Aluminium solid panels
How to choose the right aluminium panel for an exterior facade
Five decisions cover most of it: the alloy, the thickness, the coating system, the panel format and the fixing method. Thickness follows panel size and wind load rather than habit. The coating follows the climate, with fluorocarbon systems holding colour longer in high-UV and coastal exposure. Format and fixing are decided together, because a concealed fixing usually needs a deeper return and therefore a slightly heavier gauge.
Key points
- Thickness is selected against panel size and wind load, not chosen as a default
- Coating follows the exposure: fluorocarbon systems hold colour longer under high UV and salt
- Panel format and fixing method are decided together, since concealed fixings need deeper returns
- Alloy choice balances forming behaviour against the strength the panel geometry requires
The values below are the ones the factory publishes for this range. Anything outside them is quoted against your drawing rather than assumed.
