ALUCORE® stands out as a premier choice for cladding, offering distinct advantages over both traditional metal cladding options (such as aluminium, steel, zinc, copper) and non-metal alternatives like stone, tiles and High-Pressure Laminates (HPL). Its exceptional properties such as high rigidity and extraordinary strength-to-weight ratio make it the ideal solution for demanding applications with high wind loads where top-tier performance is crucial.
ALUCORE® comes in two variants viz ALUCORE® ACCP and ALUCORE® HONEYCOMB giving architects and designers flexibility to choose cladding material
as per their design requirements.
ALUCORE® can be used for facades, self-supporting even walkable roofs, large canopies, wall cladding, soffits, partitions, louvres/solar shading and false ceilings in projects such as airports, railways, metro stations, bus shelters, stadiums, malls, multiplexes, residential and commercial complexes, hotels and hospitals.
ALUCORE® is 100% recyclable, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious projects. With a wide selection of colours and finishes, these versatile aluminum core panels can be customized to meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements.

ALUCORE® ACCP, the Aluminium Corrugated Core Panel is a light weight cladding material with a corrugated aluminium core sandwiched between two aluminium skins making it highly rigid. Devoid of any thermoplastic core, it is perfectly suitable for projects with stringent fire regulations. ALUCORE® ACCP offers unmatched flatness enhancing the beauty of buildings. The panels are easily formable using common processing methods giving architects flexibility to execute complex designs.
PRODUCT RANGE: Panel Thickness: 4mm and 6mm Width: 1250mm, 1500mm Length: ≤6000mm
ALUCORE® HONEYCOMB is a unique panel with an aluminium honeycomb core embedded between two aluminium skins. The product is a true representation of an advanced sandwich composite. The ultra-low weight of the core and the increased distance between the cover sheets increases rigidity while keeping the panel weight extremely low. The result is an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio. ALUCORE® HONEYCOMB therefore, has a definite advantage when it comes to projects with high demands on material stiffness - such as facade cladding or roofing where it is exposed to extremely high wind loads, or for large self-supporting and even walkable roofs.
PRODUCT RANGE: Panel Thickness: 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm (other thicknesses available upon request) Width: 1250mm, 1500mm Length: 2500mm - 6999mm

COMPARATIVE FLEXURE RIGIDITY
The graph illustrates the rigidity of different materials while keeping the weight identical ~5Kg/sqm.
ALUCORE® shows much higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to other materials. By prioritizing materials with low weight and high rigidity, architects can enhance structural integrity while minimizing the load-bearing requirements, thus contributing to more efficient and sustainable building designs.
This strategic approach not only ensures the structural stability of the facade but also enables architects to explore more innovative and aesthetically pleasing designs without compromising on safety or durability.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Annual cleaning is recommended. The surfaces should be cleaned either manually using a soft brush or by means of a high-pressure cleaner (maximum 50 bar) with clean water. If necessary, a mild cleaning agent (pH 6-7) may be added up to a maximum of 10%. Cleaning should take place from top to bottom. After cleaning, rinse with clean water to remove any cleaning agent residue. Do not clean surfaces heated by the sun (>40°C).
Do not use highly alkaline cleaning agents such as potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, caustic soda, any strong acid products or highly abrasive cleaning agents such as household cleaning products that can corrode the paint.
STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION
To protect ALUCORE® panels against mechanical damages and harmful effects of weather the following should be observed:
- Ensure careful handling of pallets during transport and unloading.
- Examine the pallets throughly upon arrival for any damages due to transportation.
- Stack only three pallets of similar dimensions horizontally above one another with the heaviest at the bottom. Do not let the panels stand vertically.
