Thank you for using aluminum composite material for cladding. After seeing it used in commercial construction, I've been fascinated/fixated for some time about ACM, and have it earmarked to use on a (hopeful) future build. Thank you for detailing your construction techniques using ACM.
I may have missed it but could you say what thickness ACM you used please? (3mm?)
Hi Tom (& Linda),
The ACM we used is 4mm. 3m x 1.5m sheets for the sides and 4.8m x 1.5m for the top. They are ready painted, which saved us a lot of time in the finishing with the limited time frame we had. This will tell you about the one we used.

We're in the States, and we've been to Tauranga. Small world, eh?
Nice looking, and QUICK build. I'm impressed!

Thanks for the comments.
You sure are right, it is a small world. You should try Whangarei some time.
Cheers Frank.
