Composite Panel · Uses
Ventilated facades, renovations, signs, awnings, balconies, columns, and interiors: where composite panels are used and which core and thickness are best suited for each application.
Where it is used
Aluminum composite panel can clad almost any surface: ventilated facades on new buildings, renovations without demolition, canopies and overhangs, slab edges, parapets and balconies, straight or curved column cladding, corporate branding for car dealerships, gas stations and supermarkets, and walls in shops, offices and homes. From one use to the next, three things change: the core, the thickness and the way the panel is fixed.
At StarModul we help you get that combination right from the start. We tell you which core the regulations require in your case (A2 where a non-combustible material is required, FR for most facades and PE only for signs and interiors), recommend a mounting system and machine every piece in our workshop: cut, milled, bent or curved, numbered and ready to install. We ship worldwide and install in Catalonia.
Where it is used
Lightweight, flat, and easy to machine, aluminum composite panels can be used for everything from cladding the facade of a residential building to making a store sign. What varies from one application to another is the core (A2, FR, or PE), the thickness, and the fastening system.
New construction featuring FR or A2 panels on an aluminum substructure, with insulation and an air cavity.

Frequently asked questions
Primarily for cladding ventilated facades, renovating facades, creating signs and signage, canopies, overhangs, columns, balconies, and commercial interiors.
Yes: on walls in homes, commercial spaces, and offices; in kitchens; on booths; and on furniture. In commercial spaces, offices, and near cooking areas, use the FR-core version; we do not recommend using PE near heat sources. It is easy to clean and can be installed without wet work.
It is not a waterproof roofing material. It is used for flashing, facades, and eaves, but the roof itself requires its own system (for example, roof sandwich panels).
Whether it's for a facade, sign, or interior, we'll help you choose the right panel and ship it to you pre-machined.
