Aluminum Composite Panel Cladding
Aluminum Composite Panel Cladding is a façade cladding system applied by covering a steel sub-construction with panels made from composite material through bending processes. A system where it is applied in a key-lock hanging style is also available. These sandwich panels, with aluminum metal as the outer shell and composite construction material as the inner structure, add a modern appearance to buildings’ façades while offering lightweight, ease of application, and metallic properties, making them a preferred choice.
Aluminum composite panels have various fire ratings. They come in classifications such as B1 and B2 (fire-resistant) or A1 (non-combustible). The thickness of the outer aluminum layers typically ranges from 0.30, 0.40, to 0.50 mm in general use. These thickness variations affect the panel’s durability and result in price differences. Additionally, they offer an extensive color palette and specialized finishes such as wood cladding. You can download all aluminum composite panel color options from here.
Composite panels offer significant flexibility in dimensions and sizes. While the sheets are typically produced in standard dimensions on the production line in composite panel factories, they can be easily resized during the cutting process by factories like ours, which manufacture composite panels ready for installation.
After the cutting process, a jointing operation is applied to create the gaps, called joints, between the panels, making them easy to install at the construction site. In recent years, composite cladding for villas and stores has seen significant demand.
