ALUCOBOND® FaceFastened: Affordable and Stylish Cladding Solution for Modern Architecture

For more than 5 decades, Alucobond has been at the forefront of the development of metal facades. Recently, it launched a new variation – the Alucobond FaceFastened system. In this article, we look at different application possibilities of this system which is now also available from Alucobond Australia.

What is Alucobond FaceFastened?

Alucobond FaceFastened is high-performance architectural cladding used in a wide range of applications not only by cladding installers in Sydney, but all over Australia. With this cladding, architects can design and create a plank look for their projects while using Alucobond material.

What differentiates FaceFastened from other Alucobond cladding material is that it has oversized, exposed fasteners. These fasteners can be painted to either match the panel colour or be different from the panels, depending on the designer’s instructions. To give the plank-like look the panels are smaller in width and are available in extended lengths.

Special features, applications and pros

  • Alucobond Australia assists designers and installers in experimenting with the material on facades, soffits, canopies, roofs, column covers, and more.
  • Alucobond FaceFastened is versatile and can be used for exterior and interior cladding.

The system also requires very little maintenance.
  • The FaceFastened panels are, like all other Alucobond panels, fire-proof.
