aPlank aluminum rainscreen systems deliver Miami-Dade approved performance for projects requiring proven wind resistance, weather durability, and reliable code compliance.

aPlank and NVLP Materials recently presented to leading Dallas architecture and construction firms — covering the real performance differences between AAMA 2605 and 2604 coatings, how custom aluminum extrusion dies are engineered, and why 3D-printed prototypes are changing the economics of facade design.

aPlank recently hosted an AIA-accredited Lunch & Learn at Frank Seta & Associates, diving into how aluminum rainscreen systems can deliver non-combustible performance, wood-look design flexibility, and pre-engineered detailing — without compromising constructibility.

Learn aluminum facade installation best practices, system guidelines, detailing tips, and how to avoid common facade installation errors.

Learn how aluminum facades support LEED certification through sustainability, durability, and performance in modern green building projects.

Discover how aluminum facades perform across climates, including coastal, marine, and extreme environments, and how to choose the right system.

If you’re looking to boost your building’s efficiency and sustainability, it’s worth considering how aluminum facades can work hand-in-hand with solar technologies. One standout solution is building-integrated photovoltaics, or BIPV.

Parametric design is a creative process that uses algorithmic thinking to set up specific parameters and rules, which together shape the relationship between what you want your design to accomplish and how it actually comes together. In architecture, this means designers can play with complex shapes, patterns, and facade elements simply by tweaking certain variables in a digital model.
