Aluminium Composite Panels
Aluminium composite (also known as Alupanel) panels are a high-quality sheet material providing a stable background for photo mounting, screen printing and vinyl applications, and combine two materials in one panel – a polythene core and a 0.3mm aluminium polyester varnish. The combination of aluminium and the polythene core creates a practical and lightweight material that is malleable, yet stable in all weather conditions and can be easily fabricated to create a range of 2D and 3D designs.
Also known by the brand name Dibond, aluminium composite panels are a perfect solution for creating long-lasting, eye-catching signage, cladding or splashbacks that are guaranteed to gain attention. Aluminium composite sheets are resistant to weather, impact, and corrosion, making them perfect for continuous outdoor use and in interior design, advertising, partitioning, or exhibition stands.
Providing great thermal insulation and brilliant machinability, aluminium composite sheets are also an incredibly strong product that offers great impact resistance. Coupled with its dimensional stability, aluminium composite sheets exhibit limited expansion and contraction even under extreme temperatures.
With our cutting-edge technology, we can precisely tailor your aluminium composite sheets to your desired dimensions. Simply measure the areas where you intend on installing the sheet and we will deliver a perfectly cut flat sheet that aligns with your measurements and customisations. For added versatility, we can accommodate cutouts to seamlessly fit around plug sockets and light switches. Additionally, if you prefer to secure the sheet to the wall using nails, we can offer drilled holes.
ALUPANEL®
This formable panel is ideal for environments that experience high wear and tear. It features two sides - one with a satin finish and the other with a 75% gloss finish. The aluminium composite surface is smooth and flat, making it perfect for screen and digital printing, as well as vinyl lamination. This provides a clear and vibrant sign that effectively promotes your business or service.
ALUPANEL® Mirror
ALUPANEL® Mirror offers a highly impressive mirrored finish. Unlike traditional glass mirrors, it is completely shatter-resistant, making it a much safer option. It is also half the weight of a glass mirror, which makes it incredibly easy to install and therefore perfect for use as a kitchen splashback. However, it is important to note that the Alupanel Mirror finishes are only guaranteed for internal use.
Brushed Aluminium Composite
We offer a fantastic range of metallic brushed finishes in five different colours. These finishes are not only visually appealing but are also affordable, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a touch of elegance to their space. Our brushed aluminium composite is a single-sided product, meaning it is perfect for creating a stunning splashback in your kitchen or bathroom.
