ACM Cladding Replacement

Trident Facades provides ACM cladding replacement services where an existing aluminium composite material cladding system needs to be replaced as part of a façade remediation project.

Replacement involves more than installing new panels. The complete external wall system, including insulation, support systems, cavity barriers, fire stopping and interfaces, needs to be considered.

When Is ACM Cladding Replacement Required?

ACM replacement may be required where the existing system cannot achieve the required fire safety, performance or durability.

The appropriate solution depends on the construction and condition of the existing façade, the findings of any assessment and the requirements of the remediation strategy.

Designing The Replacement Façade

Replacement cladding needs to work as part of the complete external wall system rather than as a simple panel substitution.

The replacement design can consider:

  • Fire performance
  • Thermal performance
  • Weather resistance
  • Durability
  • Structural requirements
  • Support systems and fixings
  • Cavity barriers and fire stopping
  • Windows, balconies and other interfaces
  • Drainage and weathering
  • Maintenance requirements

The replacement system may use a different cladding material where this is appropriate to the building and remediation requiremen

ACM Removal And Replacement

Where the existing ACM system is being fully replaced, the project can follow:

Investigation → Strategy → Design → Removal → Preparation → Installation → Completion

Our ACM Cladding Removal Service covers the controlled removal of existing ACM and associated components.

Where required, our dedicated survey team, Trident Facades Surveys, can undertake investigation and opening-up to establish the existing wall construction before replacement works proceed.

ACM replacement can be delivered as part of a wider remediation project or as a standalone replacement package.
