ALUCOLUX A1 — Solid Aluminium Panels
Description

The Alucolux A1 is a 3mm thick solid aluminium panel without a polymer core, and installed as part of a rainscreen cladding system. Developed from the optimum marine grade aluminium, Alucolux is the perfect combination of temper and hardness. Architectural cladding applications require the correct combination of these properties to perform when exposed to wind loads and pressure. Alucolux provides a non-combustible cladding solution for compliance and safety with no complications. Deemed non-combustible and certified to AS1530.1.

Alucolux A1 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.

Alucolux A1 is available in a wide range of colours, and is also available in embossed surfaces, wood and stone looks.
