Aluminium composite panels
Aluminium composite panels (ACP) are cladding panels with a thin layer of aluminium fixed on both sides. The boards are stiffened on the inside by a thermoplastic polyethylene resin or a refractory layer.
Decorative tiles can be used both outdoors and indoors.
Warranty on coating up to 40 years
Easy to clean
Resistant to UV radiation, moisture and chemicals
We represent the brandE:
Decorative tiles, for outdoor and indoor use.
Aluminium composite tiles are finishing tiles with a thin layer of aluminium fixed on both sides.
Between the layers there is a mineral fire retardant layer of either class B-s1,d0 or A2 (according to EN 13501-1).
Our range of composite tiles includes:
The outer layer is usually coated with a highly durable PVDF paint, anodising or some other interesting finish.
It is also possible to produce so-called chameleon surfaces , i.e. tiles coated with a multi-layered chameleon paint that changes colour when viewed from different angles.
Advantages of aluminium composite board

Aluminium composite board is an excellent decorative material for indoor and outdoor use.
Weight
Light weight, which reduces the time needed to process composite panels, as well as facilitating and speeding up the assembly of panels on objects.
With 30-50% less weight than conventional metal panels, composite panels reduce the load on the load-bearing elements of architectural structures.
Weatherproofing
Warranty on the coating up to 40 years. Resistant to UV rays, moisture and various chemicals, salts, etc.
Fire safety
Panels available in both Bs1,d0 and A2 reaction to fire classes.
Composite panels filled with a special fire-resistant material are offered for use in areas with increased fire risk.
Shape retention and maintenance
Composite board has a high dimensional stability – the boards do not warp, are perfectly straight and smooth.
Bending does not crack the outer covering of the sheets. The panels will not deform to any lesser extent in windy or sunny conditions.
After a few years of use, the panels can be easily cleaned with neutral detergents and water.
Alucoil colour range
Aluminium composite panels can be produced in a wide range of different colours, and it is also possible to produce ‘chameleon’ surfaces, i.e. panels coated with a multi-layered chameleon paint that changes colour when viewed from different angles.
In addition, we also offer copper, brass, patinated copper, stainless steel and zinc-coated composite plates.

Rotermanni R18
As a contemporary architectural landmark, the Rotermann Quarter is distinguished by its exclusive new buildings, to which we have also contributed. ALUCOIL aluminium composite panels have been used as façade materials for the red and gold houses. The colour scheme of the façade (see also the post: “What colour façade to choose?“) is distinctive, and stands out to passers-by with both night-time lighting and daytime sun.
The shade used is “Alucoil Sparkling Antracite Grey“.
The gold and red houses were completed in 2017 by the main contractor Nordecon AS.

Aluminium composite panels can be fixed in several ways:
A variety of materials can be used for the base frame. The aluminium frame is definitely the preferred choice due to its cost, ease of machining and durability (strong and corrosion resistant). Stainless steel, painted steel and sometimes wood can also be used if the requirements for the building frame are not very high. Depending on the frame, a fixing solution must be chosen.
A variety of materials can be used for the base frame. The aluminium frame is definitely the preferred choice due to its cost, ease of machining and durability (strong and corrosion resistant). When choosing the thickness of the frame, it is important to ensure that there is at least 20mm of air space between the tile and the base. More for higher buildings.
Stainless steel, painted steel and sometimes wood can also be used if the requirements for the building frame are not very high.
Depending on the frame, a fixing solution must be chosen:
In the case of blanket fixings, it is necessary to install a special suspension system on the tile, taking into account the size of the tile, its weight, wind load and other external factors.
In the case of bonding, be sure to install the aluminium frame and work in warmer conditions. The installer must be experienced and, preferably, must have undergone appropriate training.
In the case of through fixings, the fixings must be installed at least 20 – 50 mm from all edges. In the centre of the tile, or on smaller tiles, there shall be one fixed fixing per tile on one of the longest edges, and all other fixings shall be movable. The diameter of the rivets used is min 4,8mm. Wide-headed fasteners must be used so that the movement of the plate due to expansion is not visible later. A special fastening technique must also be used to ensure that the fasteners are not too tight and prevent the tile from moving under the fasteners.
In the case of cassettes, take into account the tiles’ stacking and, if necessary, add additional reinforcements glued to the centre of the cassettes (when fastening from the edges, the fastenings may not be of sufficient strength).
We can help you to select and design the right frame and fastening solution according to the wishes of the building architect, client, constructor, while taking into account the budget of the building and the complexity and location of the facade in relation to the weather. We can also help you design the right fixing sequences, ways and, if necessary, train installation teams.
