Alucobond Aluminum Composite Panels

Alucobond panels are industry leaders in fire safety, designed to meet the most stringent building codes in North America. The standard Alucobond Plus features a fire-retardant (FR) core that meets CAN/ULC-S134 and NFPA 285 standards for exterior wall assemblies. For projects requiring even higher non-combustible performance, Alucobond A2 is rated non-combustible under CAN/ULC-S114, making it the safest choice for high-rise buildings and critical infrastructure where fire resistance is paramount.

The primary difference lies in the core composition and fire behavior.

• Alucobond Plus (FR): Uses a mineral-filled fire-retardant core that inhibits fire spread. It is the standard specification for most low-to-mid-rise commercial developments in Canada.

• Alucobond A2: Features a high-density core composed of over 90% non-combustible mineral content. It is specifically engineered for high-rise cladding where “non-combustible” classification is mandatory. Both options maintain the same flatness, rigidity, and fabrication properties that Alucobond panels are known for.

Alucobond offers an extensive range of finishes, including solid colors, metallics, sparkling micas, and realistic wood or stone effects.

Solid & Metallic: From classic architectural whites and greys to bold custom corporate colors.

Natural Finishes: The Terra and Wood Design series provide the aesthetic of natural materials with the durability of aluminum.

Yes, Alucobond ACM panels are specifically engineered for exterior architectural cladding. They are coated with premium PVDF (Fluoropolymer) systems that offer exceptional resistance to UV rays, weathering, and industrial pollution. This ensures the facade retains its color and gloss for decades without peeling or fading. Whether for harsh Canadian winters or humid summers, Alucobond remains stable and durable, making it the preferred choice for building envelopes across Ontario.

Alucobond panels are available in several thicknesses to suit different applications:

• 4mm: The industry standard for exterior architectural facades, providing the optimal balance of rigidity and weight.
• 3mm: Typically used for signage, interiors, or lighter-duty applications.
• 6mm: Available for specialized applications requiring extreme stiffness.

Most architectural specifications in Canada call for the 4mm thickness to ensure the panel stays perfectly flat (avoids “oil-canning”) when installed on large commercial facades.
