..there are a number of functional reasons what Alubond can provide for every home and building. One of the façade material that by its wide use can be observed, both here and in the world, is Alubond.
Alubond is a good thermal insulator which reduces the cost of heating in winter and cooling in summer, and is especially of significance as these facades not need any special maintenance because they are extremely resistant to weathering.
Alubond is a very lightweight material, is actually a composite assembly. It is made from two aluminum sheet thickness of 0.5 mm, which is a special process certain polyethylene masses merge into thick slabs 3, 4, 6 and 8.
Alubond facades belong to the group of cluster facades. The basic structure consists of aluminum sheets placed on both sides with polyethylene (PE) core integrated in the sandwich panel continuous co-extrusion process. Specificity of production and material used for making Alubond allow the sealing of flat, twisted, curved, horizontal, vertical and other areas, which is one of the leading reasons why these facades encountered so widely used.
Additionally, the advantage of Alubond panels is very simple and easy to process. The panels are formed so as to overlap the sides of 3 cm, thus creating a tape with an airspace, which are fixed to aluminum angles mounts facade. The load-bearing aluminum substructure is attached to the existing concrete wall and transferred all loads with Alubond panels on the wall. Panels can be slim, since their primary function is not transmitting external thermal insulation than the load.
Factory panels can be tailor, bend and connect to the cassettes of different sizes and shapes to accommodate the different requirements of the buildings. Compared to board materials that had so far a dominant application, alubond is 1.6 times lighter than aluminum and as much as 3.4 times lighter than steel. Alubond panels can be processed by cutting grooves, drilling, punching, engraving, arching, then bending angles with the use of various tools machining. Alubond facades is one of the fire-resistant and meets the requirements against fire class B2 according to DIN 4102. It has a thermal dilation of 2.70 mm at the temperature difference of 100 oC and 1mm / m for a temperature difference of 50 oC.
