Metal & ACM Panels in Downtown Vancouver
Aluminum Composite & Solid Metal Panel Facades · Concealed-Fastener Systems
Nixon Exteriors provides metal & acm panels in Downtown Vancouver, serving homeowners and property managers across Coal Harbour, Yaletown, Gastown, Chinatown and surrounding neighbourhoods. We fabricate and install aluminum composite (ACM/ACP) and solid metal panel facades on concealed-fastener rainscreen systems — the crisp, flat, modern cladding you see on commercial buildings, mixed-use podiums, and strata towers. Downtown's wind-tunnel effect between towers and coastal rain exposure requires windows with enhanced wind ratings and superior weatherproofing for high-rise safety — so the panels, the sub-girt framing, and the air/water barrier behind them are all built as a continuous, drained and ventilated wall. Windows, doors, and cladding are handled by one accountable crew, with $5M liability coverage and WorkSafeBC compliance on every job.
Why Downtown Vancouver Chooses Nixon Exteriors for Metal & ACM Panels
Windows, doors, and cladding handled by one accountable contractor — every layer of the wall detailed as a continuous system.
We deliver metal & acm panels on high-rise condominiums, heritage buildings, commercial storefronts throughout Downtown Vancouver. Downtown Vancouver's dense building environment creates unique installation logistics — our team has extensive experience with restricted-access and high-rise projects above 20 storeys.
Downtown's wind-tunnel effect between towers and coastal rain exposure requires windows with enhanced wind ratings and superior weatherproofing for high-rise safety. We specify the metal & acm panels detailing that handles those exact conditions.
Because Nixon installs the windows, flashing, and cladding, your Downtown Vancouver project is detailed as one continuous, warrantied system — no gaps between trades.
How We Approach Metal & ACM Panels
Crisp, Flat, Modern Lines
ACM and metal plate give the clean, monolithic facade architects want, set dead-flat with consistent reveals and true corners.
Built as a True Rainscreen
The panels are the finish, not the waterproofing. We install the air/water barrier and a ventilated cavity behind every panel so the wall drains and dries.
Commercial & Strata Experience
From mixed-use podiums to strata towers, we handle the sub-girt engineering, panel fabrication, and coordination with glazing.
