There are several types of aluminum veneer, each with unique properties and uses.
Classification by Material
Plain Aluminum Panels: These panels offer the highest strength and durability, but are also the most expensive and heaviest.
Aluminum Honeycomb Panels: These panels have a honeycomb core made of aluminum foil and offer excellent strength-to-weight ratio and fire resistance.
Perforated Aluminum Panels: These panels are punched with holes for ventilation, light diffusion and unique designs.
3D Aluminum Panels: Aluminum panels are formed into various shapes, such as diamonds and shapes, through bending, welding and other techniques.
By Surface Finish
Anodized Aluminum Panels: This process creates a protective layer of oxidation on the surface of aluminum, enhancing its durability and corrosion resistance. Anodized aluminum panels are available in a variety of colors and finishes, ranging from natural metallic colors to vibrant hues.
Powder Coated Aluminum Panels: This process involves applying a dry powder coating to the surface of the aluminum, which is then heated and cured. Compared to anodizing, powder coating offers durability and scratch resistance, as well as a wider range of color options.
PVDF Coated Aluminum Panels: PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) coating is a high-performance finish with excellent resistance to fading, weathering and chemicals. These panels are ideal for outdoor applications in harsh environments.
Brushed Aluminum Panels: This finish produces a textured surface with a matte appearance. Brushed aluminum panels have a sleek, modern look that helps hide minor scratches and imperfections.
Wood Grain Aluminum Panels: These panels are imprinted with a realistic wood grain pattern for a natural aesthetic without the maintenance associated with solid wood.
