Pre-Coated Solid Aluminium Sheet
ALUCODUAL® is a pre-coated engineered solid sheet comprising 2/3 layers of laminated aluminium sheet. This advanced composition ensures perfect flatness, which is often challenging to achieve with standard post-coated solid sheets.
The product undergoes a multi-coat, multi-bake process on a continuous industrial-grade coil coating line, utilizing the highest grade of fluorocarbon-based PVDF/FEVE paint system as per AAMA 2605 superior performance specification. This makes ALUCODUAL® an ideal ACP aluminium sheet for exterior use, offering long-term performance, weather resistance, and durability.

Fire-Retardant Aluminium Sheet for Wall Cladding and Soffits
In comparison to a single aluminium sheet of the same thickness, ALUCODUAL® panels offer enhanced stiffness and rigidity. This structural stability allows their use in larger cassettes and panels, effectively reducing the number of joints and overall costs. Additionally, the material’s flexibility makes it an excellent aluminium cladding sheet, suitable for achieving 3D shapes and complex geometric patterns in architectural applications.
One of the key features of ALUCODUAL® is its fire-retardant property. Since it doesn’t have a thermo-plastic core, it remains inactive in the event of a fire, emitting no toxic gases or burning droplets. It is classified as Class A2-s1, d0 according to EN-3501-1 test standard, making it suitable for projects with stringent fire safety requirements.
ALUCODUAL® is widely used for facades, wall cladding, soffits, column cladding, and decorative interior walls. From airports and stadiums to malls and residential buildings, it fulfils fire safety needs while maintaining design flexibility. Its premium quality makes it a reliable ACP aluminium sheet for architects and designers looking to create durable, safe, and visually striking facades.

During decades of use in a rear-ventilated cladding system,
ALUCODUAL® ACP aluminium sheet protects the building from weathering and the harmful effects caused by industrial and environmental pollution.
An external cladding system using ALUCODUAL® aluminium sheet acts as a barrier against solar radiation. The ventilated space between the aluminium cladding sheet and the wall or the thermal insulation reduces heat transmission.
The rear-ventilated cladding system using ALUCODUAL® aluminium sheet protects the wall of the building from high and rapid temperature changes. Moisture can pass through the wall, ensuring that the building structure remains dry, energy-efficient, and long-lasting
