Aluminium Panelling

Pro Clad from Glass Projects offers a range of high-quality aluminium panelling solutions, typically Aluminium Composite Panels/Material (ACP/ACM) or solid aluminium sheets, designed for architectural cladding, facias, signage, and decorative features. ACP consists of two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a non-aluminium core (e.g., polyethylene or a fire-resistant mineral core). Solid aluminium panels provide a robust, monolithic alternative. Pro Clad provides a modern, sleek aesthetic, excellent durability, and a wide array of finishing options.

Key attributes of Pro Clad include:

• Aesthetic Versatility: Available in an extensive range of colours (solid, metallic, special effects), finishes (e.g., matt, gloss, brushed), and can be fabricated into various shapes and sizes, offering significant design freedom.

• Lightweight & Strong: Aluminium panels, particularly ACP, offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, reducing structural load on buildings and easing installation compared to heavier traditional cladding materials.

• Durability & Weather Resistance: Aluminium is inherently corrosion-resistant. Pro Clad panels are typically finished with high-performance PVDF or polyester coatings that offer excellent resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and atmospheric pollutants, ensuring long-term colour stability and integrity in New Zealand’s varied climate.

• Flatness & Rigidity (ACP): Aluminium Composite Panels provide exceptional flatness over large areas, resisting oil-canning or warping, which is crucial for a high-quality aesthetic finish.

• Ease of Fabrication: Pro Clad panels can be easily cut, routed, folded, and curved to create complex architectural forms and details.

• Fire Performance Options: Specific Pro Clad ACP products are available with fire-resistant (FR) or non-combustible cores to meet stringent fire safety requirements in building codes.

Glass Projects specifies and installs Pro Clad aluminium panelling for a diverse range of exterior and interior applications where a durable, low-maintenance, and aesthetically superior finish is desired. While Glass Projects specialises in glazing, Pro Clad often complements their glazing systems, providing integrated facade solutions.

• External Building Facades: Used for full building cladding, rainscreen systems, feature walls, and to modernise existing building exteriors.

• Soffits, Fascias & Awnings: Providing durable and visually appealing finishes for roofline details and canopies.

• Spandrel Panels: Often used in curtain wall systems to conceal structural elements between vision glass areas, complementing glazed facades.

• Signage & Corporate Identity: Ideal for creating durable and impactful business signage, shopfront branding, and wayfinding elements.

• Interior Wall Linings & Decorative Features: Used for feature walls, column cladding, reception desks, and other interior design elements requiring a sleek, modern look.

• Retail Fit-outs & Display Units: Creating contemporary and durable finishes for shop interiors and product displays.

Glass Projects ensures meticulous attention to detail in the design, fabrication, and installation of Pro Clad systems, ensuring seamless integration with other building envelope components and achieving the architect’s design intent.
