ALUCODUAL®

In comparison to a single sheet of aluminum of the same thickness, ALUCODUAL® panels offer enhanced stiffness and rigidity. This structural stability allows for their use in larger cassettes and panels, effectively reducing number of joints and overall costs. Additionally, the material's workability in achieving 3D shapes and complex geometric patterns makes it highly versatile for various architectural applications.

One of the key features of ALUCODUAL® is its fire-retardant property. Since it doesn't have a thermo-plastic core, it remains inactive in the event of a fire, emitting no toxic gases or burning droplets. It is classified as Class A2-s1, d0 according to EN-3501-1 test standard, making it suitable for projects with stringent fire safety requirements.

ALUCODUAL® is used for facades, wall cladding, soffits, column cladding and decorative interior walls in various projects like airports, stadiums, malls and residential buildings. It fulfills fire safety needs while providing flexibility, making it a reliable choice for architects and designers to create visually appealing facades.
