What is Cladding?
Cladding refers to the process of covering a wall or any unit with aluminum panels in various shapes and types.
Types of Aluminum Panels:
There are many types of aluminum panels, whether they are made from pure aluminum or sandwich panels.
-
Plain Aluminum Panels: These are made from aluminum alloys such as 6063 or 6060 in varying thicknesses. They are shaped according to the designer’s preferences and are mounted on either an aluminum frame or a steel frame.
-
Sandwich Aluminum Panels: These are the most commonly used and popular type in the aluminum market due to their wide variety of options and shapes, along with price ranges that satisfy both users and manufacturers. Some types are fire-resistant to different degrees and for varying durations, while others are non-fire-resistant. The construction of these panels involves two aluminum layers (exterior and interior) with a polymer material in between. The thickness of the aluminum layers and the type of polymer vary based on price and quality
