Aluminium composite panels: advantages, applications and features of STACBOND products
Aluminium composite panels have become a leading choice for façade cladding and other architectural applications. They combine lightness, durability and impeccable aesthetics, allowing for modern and sustainable designs. At STACBOND, we offer composite panels with advanced properties and a focus on circular economy, meeting the needs of high quality architectural projects around the world.
Main advantages of STACBOND aluminium composite panels
Lightness and ease of installation of composite panels
STACBOND panels are significantly lighter than other cladding materials, at equal thickness, which makes them easier to transport and install. This is especially advantageous for ventilated facades and building renovation, where the aim is to reduce the structural load and optimise installation times. In addition, STACBOND systems always aim to reduce the substructure and allow for accelerated installation with the EVO and PRO systems.
High fire resistance of STACBOND composite panels
Our panels are designed to meet the highest safety standards. The STACBOND FR panel is hardly flammable, while STACBOND A2 is non-flammable, offering the best reaction to fire for use in exterior facades and sensitive buildings. This resistance contributes to safety in high-rise buildings and urban areas.
Durability and corrosion resistance
The aluminium in STACBOND composite panels naturally resists corrosion. In addition, we use high quality treatments and paints which, without chrome, ensure excellent durability and resistance to extreme conditions, including high humidity or saline environments. STACBOND offers maximum resistance to panel delamination, guaranteeing the best mechanical performance.
UV resistance and colour stability
Thanks to the paint technology used in STACBOND composite panels, they offer high UV resistance, maintaining vibrant colours and flawless finishes over time. This coating ensures that the appearance of the building remains uniform and attractive, regardless of sun exposure.
Energy efficiency and sustainability
At STACBOND, we are committed to sustainability. The panels contain recycled materials in their core and our aluminium suppliers include recycled aluminium in their coils. The panels are 100% recyclable, including the core and aluminium sheets, and we promote the circular economy with our STACBOND Recycling service to collect and reuse panels. In addition, our ventilated façade solutions reduce the energy demand of buildings by more than 30%, a benefit that enables LEED and BREEAM certifications in sustainable construction.
Improved thermal and acoustic insulation
STACBOND aluminium composite panels improve thermal insulation thanks to the air cavity created in ventilated facades. This feature minimises heat loss and energy consumption, while insulating against external noise, increasing the comfort of building occupants.
Versatility in custom colours and finishes
STACBOND offers an extensive range of colours, sheens and textures, and in our colourimetry laboratory we can replicate any RAL, PANTONE or NCS colour, or create special finishes from a physical sample. This allows architects complete freedom to customise their designs.
STACBOND aluminium composite panels applications
Aluminium composite panels are a versatile and adaptable solution for various types of architectural projects:
Ventilated façades: this is the most common use that allows to improve the energy efficiency of the building and helps to reduce carbon emissions from heating and air conditioning systems by improving insulation. Our T-CH-PRO and T-SZ-PRO assembly systems facilitate the installation in any type of modulation, reducing the substructure and optimising costs and construction times.
Interior and exterior cladding: Aluminium composite panels are used for both interior and exterior cladding, offering modern aesthetics and high strength in commercial, residential and public applications.
Roofs and suspended ceilings: The lightness and strength of these panels make them an excellent choice for roofs and ceilings, providing a uniform and durable finish.
Signage and advertising: The machining flexibility of STACBOND panels allows for the creation of long lasting, high visibility signage structures.
STACBOND: Quality and commitment to the environment
STACBOND stands out in the aluminium composite panel market thanks to its strict quality standards and environmental commitment. Our manufacturing processes are subject to rigorous internal quality controls and external audits carried out by the most prestigious certifying bodies. STACBOND is the composite panel with the highest number of certifications in the market. This commitment ensures products of high strength and durability.
The STACBOND aluminium composite panel is the ideal solution for architects and designers looking for a versatile, sustainable and high performance material. With multiple advantages in terms of lightness, strength, and sustainability, this material is perfect for ventilated façade projects, cladding and other applications. At STACBOND, our products not only meet technical and aesthetic requirements, but also contribute to sustainable building goals, facilitating LEED and BREEAM project certification.
