Composite Facade Cladding

Composite facade cladding is built from panels with a polymer core sandwiched between two aluminium face sheets, fixed to the building facade on a support substructure. The air gap left between the panel and the wall contributes to a ventilated facade, helping to balance moisture and heat. Metalux measures, manufactures and installs both the substructure and the panels with its own team.

Where is it used?

The system suits residential and commercial building facades, the renovation of existing exteriors, and the identity facades of retail and office buildings.

Advantages

• Flat panels, or panels cut to different sizes, allow a range of facade compositions
• The air gap between substructure and wall gives a ventilated-facade effect
• Panel colour and surface texture are chosen from a wide range to match the project's identity
• Can be mounted over an existing facade, making it suitable for renovation projects

Things to consider

Substructure anchor points are engineered to suit the wall construction and local wind load. Panel joint gaps are designed to allow for thermal expansion. Fire-safety requirements should be assessed per project according to building height and facade area.
