THE PRODUCT

ALUCOLUX®is a coil coated solid aluminum panel used in architectural applications worldwide.

ALUCOLUX® features multi-coat, multi-bake process on a continuous coil coating line using the highest grade of PVDF/FEVE paint system. This process not only ensures colour consistency and long-term durability but also renders it non-combustible.

Unique patterns resembling the look & feel of a real wood and stone are also possible with ALUCOLUX®.

ALUCOLUX® offers versatility and can be used for façade cladding (exterior wall cladding) and curtain walls, interior wall cladding, decorative ceilings, column cladding (column decoration), and soffits.

LEED CERTIFICATION

The LEED program has gained much recognition over the past several years and is now the premier sustainability design tool in the building industry. LEED focuses on constructing buildings that have minimal impact on the environment during construction and occupation and acknowledges using recycled materials is an essential part of reducing environmental deterioration.

The solid aluminium panels used for cladding traditionally are manufactured using the post-painting system, where mill-finished aluminium are first fabricated and then put through a batch-coating process with spray or powder coating method. The batch-coating is done under a less controlled environment compared to the highly industrial coil-coating process.

Batch-coating leads to an inconsistent thickness of the paint layer across the surface resulting in colour inconsistencies on the panels.

Batch-coated or powder-coated panels fail to qualify as non-combustible due to the extra thickness of the paint coat on the surface. They are usually classified as A2 and not A1 as per EN 15501-1 test standard.

Batch-coated panels also face limitations in terms of panel sizes, the variety of colours and surface finishes thereby limiting designers’ choices

Moreover, there are 2 to 3 different vendors involved in getting the final product ready, resulting in a split accountability towards quality.

Made To Measure (M2m) & Ready To Install (R2i)

  • M2M panels which comes in fl at panel form can be folded and fi xed on site.
  • R2I panels which comes in a folded cassette form already fi xed with accessories and can go directly to the job site to be installed.
  • Both M2M and R2I options are available in perforated and non-perforated panels.
  • 3D, Curved, or folded panels can be made based on customer’s design requirements.

Below are some examples of how ALUCOLUX® can be fabricated at our plant, thereby providing savings on wastages and reducing the overall cost for the project.
