Aluminum Panel Systems

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

Appearance & Finish

Solid aluminum panel is chosen where a specific finish, durability profile, or fabrication detail calls for solid metal rather than a composite panel — often at entrances, canopies, and trim conditions.

Commercial Applications

  • Entrance canopies and soffits
  • Trim, reveals, and transition details between cladding types
  • Sign returns and structural sign components

Fabrication

Solid aluminum is formed, welded, or fastened depending on the detail — generally more labour-intensive to fabricate than composite panel, which is why it tends to appear at specific high-detail conditions rather than across an entire facade.

Installation & Project Coordination

Installed alongside ACM and architectural metal scopes so panel systems, trim, and structural elements read as one coordinated exterior rather than mismatched finishes.

Frequently Asked

When is solid aluminum panel used instead of ACM?

Solid aluminum is typically specified for details that need to be formed, welded, or handle more structural or wear demands than a flat composite panel — canopies, trim, and sign returns are common examples.
