Aluminium facade cladding: what are the options?
Metal facade cladding definitely belongs to the top materials in modern architecture. A facade with an aluminium look gives any building a sleek industrial look. Some of the most well-known types of metal facade cladding are copper, aluminium, stainless steel and zinc. Aluminium Composite Panels (ACPs), also known as sandwich panels, are also used quite often. But what’s the best solution if you’re looking for metal façade cladding?
Aluminium facade cladding: what are the options?
Metal facade cladding can be roughly divided into two categories. First of all, you have facade boards of pure aluminium, zinc, copper or stainless steel. These are light, pliable and easy to install. Unfortunately, they’re also relatively expensive and vulnerable to dents. Next to that, within some combinations corrosion may occur. For copper and zinc cladding, another issue is the potential danger for the environment when they come in contact with rain water.
Another type of metal facade cladding are composite panels, also known as sandwich panels. Aluminium Composite Panels (ACPs), for example, consist of two thin coil-coated aluminium sheets, bonded to core of other material. In many cases, plastics are used here, giving these panels a poor reaction to fire.
