ALUCOLUX® is a coil-coated solid aluminium panels widely used for architectural cladding worldwide.
ALUCOLUX® features a 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 the colour consistency of aluminium panels but also long-term durability and renders them non-combustible.
Unique patterns resembling the look & feel of a real wood and stone are also possible with ALUCOLUX®.
As an exterior and interior cladding panel, ALUCOLUX® offer versatility and durability in architectural applications. These lightweight and easy-to-install aluminium cladding panels are available in various textures and finishes making them an ideal choice for architects and consultants. Due to its ability to withstand extreme weather, solar radiation and pollution, ALUCOLUX® is mainly used as an exterior cladding panel for facades and soffits. They can also be used as interior cladding panels for accent walls, column cladding and decorative ceilings that add sophistication to any space.

ALUCOLUX® Product Range:
When designing and selecting cladding systems for buildings, understanding wind load and permissible panel sizes is important to ensure structural stability and longevity. Wind loads affect façade cladding, especially in high-rise buildings, based on their size, support system, and exposure conditions.
The diagram indicates the available range of panel sizes and permissible range lengths at a given panel width, depending on the wind load applied.
The diagram apply to panels supported on four sides (corners fixed). Dimensional values for other systems are available on request.
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.

Traditionally, the solid aluminium panels used for facade cladding are manufactured using the post-painting system, where mill-finished aluminium is first fabricated and then put through a batch-coating process with a 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 of aluminium cladding panels leads to an inconsistent thickness of the paint layer across the surface, resulting in colour inconsistencies. These do not qualify as non-combustible due to the thick paint layer on the panel surface. Such aluminium wall panels are usually classified as A2 and not A1, as per the EN 13501-1 test standard. They 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.
On the other hand, pre-coated aluminium panels have become a popular choice among architects and interior designers for interior, exterior and facade cladding due to several benefits they offer. The robust performance and modern aesthetic of aluminium wall cladding is widely used in commercial, residential and industrial buildings, offering excellent fire safety and durability, making it suitable for offices, factories, shopping malls and educational institutions.
We provide Aluminium panels in Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and worldwide. We proudly supply premium aluminium panels to projects worldwide, enhancing both beauty and functionality.
These PVDF/FEVE coated aluminium panels offer exceptional weather resistance ensuring long-term durability and performance. The high quality PVDF/FEVE coating is applied through a continuous industrial-grade coil-coating process conforming to stringent AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturer’s Association) 2605 performance specifications and ECCA (European Coil Coating Association) guidelines.
The alloy and temper used in the manufacturing of ALUCOLUX® is specifically chosen to ensure that the finished product has perfect flatness.
A non-combustible solid aluminium panel that has passed a larger system test BS 8414-1 and is classified as A1 as per EN 13501-1 test standard. This enables architects to offer non-combustible cladding solutions that could meet the most stringent fire safety requirements.
ALUCOLUX® is a solid and rigid aluminum panel, yet highly formable.
ALUCOLUX® wall cladding panels are available in a diverse range of metallic, solid and vibrant colours. Additionally, these pre-coated coloured aluminium sheets offer unique finishes such as embossed stone and wood look, further enhancing the aesthetic appeal and design versatility of any architectural project.
