4 Tips To Protect ACM Metal Panels During Construction      | CLEARVIEW Cladding Concepts

ACM metal panels are an excellent product for commercial and residential construction. They’re durable, easy to install, and have an aesthetically pleasing appearance with a wide range of colors and textures. However, there are several ways that ACM metal panels can be damaged during the construction process. If you’re considering using these products in your next project or are already doing so but want to make sure nothing goes wrong, here are some tips on how you can protect your ACM metal panels:

Store ACM Metal Panels In A Dry Place Prior To Installation Or On The Job Site

When you’re ready to install ACM metal panels in your building, it’s important to keep them dry. Moisture can damage the panels and make them less effective at insulating your building, so you want to store them in a dry place before installation. There are a few different ways you can do this:

· A good idea might be to store ACM metal panels in a location where they won’t get wet or damp for any reason during construction. This might mean storing them on-site somewhere safe and secure until it’s time for installation work to begin (or if they’re being used as part of the building’s permanent structure).

· You could also keep the ACM metal panels under some cover or tarpaulin that keeps rain away from their surfaces without causing condensation buildup.

Stack ACM Metal Panels With Flat Sheets As Base And Corrugated Sheets On Top

The most important thing is to stack the ACM metal sheets to allow airflow, drainage, and easy access.

Stack the flat ACM metal panels as the base of your stack, with corrugated sheets on top. This way, your assembly will provide a flat surface for tacking and nailing. The corrugated sheets should be stacked above the flat ones to create space for cutting into them later on without damaging the underlying panel.

Slant End Supports Every 8 Feet To Allow Condensation To Drain Off

To prevent damage and corrosion of ACM panels, it is best to provide slant end supports every 8 feet (2 m) on the walls, columns, and beams. In addition, this allows water that drips down from a roof during rainstorms to be drained away at the bottom of the panel before it can enter into an ACM panel’s joints or seams, where it can cause corrosion problems or even leach into insulation layers below.

Use Temporary Fencing To Secure The Perimeter Of The Job Site

To ensure your ACM metal panels are protected from damage during construction, use temporary fencing to secure the perimeter of the job site. This will help prevent damage caused by vehicles or workers who don’t know that these panels need to be handled with care.

You can also use barriers to prevent damage to ACM metal panels. For example, if you’re working with a contractor who is installing windows over an existing roof, make sure they place plywood under each window before nailing it into place. This will minimize any risk of cracking or peeling on top-side paneling and keep your home looking beautiful!

Conclusion

We hope the tips we’ve laid out in this blog post will help you to protect your ACM metal panels throughout the construction process. Remember, these panels are very delicate and expensive, so it is crucial that they are handled with care.
