The difference between aluminum single board curtain wall aluminum single board and aluminum plastic board

Jun 03,2019


In building curtain wall materials, the frequency of use of curtain wall aluminum panels and aluminum-plastic panels is very high. They can often be seen in many modern buildings. However, many first-time users of curtain wall aluminum panels do not understand them and mistakenly believe that aluminum-plastic panels are a type of aluminum panel. In fact, there are significant differences between the two.

Firstly, in terms of structure, aluminum-plastic panels are mainly composed of a thin layer of aluminum skin with a layer of PVE board sandwiched in between, while curtain wall aluminum panels are made from pure aluminum plates that are 1.5-3.0mm thick. As a result, there is a significant price difference between the two. Aluminum-plastic panels cost several dozen yuan per square meter, while aluminum panels are several times that price.
 
Secondly, their performance is different. Curtain wall aluminum panels are processed from high-quality aluminum plates, and they undergo pre-treatment and are coated with paint on the surface, giving them fire resistance, moisture resistance, fireproofing, corrosion resistance, and wind pressure resistance, resulting in a long service life. In contrast, aluminum-plastic panels do not have such excellent performance and can easily produce toxic smoke and gases in the event of a fire.
 
Furthermore, the color options for aluminum-plastic panels are relatively limited, while curtain wall aluminum panels can be customized with a wide range of surface paint options.
 
Finally, curtain wall aluminum panels are customized according to the client's needs, while aluminum-plastic panels are uniformly processed and then transported to the construction site for on-site cutting. Therefore, it is normal for aluminum panels to be more expensive. Both curtain wall aluminum panels and aluminum-plastic panels are still in use today, but as people's requirements for building curtain walls continue to rise, the future market for them will be even broader.

Talk about the lightning protection features and fire safety characteristics of curtain wall aluminum panels.

The characteristics of lightning protection for curtain wall aluminum panels have been a topic of ongoing debate in the industry. Manufacturers of fluorocarbon coated aluminum panels have found that people often assume aluminum panels are made of pure aluminum, which has better conductivity. Regarding this issue, a test was conducted in a biological laboratory in Germany using two types of raw materials to test their resistance to lightning strikes. The results showed that at the moment of a lightning strike, regardless of whether aluminum composite panels or aluminum single panels were used, the curtain wall interface method could completely prevent electric shock. When subjected to lightning current, melting can easily occur at the lightning strike points on the metal or metallic surface, while plastic aluminum panels are mixed, providing relatively better lightning protection.

What should be noted for the daily maintenance and repair of exterior aluminum-plastic panels?

Aluminum-plastic panels, also known as metal composite panels, are a composite material made of aluminum and high-density polyethylene, with high-pressure polyethylene serving as the core and spray-coated aluminum alloy as the surface material. Aluminum-plastic panels have many excellent characteristics in their applications, such as good decorative art, weather resistance, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, fireproofing, waterproofing, sound insulation, and thermal insulation, making them very effective in various industrial and daily life applications. However, all types of panels require regular maintenance. Below, we will introduce what to pay attention to in the daily maintenance of aluminum-plastic panels!

The following introduces the thickness requirements and characteristics of fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels.

Generally, when fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels are used as wall panels, the thickness of the wood does not need to be too emphasized, as there is a layer of wall blocking it. At this time, more consideration should be given to the application effect of the architectural curtain wall aluminum-plastic panels, such as measuring the total width of the wall to choose the total width of the architectural curtain wall aluminum-plastic panels, making it more aesthetically pleasing. As long as it ensures beauty and practicality, more people will choose architectural curtain wall aluminum-plastic panels.
