When planning a building, the topic of fire protection is as essential as that of statics. It is like the “airbag” of a building – perhaps not always noticeable at first glance, but one has to be able to rely on it in case of emergency. If possible, it should never impair the aesthetics of good architecture.

ALUCOBOND® convinces with a multitude of simple processing and installation options. The material can be sawn, milled, folded and bent using the standard tools of metal and façade builders. It can either be riveted or screwed on to the substructure, or else installed as a suspended cassette. On top of this, the aluminium composite panel is available in flame-retardant and non-combustible versions to meet the building’s fire safety requirements of the respective country.

We have been committed to the environment and future generations for decades. Our goal is to meet the most stringent economic, social and ecological demands. ALUCOBOND® composite panels do not release environmentally hazardous substances at any point in their life cycle. After many years of use, they remain fully recyclable and can be returned to the material cycle. The requirements of current energy guidelines can easily be met with ALUCOBOND® and a rear-ventilated façade.

The development of ALUCOBOND® more than fifty years ago was a small revolution in itself: an innovative type of aluminium composite as a material compound that was light, rigid, very easy to form, and even corrosion-resistant and recyclable. These extraordinary characteristics convinced architects, designers and builders not only then but even now.
