Unlike conventional honeycomb composite panels, the system components of ALUCORE® are bonded in a continuous process. The material does not become brittle-hard but shows tough and resilient properties and excellent peel strength – the basis for a high product quality. Planners, architects, and designers opt for ALUCORE® because it combines high mechanical properties – such as the tensile strength of the cover sheets – with outstanding processing and aesthetic features.

Thanks to continuous production process, large size panels up to the lengths of 9m are possible with extraordinary flatness. ALUCORE® can be easily fabricated with perfect details using ordinary tools. Hence a great variety of applications are possible. It is this characteristic which truly make ALUCORE® the ideal choice – not just for outdoor applications such as façade cladding, roofing, balconies, and shelters – but also for interior design such as creative ceilings.

In addition to its low weight and perfect flatness, ALUCORE® shows excellent weathering resistance. When it comes to surface finishing, only the highest quality lacquering systems with optimum resistance to weather and industrial pollution are used.

The standard core consists of aluminium foils from AlMn alloys (EN AW 3003).
Cell size B: approx. 6.3 – 19 mm.
The cover sheets of the ALUCORE^® panels consist of corrosion-resistant Peraluman alloys (AlMg) and may be used in a decorative or functional way, depending on the purpose of application

ALUCORE® has the following great properties:

• A large variety of colours and perfect flatness
• Low weight and extremely high rigidity
• High formability allows design freedom to architects and planners
• Vibration damping (no additional sound damping needed)
• Simple processing using conventional tools (e.g. for folding and bending)
• Allows smooth handling on-site, even with large size panels
• Low cost for substructures and fasteners
• Short construction time, adherence to schedules, low cost
• Excellent weather resistance

The combination of formability, flatness, stability and weather resistance characterises this incredible material.

Due to its composite structure, ALUCORE® can take on many different shapes. Think of it like a separate ‘skin’ that wraps around a building’s structure, adapting and flowing with its contours. However, this material’s perfect formability does not affect its stability and flatness – the high rigidity of the panel remains.

The composite structure of ALUCORE® means it has an impressive strength to weight ratio, even when compared to large panel sizes. Despite its low weight – which makes ALUCORE® easy to transport and handle – its rigidity helps maintain its shape and flatness, even when exposed to extreme temperature changes.
