METAL & ACM PANELS · Vancouver BC
Metal & ACM Panel Facades
Nixon installs 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 across Metro Vancouver, engineered as a drained and ventilated wall.
Metal & ACM panels in Vancouver deliver the flat, monolithic, architectural look designers specify for commercial and multi-family projects — and they only perform when the panel system is built as a proper rainscreen. Nixon fabricates and installs the panels, the sub-girt and clip framing, and the air/water barrier behind them so the facade is continuous, drained, and ventilated to BC Building Code.
Panel Systems We Install
Aluminum Composite Panels (ACM/ACP)
- Two aluminum skins bonded to a fire-rated (FR) core
- Routed-and-returned cassettes for crisp reveals
- Factory or shop-applied PVDF (Kynar) finishes
- Ideal for large, flat, modern facade fields
Solid Metal Plate & Sheet
- Solid aluminum, steel, and zinc plate panels
- Flat-lock, cassette, and standing-seam profiles
- Perforated and custom-fabricated feature panels
- Durable, dent-resistant accent and full-facade cladding
Concealed-Fastener Rainscreen Framing
- Aluminum sub-girt, hat-track, and clip systems
- Pressure-equalized, ventilated cavity behind panels
- Thermally broken clips to limit bridging
- Engineered attachment for wind and seismic loads
Trims, Reveals & Transitions
- Corners, reveals, soffits, and column wraps
- Panel-to-window and panel-to-glazing transitions
- Coordinated flashing, closures, and drip edges
- Mixed-material detailing with siding and glazing
Why Nixon for Panel Facades
Crisp, Flat, Modern Lines
ACM and metal plate give the clean, monolithic facade architects want. We set panels dead-flat with consistent reveals and true corners across the whole elevation.
Built as a True Rainscreen
The panels are the finish, not the waterproofing. We install the air/water barrier and a ventilated, pressure-equalized 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 that panel facades demand.
