Metal Composite Wall Panels for MCM and ACM Applications

Petersen’s PAC-CLAD metal composite wall panel system, also known as MCM or ACM panels, delivers design flexibility and high performance for commercial and retail applications. These metal composite panels feature durable aluminum faces bonded to advanced core materials, creating lightweight, rigid exterior wall panel systems with clean lines and consistent reveals. PAC-3000 systems offer rout-and-return and rainscreen options for precise detailing, while PAC-4000 field-assembled systems support large-format panels and efficient installation. Together, these ACM panel systems provide durable exterior cladding solutions with broad aesthetic versatility.

PAC-CLAD offers multiple metal composite material wall systems (MCM/ACM panels) that expand design flexibility while delivering durable, high-performance exterior cladding for commercial and retail buildings. PAC-CLAD MCM panel systems provide architects with a range of fabrication methods, installation approaches, and visual expressions to meet diverse project needs.

The PAC-3000 CS system utilizes a rout-and-return fabrication process with computer-controlled routing equipment to ensure tight tolerances and accurate panel dimensions. These aluminum composite panels feature aluminum face and back skins bonded to a polyethylene or fire-retardant core and are installed using staggered angle clips that allow for individual panel adjustment.

The PAC-3000 RS rain-screen system eliminates the need for caulk, creating clean, consistent reveals and a floating installation. These metal composite material (MCM/ACM panels) are available in a wide range of finishes and colors. Perimeter extrusions nest into an extruded track attached to the substrate, allowing panels to move independently while maintaining a refined architectural appearance.

The PAC-4000 series expands composite wall panel options with field-assembled systems designed for larger panel sizes and efficient installation. These ACM panel systems combine aluminum composite materials with robust cores and flexible fabrication options, making them well-suited for large-scale façades, accents, and contemporary architectural designs.

Together, Petersen’s PAC-3000 and PAC-4000 aluminum composite wall panel systems provide a comprehensive toolkit for architects seeking performance, flexibility, and visual impact.
