Composite panels are created by sandwiching a type of plastic known as polyethylene between two aluminum sheets. These panels have gained significant popularity due to their ability to be coated with a variety of materials, including natural wood veneer, marine plywood, and aluminum sheets. The core of composite panels is made from environmentally friendly polyethylene, with aluminum surfaces available in various thicknesses (0.50 mm, 0.30 mm, 0.21 mm). They are widely used in diverse applications such as banks, shopping malls, and hotels, and are also a popular choice for exterior cladding and building facades.
The popularity of composite panels is on the rise both in Turkey and globally. They not only enhance the appearance of newly constructed buildings, making them look better, more modern, and of higher quality, but they can also be utilized in the renovation of older buildings. When applied to renovation projects, composite panels transform the façade of existing structures, giving them a more attractive look.
Composite panels are delivered to the installation site in the form of sheets, typically measuring 1,259 mm x 3,200 mm. Due to their flexibility, they can easily be cut and shaped on-site using handheld tools, eliminating the need for large machinery typically required for other building materials. To protect the colorful sections of the panels during transportation, they are covered with a plastic layer.
