What do you know about composite facades?

Aluminium composite panel – Everything you need to know

What do you know about composite facades? It should be noted that one of the materials that is widely used for building facades is aluminum.

Aluminum has features
It is very popular for use in building facades.

The light weight of the aluminum and the flexibility and many other advantages of the aluminum have led to the use of aluminum for the facade of the building.

It is true that aluminum is technically very suitable for use in building facades
But in terms of beauty, it has also attracted a lot of people’s attention.

Aluminum can be combined with many other beautiful materials to create a beautiful view of the building.

According to the description of the aluminum facade, the composite facade is now produced, the main part of which is aluminum.

Composite facade for building facade in addition to being very efficient
And it also gives a special beauty to the facade of the building.

The structure and benefits of composite facades

The composite facade has two layers of aluminum, between which polyethylene is used.

These wall layers are made up of various thicknesses
It can also come in a variety of colors.

One of the advantages of composite facade is its high resistance of composite facade against strong winds
And it has a high resistance to all kinds of weather conditions.

Other advantages of composite facade include waterproofing of composite facade, sound insulation, non-flammability and simple cutting.

Composite facade capabilities

There are many reasons to use composite facades, which we will mention below.

Composite facade weight

Among the capabilities of the composite facade, we can mention its light weight. Composite facades weigh between 5 and 8 kg per square meter, which is much less than other materials used for building facades.

Insulation of composite facade against sound

The back of the composite sheets in the composite facade has an empty space, which makes the composite facade sound good insulation.

Flexibility in composite facade

The edges of the composite facade can be angled up to 135 degrees with the right tools, which is not possible for most materials such as stone and glass.

Paint in composite facade

Composite facade can have beautiful and various colors and with the latest technologies, they create the most beautiful colors on the composite facade. The paints must be of high quality on the composite so that they are not damaged by all kinds of weather conditions and industrial pollution.

Composite facade resistance to fire and earthquake

It is unlikely that this type of material will catch fire for the facade of the building, but even if it does, it will not pollute the environment. Also, because the composite facade is not permanently attached to the building, it reacts well to earthquakes during an earthquake, and the possibility of the composite facade falling during an earthquake is very low.

WHY HAS THE ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE MATERIAL SPREAD WIDELY IN THE ARCHITECTURAL FIELD?

Specifically, when is it appropriate to choose technological systems with aluminium composite panels for the construction of external facades?

After this overview of the characteristics and application technologies, the reasons why the aluminium composite material has had a remarkable success and a widespread use in the field of architecture, especially in the design of external facades, are easily understood.

AFFORDABILITY OF COMPOSITE ALUMINIUM PANELS

First, there is the cost-effectiveness. Composite aluminium panels for facades have a low market price and being quite light, they do not require many fixing points. This also leads to savings on the cost of installation labour.

LIGHTNESS AND EASE OF TRANSPORT

As just mentioned, the aluminium composite is classified as a light material. To be exact, aluminium has a specific weight of about 2.70 kg / dm3, while for ordinary steel we are around 7.80 kg / dm3. This means that aluminium is approximately 65% lighter than steel and this makes it perfect for external coating systems. Light, in this case it is synonymous with easy to handle: the aluminium composite modules, in fact, are easily manoeuvrable on site and easy to install.
