What Is Composite Cladding?

Aluminium composite material (ACM) bonds thin aluminium sheets to a polyethylene or mineral core. The panels are light, available in deep colour palettes, and suit ventilated rainscreens or face-laid applications.

Key benefits

Low weight (4-8 kg/m²) reducing structure demand
A2 / mineral-core options for fire strategy
Wide colour and texture catalogue
Low maintenance facades
Fast site installation

Typical applications

Ventilated rainscreen facades
Refurbishment and over-cladding schemes
Commercial and residential exteriors
Interior architectural features
Brand-led building envelopes

Technical notes

Typical 3-6 mm overall thickness
PE or FR mineral cores
PVDF or polyester coil coatings
Performance declarations per project fire tier
CNC-cut panels to grid geometry

FAQ

Are composite panels fire safe?

Mineral / A2-rated cores meet stringent reaction-to-fire classes. PE cores can suit low-risk areas, specification must follow local code.

What service life should we plan for?

20-30 years is typical with correct sub-structure and cleaning cycles. PVDF finishes resist UV and staining best.

How is pricing structured?

Panel class, thickness, fire rating and quantity drive m² rates. Send drawings for a line-item estimate.
