In today's architectural decoration market, aluminum panels are a popular building decoration material. Through continuous development, aluminum panels have evolved from a single initial product to a variety of types, producing different effects with different shapes, colors, and treatments. The types of aluminum panels can be broadly categorized into fluorocarbon aluminum panels, wood grain aluminum panels, stone grain aluminum panels, perforated aluminum panels, carved aluminum panels, etc.
1. Standard Aluminum Panel: Square or rectangular aluminum panels (sprayed with different colors); Aluminum panel refers to a building decoration material processed by techniques like chromating and fluorocarbon spraying. Fluorocarbon paint mainly refers to polyvinylidene fluoride paint (KANAR500), which is divided into primer, topcoat, and clear coat. The coating process generally includes two coats, three coats, or four coats. Fluorocarbon coatings have excellent corrosion resistance and weather resistance, can resist acid rain, salt spray, and various air pollutants, and have excellent cold and heat resistance. They maintain color over a long period, do not chalk, and have a long service life.
2. Carved Aluminum Panel: Hollow carving, as a form of carving art, requires precise cutting techniques. Designers cleverly incorporate this element into modern architectural decoration, presenting us with fashionable decorative art. Carving can extend the spatial sense of the panel continuously, playing a role in light transmission and ventilation.
3. Imitation Stone Grain Aluminum Panel: This new utility model uses aluminum panels of a certain thickness, custom-processed according to dimensions, shapes, and structural forms designed on site. The surface is directly made into imitation stone grain, making it a high-quality material for high-end building decoration.
4. Wood Grain Aluminum Panel: As the name suggests, a wood grain aluminum panel is a product with a surface processed into wood grain heat transfer print, also mimicking natural patterns. Nowadays, everyone advocates for a green and healthy lifestyle. With increasing environmental awareness, more and more wood and imitation wood products appear in modern life, making wood grain aluminum panels an inevitable trend. Wood grain aluminum panels use high-grade aluminum alloy as the main material, processed into the required dimensions, shapes, and structure forms by CNC bending and other technologies at the construction site, and then apply a wood grain film on the fluorocarbon coating through vacuum treatment, transferring the wood grain film onto the aluminum panel’s fluorocarbon layer. They are premium metal decorative materials, first choice for high-end building decoration, applicable in various metal curtain walls and metal ceiling panels.
5. Mirror Aluminum Panel: Mirror aluminum panel refers to aluminum panels treated with rolling, polishing, and other methods to present a mirror-like effect on the surface. Mirror aluminum panels can be used in lighting fixtures' reflective boards and lamps decoration, solar energy collection reflective materials, indoor architectural decoration, exterior wall decoration, household appliance panels, and electronic product casings, among other fields.
6. Brushed Aluminum Panel: Brushed aluminum panel is made by repeatedly scraping the aluminum panel with sandpaper, divided mainly into three parts in its process: deesterification, sanding, and washing. Brushed aluminum panels are widely used in aluminum photo frames, fine cabinets, fine doors and windows, veneer panels, signs, lighting, interior and exterior decoration, household appliances, luggage, gifts, furniture, and other fields.
7. Perforated Aluminum Panel: Perforated aluminum panel, also referred to as hollow aluminum panel or carved aluminum panel, is created using advanced CNC punching equipment to laser carve holes of various shapes into the aluminum panel surface, meeting modern clients' fashion and personalized decoration pursuits. Perforated aluminum panels can be used as outdoor curtain wall aluminum panels, interior aluminum panels, or column covers, suitable for large building exterior wall decoration or interior wall and column decoration of multi-functional restaurants, lecture halls, opera houses, reception lobbies, concert halls, hotels, etc.
As a new type of building material, aluminum panels have a wide range of applications. They are suitable for exterior wall decoration of buildings, transportation hubs, commercial properties, public buildings, residences, industrial plants, and other places.
