Cladding

Aluminium composite panel cladding is a sheet product with a core bonded between two thin aluminium skins, fixed to an aluminium substructure. It is light, can be routed and folded into curves and arches, and covers large elevations economically, which is why it appears so often on station entrances, fascias, and signage-bearing surfaces.

Cladding is an opaque or partly opaque skin that covers structure and sheds weather. Structural glazing is a transparent envelope where glass forms the visible surface and admits light. Most elevations use both, and Atom Structures delivers them as a single coordinated package so the junction between the two is detailed by one team.

Yes. The aluminium or steel substructure, brackets, fixings, drainage detailing, and sealing are all part of the cladding package. Panel and substructure are designed together, since the substructure is what holds the elevation flat.

Panel material and finish, the substructure the elevation needs, joint and drainage detail, the height and access method, and the amount of non-standard profiling such as curves and returns. Pricing is quoted against the approved drawing and specification.
