Solid aluminium panels are a versatile solution for modern architectural and commercial projects. From façades and exterior wall cladding to interior linings, signage and commercial fit-outs, solid aluminium offers designers and fabricators a durable and workable material with a wide range of finish options.
What Are Solid Aluminium Panels?
Solid aluminium panels are manufactured from aluminium throughout their thickness. Ai Panel® is manufactured from 5052 marine-grade, H32-tempered solid aluminium. It can be cut, routed, folded, drilled and fixed, making it suitable for architectural, signage, shopfitting and custom fabrication applications.
Key Features of Solid Aluminium Panels
