Aluminium Honeycomb & ACCP Panels
ALUCORE® is an innovative aluminium composite panel consisting of two aluminium cover sheets and a core of aluminium.
ALUCORE® comes in 2 variants – ALUCORE® ACCP and ALUCORE® Honeycomb panels. ALUCORE® features marine-grade corrosion-resistant alloy 5005 H24 for durability. The PVDF/FEVE coating, as per AAMA 2605, ensures long-term performance and protection from UV radiation and weathering.
Why Choose ALUCORE® Aluminium Honeycomb Sheet
ALUCORE® stands out as a premier choice for cladding, offering distinct advantages over both traditional metal cladding options (such as aluminium, steel, zinc, copper) and non-metal alternatives like stone, tiles and High-Pressure Laminates (HPL). Its exceptional properties make it the ideal solution for demanding applications where top-tier performance is crucial. For architects seeking aluminium honeycomb panels that combine durability with modern design, ALUCORE® provides unmatched versatility.

ALUCORE® ACCP
ALUCORE ACCP, the Aluminium Corrugated Core Panel is a light weight cladding material with a corrugated
aluminium core sandwiched between two aluminium skins making it highly rigid. Devoid of any thermoplastic
core, it is perfectly suitable for projects with stringent fire regulations. ALUCORE ACCP offers unmatched flatness
enhancing the beauty of buildings. The panels are easily formable using common processing methods giving
architects flexibility to execute complex designs.
PRODUCT RANGE:
Panel Thickness: 4mm and 6mm
Width: 1250mm, 1500mm
Length: ≤6000mm
ALUCORE® Aluminium Honeycomb Sheet
ALUCORE® Aluminium Honeycomb Sheet is a unique panel with a honeycomb-shaped aluminium core embedded between two aluminium skins. The product is a true representation of an advanced sandwich composite. The ultra-low weight of the core and the increased distance between the cover sheets give it extra rigidity while keeping its weight extremely low. This results in an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio.
ALUCORE® Honeycomb panels therefore have a definite advantage when it comes to projects with high demands on material stiffness, such as facade cladding or roofing exposed to high wind loads, or for large self-supporting and even walkable roofs. These aluminium honeycomb panels offer both durability and aesthetic designs.
PRODUCT RANGE:
Panel Thickness: 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm
(other thickness available upon request)
Width: 1250mm, 1500mm
Length: ≤6000mm

Frequently Asked Questions about ALUCORE®
What is ALUCORE®?
ALUCORE® is a premium aluminium composite panel that uses an advanced aluminium honeycomb core instead of conventional fillers. These aluminium honeycomb panels are known for their high strength, lightweight structure, and long-term durability. They are ideal for architectural facade, transport, marine, and industrial projects where both performance and aesthetics are crucial.
What makes ALUCORE® different from traditional aluminium composite panels?
Unlike standard ACPs that use polyethene or mineral cores, ALUCORE® incorporates a bonded aluminium honeycomb sheet as its core. This design drastically reduces weight while significantly improving rigidity, impact resistance, and dimensional stability. The result is aluminium honeycomb panels that provide superior durability, fire safety, and structural reliability compared to conventional ACPs.
What are the available variants of ALUCORE®?
ALUCORE® is available in two main variants: ALUCORE® ACCP Panels (for architectural cladding and façade systems) and ALUCORE® Honeycomb Panels. In construction, aluminium honeycomb panels are preferred for facades, roofing, ceilings, canopies, and interior partitions because of their high load-bearing capacity, excellent dimensional stability, fire resistance, and lightweight structure. These properties ensure long-term durability and reduced structural load without compromising on aesthetics.
What is the significance of the marine-grade corrosion-resistant alloy 5005 H24?
ALUCORE® uses marine-grade alloy 5005 H24 in its aluminium honeycomb panels. This alloy provides outstanding corrosion resistance, making the panels highly reliable in humid, coastal, and industrial environments. It prevents rust and degradation while preserving structural integrity and aesthetic finish over the years.
What is the difference between ALUCORE® ACCP and ALUCORE® Honeycomb?
ALUCORE® ACCP Panels are designed for exterior cladding and facade applications, delivering durability and modern aesthetics. On the other hand, ALUCORE® aluminium honeycomb panels are ideal for construction projects that demand lightweight yet highly rigid materials, making them perfect for roofing, canopies, ceilings, and architectural facades where strength and long-term performance are essential.
Where can ALUCORE® panels be used?
ALUCORE® aluminium honeycomb panels are highly versatile. They can be used in architectural facades, roofing systems, canopies, ceilings, and cladding applications. With their strength, lightweight structure, and long-term durability, aluminium honeycomb panels are an ideal choice for modern construction projects requiring both performance and aesthetics.
Is ALUCORE® fire-resistant?
Yes, ALUCORE® is fire resistant because of the aluminium honeycomb core; they do not contain combustible fillers found in traditional ACPs. This makes honeycomb panels compliant with fire safety standards and a safe choice for high-rise buildings, public spaces, and transport projects.
Can ALUCORE® panels be customized in terms of size, colour, and finish?
Absolutely. ALUCORE® aluminium honeycomb panels can be customized to meet specific project needs. Options include tailored sizes, metallic tones, wood or stone finishes, and various surface textures. This flexibility allows architects to achieve the desired performance and look.
Does ALUCORE® meet international quality and safety standards?
Yes. ALUCORE® aluminium honeycomb panels are tested for fire resistance, weather durability, and mechanical strength. They meet globally recognized standards and building codes, ensuring long-term performance and safety trusted by architects and engineers worldwide.
What coating is applied to ALUCORE® for protection?
ALUCORE® panels are protected with high-quality PVDF or FEVE coatings. These finishes enhance resistance against UV rays, weathering, chemicals, and pollution. They also ensure long-term colour stability and a durable surface finish, making aluminium honeycomb sheets look visually appealing for decades.
