Adds decades to the life of a structure.
- Impact, scratch and graffiti resistant.
- Withstands extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Over 300 unique colors and textures.
Why use Zinc?
- The look of a natural metal, without wild swings in appearance
- Textural appeal
- Very low life-cycle costs
- 90 to 100% recyclable
- Less “embodied energy” than steel or aluminum
- Self-healing, with a naturally developing patina surface
