What is ACM cladding?

ACM stands for Aluminium Composite Material—panels made from two aluminium sheets bonded to a non-aluminium core. These panels are lightweight, strong, and weather-resistant, making them ideal for signage backdrops and architectural finishes.

Is cladding only used for outdoor signage?

While ACM cladding is most commonly used outdoors due to its durability, it can also be used indoors for branded feature walls, reception signage, or decorative panels.

Can cladding be customised to match my brand colours?

Yes, ACM cladding is available in a wide range of colours and finishes, including brushed metal, matte, gloss, and custom printed options. We also offer full-colour matching to ensure brand consistency.

Is ACM cladding weatherproof?

Absolutely. ACM cladding is engineered to withstand rain, wind, sunlight, and temperature changes. It's UV-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and built for long-term outdoor use.

Does cladding add structural strength to signage?

While ACM cladding itself is not structural, it provides an added layer of protection to your signage and gives it a more robust, finished appearance.

Can cladding be integrated with lighting or 3D signage?

Yes. Cladding pairs exceptionally well with LED backlit letters, lightboxes, and 3D fabricated signs. We design and install integrated systems that enhance both visibility and aesthetics.

How long does cladding last?

When installed professionally and maintained properly, ACM cladding can last 10–20 years or more, making it a smart investment for high-traffic business environments.

Do you offer cladding installation?

Yes. Millennium Signs offers full-service cladding solutions—from design and fabrication to professional on-site installation across Johannesburg and the greater Gauteng region.

Is cladding safe and compliant with building regulations?

We offer fire-retardant and safety-certified ACM options that comply with South African building and signage standards. Our team can advise on the best materials based on your project and location.
