Composite panels as a facade cladding system: What they are and why they are used<\/h2>\n

Composite panels<\/a> are one of the fastest-growing facade cladding systems in Europe since they became popular in the 2000s. Their expansion went hand in hand with the development of sheet composite material, a sandwich-type material consisting of three layers: two outer sheets of aluminum or steel and a central core that bonds the two sheets together (for facades, FR or A2). <\/p>\n

Thanks to the milling process, this type of composite sheet can be bent at virtually any angle, opening up a wide range of design possibilities for building facades.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between a composite tray and a flat panel?<\/h2>\n

The difference between a standard composite panel and a tray is structural. The tray has concave edges along its entire perimeter, allowing for concealed installation on the subsystem\u2019s hangers without fasteners visible from the outside. The result is a cleaner, more visually uniform facade compared to a system of panels with exposed fasteners. <\/p>\n

The trays can be manufactured on-site using hand-held milling tools or in a factory under quality control, resulting in greater precision and consistency in the final product.<\/p>\n

Advantages of Composite Panels for Facade Cladding<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • \n –<\/span>
    \n Durability:<\/strong> Long service life, which depends primarily on quality installation. No repainting or additional treatments are required during its service life. <\/span>\n <\/li>\n
  • \n \u2022<\/span>
    \n Quick installation:<\/strong> They are mounted on subsystem hangers without the use of liquid mixtures or wet processes, which significantly speeds up on-site installation.<\/span>\n <\/li>\n
  • \n \u2022<\/span>
    \n Fire resistance:<\/strong> with an FR core (very limited contribution to fire spread, B-s1,d0), they are suitable for most facades; with an A2 core (non-combustible, A2-s1,d0), for the most demanding applications, depending on the class required by the CTE based on the building\u2019s height.<\/span>\n <\/li>\n
  • \n \u2022<\/span>
    \n Reduced weight:<\/strong> The use of aluminum minimizes the load on the facade and simplifies transportation and handling, which is particularly important in high-rise buildings.<\/span>\n <\/li>\n
  • \n \u2022<\/span>
    \n Aesthetic versatility:<\/strong> the finishes allow for the imitation of different surfaces, and through digital printing, it is possible to transfer custom images or patterns directly onto the material.<\/span>\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
