Materials
As part of the shopping center’s 2015 makeover, 25,000 square feet of Omega-Lite ACM panels in Slate Grey were installed as cladding using the manufacturer’s proprietary Clip & Caulk installation system.
Omega-Lite ACM panels offer a decorative and durable surface finish for exterior wall surfaces. Composed of a polypropylene, lightweight corrugated core between two finished aluminum sheets, these panels are non-absorbent, water-resistant and easy to maintain. The Clip & Caulk installation system provides a rout and return look without prefabricating the panels, reducing the total installed cost and project timeline. It provides a flat look without visible fasteners. Panels can be cut onsite with few peripheral accessories needed for installation.
Omega-Lite installed with the Clip & Caulk system guarantees Harbison Court a Class A fire rating, as well as meets NFPA 285, Miami-Dade County Product Control and Florida Product Approval requirements.
