What is Aluminum Composite Material?

Architectural metal wall panels have come a long way since their introduction nearly 50 years ago. Whereas stucco and brick or concrete used to be the material of choice for exterior walls, aluminum composite material panels have quickly gained popularity. Once dull and utilitarian, today’s composite metal panels are sleek and elegant and can be built to fit virtually any construction need. They are versatile and cost-effective - offering the performance and durability that modern designers, contractors, and owners demand when bringing building projects to life.

Aluminum composite panels typically consist of two aluminum sheets with a polyethylene core, providing strength while still being lightweight. They are available in a variety of shapes and appearances. For example, FABLOGIC panels are available in over forty standard colors and a virtually unlimited number of custom colors. Panels are also available in several textures and finishes including zinc, copper, stainless steel, wood grain, simulated stone, and brushed aluminum. Aluminum composite panels also offer an environmentally-friendly option for wall panels, as they are made from an average of approximately 85% recycled aluminum content.
