See how wind-tested aPlank aluminum cladding supports project requirements through ASTM E330, TAS 202 and TAS 203 performance documentation.

Explore how exterior aluminum battens use modular profiles, concealed attachment and varied depths to support clean, integrated facade design.

PVDF and polyester coatings offer different levels of weathering performance for aluminum facades. This article compares where each makes sense and what project teams should verify before specifying a finish.

aPlank extruded aluminum panels support IBC-compliant exterior wall strategies with noncombustible material performance, tested structural capabilities, and coordinated subframing for commercial facade applications.

ASTM E136 establishes whether a cladding material meets noncombustibility criteria, but it does not confirm complete wall-assembly performance. This guide explains how to review the documentation and distinguish it from ASTM E84 and NFPA 285.

Explore how grain variation, profile geometry, plank proportions, joints, and finish selection shape wood-look aluminum facades.

Explore how profile geometry, orientation, finishes, joints, and support-system choices translate an aluminum facade concept into a clear, buildable architectural expression.

Compare AAMA 2605, 2604, and 2603 requirements and select the right aluminum coating standard for project exposure and service life.

An overview of how aPlank aluminum cladding systems address coating standards, finish performance, durability, maintenance, and lifecycle requirements across commercial and institutional facades.

NFPA 285 applies to the complete exterior wall assembly, not the cladding alone. This brief outlines what the test covers and what specifiers should verify in the supporting documentation.
