Fire safety is one part of façade selection, not the whole equation.

Architects also have to weigh structural performance, moisture management, durability, attachment strategy, and constructability, often on the same wall system.

Working with a fabricator early helps balance all of it instead of solving for fire code and re-solving for everything else later.

A new patient tower can bring together a lot of moving pieces, including the exterior systems that help support the building’s design and performance.

For Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois, Americlad’s AC-97SC Louvers were featured on an eight-story, 326,000-square-foot patient tower completed to LEED Silver standards.

The project helped advance Advocate Healthcare’s mission of providing world-class care to local communities.

Fire performance deserves a place in the façade conversation, but it’s rarely the only consideration.

During Fire Prevention Week, we’re looking at what architects should keep in mind when specifying fire-resistant cladding, from the requirements themselves to how fire performance fits alongside durability, moisture management, attachment and constructability.

How do you bring metal into a façade built around curves?

Riverpoint Tower’s 52-story, 1,050,000-square-foot façade follows the bend of the Chicago River. AmeriClad complemented its curving green glass walls with aluminum plate wall panels, column covers, and miscellaneous brake metal.

Where do façade failures actually originate?

Look at the places where different components meet. Transitions, penetrations, joints, and flashing details can create gaps in the water-management path when they aren’t properly coordinated.

Brake metal flashing helps manage those transitions by directing water away from vulnerable areas and toward the intended drainage path.

What does a high-traffic public facility require from its façade?

At Duluth International Airport, the materials had to carry the design and hold up through years of constant use. Americlad delivered metal wall systems built for both.

Water finds its way behind a façade through the details...unless brake metal flashing gives it a controlled path out.

Proper geometry. Precise alignment. Clean fabrication. These details help direct water through the building envelope instead of letting it collect where it shouldn't.

Every detail matters when creating a cohesive building exterior. From composite panels and stainless steel column covers to custom trellises and sunshades, Americlad helped bring Cecil College's architectural vision to life through custom manufacturing solutions.

How do you let a building breathe without inviting the weather inside?

The answer depends on the louver design. Drainable louvers help minimize water intrusion, while wind-driven rain louvers provide additional protection in harsher environments, all while maintaining the airflow buildings depend on.

The materials chosen for healthcare construction need to do more than look good. They need to deliver lasting performance for the communities they serve.

Americlad's AC-3300 Aluminum Plate Panel System helped provide a durable exterior solution for Kaiser Permanente's seven-story LEED Platinum medical center in San Diego.
