Searching for Exterior source like ACM-Metal Look

Posted by Bunnie White at July 28. 2005

Greetings, I have found that my plan of using ACM may be out of budget. Is there any other material that will achieve that some appearance? ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) is used commonly on gas stations and car dealerships. The new look of the Nissan Dealers is the look I am trying to achieve. This material is applied in a grid pattern say 3x5 foot box and is a custom painted silver metallic finish. These boxes meet together and form the grid afore mentioned. They also use a ribbed panel alond the sides that I want also to employ in my project. If any one can recommend a similar material it would be greatly appreaciated.

Regards-Live Mod and Prosper!

Try www.Omegapanels.com - they have a lot of car dealerships and gas stations in their catalog.

They have a clipcaulk composite panel system that goes over ply sheathing and supposedly installs for $10-$12/s.f. They have several finishes including a variety of metallics.

Good luck!

What is your budget and time frame?I am currently working on a shipment from China.We are waiting for the architect to finish up some revisions.I've been thinking about bringing this material in to supply a need for the modern building materials market.-Alex

Thank you jefrussy, your suggestion is most appreciated. I have contacted the company and they are sending a sample packet for comparison. This looks like the same stuff...Thanks again! Yippee!

Thanks for your inquiry. Time frame not decided as of yet. And budget, it depends on if the product can be used on the existing home...or if it will be feesable to demolish the house and put up a new structure. It is all pivitol on the price of the material. The entire remodel job was going to run $350k...the demo was $25k...the new building-red iron wide expansion trusses and metal building build was going to run $75-$85 a square for off the rack...We want 4000 square feet ...so as you can see the budget needs a nudge in one of the two directions with the best results. Let me know what you end up doing ... and if an example of your product is available to view. Thanks!
