Materials & Systems

The systems that shape a commercial exterior.

What each material is, how it's used on commercial buildings, and how Urban Facade Group fabricates and installs it as part of a coordinated exterior scope.

Aluminum Composite Material (ACM)

Aluminum composite material is a flat panel made of two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a core material. It's fabricated into panels and routed, folded, or shaped to fit a building's facade, signage, or canopy geometry.

Aluminum Panel Systems

Aluminum panel systems use solid aluminum sheet, formed and finished for facade, soffit, or trim applications on a commercial exterior.

Architectural Metal

Architectural metal covers custom-fabricated metal components — canopies, structural sign supports, feature panels, and trim — built to a specific building or sign condition rather than supplied as a standard product.

Exterior Cladding Systems

Exterior cladding systems are the broader category of facade finish materials — ACM, aluminum panel, and related systems — considered together as the visible skin of a commercial building.
