Aluminium Composite Panels – the best Choice for Modern Architecture

Because of the versatility of aluminium panels, architects are able to include them easily in modern architectural designs. The panels’ different characteristics enable architects to utilise them not only as cladding material, but also for various other purposes.

Let us discuss important characteristics of aluminium composite panels and have a look at some of the reasons for their popularity.

Aluminium composite panel

Two aluminium sheets form the outside layers of a composite panel. A base core between the two sheets completes the panel. People sometimes refer to an aluminium composite panel as an “aluminium sandwich”.

Usually, installers create facades with these panels, but, nowadays, architects and building designers are utilising the sheets in other ways as well.

Aluminium composite panels’ characteristics

Understanding why aluminium panels are so popular, one has to know more about their basic characteristics/properties.

  • They offer various finishes and colours.
  • A panel always keeps its properties and remains stable in any dimension.
  • It resists corrosion and general wear, and is impact-resistant.
  • It is easy to work with this lightweight material.
  • An aluminium composite panel is reusable, and is also infinitely recyclable.

Some reasons for their popularity

Modifiability

An increasing number of modern architects include aesthetic pleasing shapes in their building plans. Different shapes can be constructed successfully with aluminium composite panels because they can be folded, drilled into, bent, or perforated without losing their structural integrity. They also display various colours to create great aesthetic versatility.

Cost-effectiveness

Apart from the relatively low aluminium composite panels price compared to other panels, other construction costs are also kept low when aluminium panels are used. When aluminium cladding panels, for instance, are used other aspects where costs are cut include the following:

  • There are fewer fixation points as what is needed when using other materials and, thus, the cost of the material is lower.
  • With fewer fixation points, work can be completed quicker as when working with any other material. Thus, time is saved and labour costs are lower.
  • Maintenance expenses are very low.

Functionality

Although an aluminium panel is ideal for creating aesthetically pleasing shapes, it is manufactured to be extremely functional. In principle, aluminium panels are designed for thermal, sound, and wind insulation. Because they are also fire-resistant and exceptionally safe during earthquakes, they are applied where other materials are not suitable to use.

Assemble easily

Because aluminium composite panels assemble quickly and easily they are popular with architects and designers. Keeping within time schedules is an important aspect of building projects. By using these easy to use panels, projects are, usually, completed on time.

Conclusion

Architects often incorporate aluminium composite panels in their modern designs because the specific characteristics of these panels. According to many architects, these panels are, in most instances, the best choice for modern architectural designs.
