Alpolic composite panels are lightweight, rigid and super flat, allowing easy fabrication for both exterior and interior applications. Alpolic ACM consists of a non-combustable mineral filled core between two aluminium sheets with a fluorocarbon paint coating, available in a range of colours and finishes.
Aluminium Panel Systems (APS)
Aluminium Panel Systems are high quality, lightweight cladding that offers versatility and style, broadening the design options available to builders designers and architects. Stratco Aluminium Panel Systems are easy to install, extremely durable and low maintenance making them a cost effective architectural solution.
Aluminium Composite Panel
ACP consists of two 0.5mm Aluminium Skins that sit outside a fire rated Mineral Core, producing a perfectly flat and smooth sheet material with highly versatile characteristics. ACP is suitable for both internal and external cladding applications. ACP deliers the rigidity and robustness of heavier sheet metal in a lightweight material that is easily machined and produced in a cost effective manner.
Aluminium Laminated Panel
Aluminium Laminated Panel appears exactly the same as our traditional composite aluminium panels (ACP). However, the advanced technology of Aluminium Laminated Panel is that it is constructed from a completely aluminium-stamped structure, rather than combustible materials. With no composite materials present, it is designed for durability, weatherability and fire resistance and is extensively tested to meet all requirements of the New Zealand building code. Aluminium Laminated Panel is an excellent choice for external wall claddings on commercial, industrial and high-rise buildings, as well as internal linings.
Solid Aluminium Panel
Solid Aluminium Panel is a 100% non-combustible cladding solution for compliance and safety with no complications. Deemed non-combustible and certified to AS1530.1. Solid Aluminium Panel is a durable, high impact resistant panel that provides solutions for architects, designers, developers, builders and construction companies looking for a premium solid aluminium façade panel they can safely specify for commercial, educational, aged care and residential projects without compromising design.
