Shown in below comparisons, mechanical properties of 4mm exterior-class ALUCOMAT® is as rigid and strong as of traditional solid aluminium, steel, and/or glass cladding materials. And yet, unit weight is much lighter and therefore easier for fabrication and installation:
Factor | Solid Aluminium Cladding Panel | ALUCOMAT® Exterior ACM | Solid Steel Cladding Panel | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rigidity | Thickness | Weight | Thickness | Weight | Thickness | Weight |
0.125 | 2.7 | 7.3 | 3 | 4.5 | 1.9 | 14.8 |
0.24 | 3.3 | 8.8 | 4 | 5.6 | 2.4 | 18.7 |
0.59 | 4.5 | 12.2 | 6 | 7.3 | 3.2 | 25.0 |
1.11 | 5.5 | 14.9 | 8 | 9.1 | 4.0 | 31.2 |
Unit: E-J index kN x ㎡/m. Thickness mm. Weight kg/㎡.
properties which traditional cladding materials may be able to reach, ALUCOMAT® is undoubtedly therefore the lightest and most cost-effective solution for architectural and industrial cladding.
