Definition:

Rainscreens:

The principal features of a rainscreen system are an outermost arrangement of panels designed to shed water effectively and to provide the finished appearance. Behind the panels there will be a cavity to accommodate the supporting framework required for the panels, an air gap of at least 25mm and an insulated airtight backing wall.

The air gap is the primary feature of a rainscreen system and is designed to act as a pressure cushion to prevent water from reaching the insulation or backing wall, thereby negating the requirement to provide sealed joints.

Aluminium Composite Material (ACM):

ACM is a composite panel consisting of two aluminium sheets bonded to both sides of a low-density thermoplastic core. The result is a material that is exceptionally flat and lightweight, resistant to weather and impact damage and can be engineered into complex shapes and sizes. ACM sheets include Alucobond, Alucomat and Reynobond.
