The truth and safety of world-class aluminium composite panels
For a cladding product that provides excellent thermal performance, along with a host of other desirable characteristics, designers and specifiers should opt for a mineral core aluminium composite cladding solution.
Aluminium composite cladding is an umbrella term for a range of cladding products, and the flammable component responsible for the cladding fires was the 100% polyethylene core at the centre of the cladding. For a cladding product that provides excellent thermal performance, along with a host of other desirable characteristics, designers and specifiers should opt for a mineral core aluminium composite cladding solution.
