Safeguarding ACM Cladding with WOW Pads – The Ultimate Protection Solution

Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) cladding is revolutionizing architectural aesthetics, providing sleek, modern facades that stand out in urban landscapes. Used in everything from commercial skyscrapers to contemporary residential buildings, ACM cladding combines beauty with functionality. However, the transportation and handling of these panels pose significant challenges, primarily due to their susceptibility to scratches, dents, and other transit-related damages. This is where Frank Lowe’s WOW Pads come into play, offering unparalleled protection to ensure these panels maintain their pristine condition from manufacturing to installation.

Why ACM Cladding Needs Protection: ACM cladding, while durable and weather-resistant once installed, is particularly vulnerable during transport and storage. The thin aluminum layers, although bonded to a sturdy core, can easily be compromised by impact or abrasive forces. This not only affects the aesthetic quality but can also compromise the structural integrity of the panels, leading to increased costs and delays in construction projects.

The Role of WOW Pads in Protecting ACM Cladding: WOW Pads are specially designed to address the unique needs of sensitive materials like ACM cladding. Here’s how they can make a difference:

  1. Surface Protection:

  2. WOW Pads provide a protective barrier between stacked cladding panels, preventing scratches and dents that can occur when panels rub against each other.

  3. Vibration Dampening:

  4. During transportation, vibrations are inevitable. WOW Pads absorb and dampen these vibrations, reducing the risk of damage caused by jostling and shaking.

  5. Easy Application and Removal:

  6. With their adhesive backing, WOW Pads are simple to apply directly to the cladding surfaces or packaging. They peel off easily without leaving residue, ensuring the panels are installation-ready upon arrival.

  7. Customizable Solutions:

  8. Frank Lowe offers WOW Pads in various sizes and thicknesses, tailored to the dimensions and protection needs of specific ACM cladding projects.

Applications of WOW Pads in ACM Cladding Projects: WOW Pads are versatile and can be used across multiple facets of the ACM cladding application process:

  • During Manufacturing: Protect the cladding surfaces as they move through the production line.
  • In Transit: Secure the panels during shipping to prevent movement and reduce impact.
  • Onsite Storage: Safeguard the panels until they are ready for installation, regardless of onsite conditions.
  • Installation: Minimize damage during the handling and actual installation process, particularly in high-traffic construction environments.
