AMERACORE

FR

Mineral-based fire-resistant core. The architectural-grade panel for buildings that must meet NFPA 285 and ASTM E84 fire codes — required at most building heights and in occupancy types where combustibility matters. Compatible with modern rainscreen systems.

PER SQ FT

AMERACORE® metal composite material is comprised of two sheets of architectural-grade aluminum bonded to a structural core — engineered for exceptional flatness, high peel strength, and the tight dimensional tolerances spec writers expect. Choose your core based on the building code requirements; both deliver the same fabricator-friendly performance.

AMERACORE

PE

Polyethylene core panel. The lighter, more economical option for low-rise applications, interior cladding, signage, column covers, and projects where fire-rated assemblies are not required by code. Same architectural finish quality and dimensional tolerances as FR.
