Linear panels S.Slate
Metal thickness: from 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm (depending on panel length and required rigidity).
Dimensions: width typically ranges from 170 to 300 mm, length — from 100 mm to 6000 mm.
• Transport infrastructure: airports, railway stations, bus stops.
• Roadside service facilities: petrol stations, car service stations, car washes, fast food cafes and restaurants.
• Industrial buildings and warehouses: creating a modern appearance for production facilities and administrative buildings.
• Small architectural forms: cladding of street canopies, awnings, vestibules, entrance groups, fences and factory gates.
• Space zoning in warehouse terminals and logistics centres.
• Wall cladding in halls, corridors and atriums.
What are aluminium linear panels
Aluminium linear panels are long narrow profiles made from aluminium, which are mounted horizontally, vertically or at an angle, creating a clear linear rhythm on the facade. Unlike solid sheets or cassettes, linear panels have visible joints that become part of the design.
Structure and features
-
Profile. The panel has a U-shaped or C-shaped form with bends for rigidity.
-
Width. Typically from 50 to 300 mm.
-
Length. Up to 6000 mm (custom order – up to 8000 mm).
-
Metal thickness. 1.0–2.5 mm (for facades optimal thickness is 1.5–2.0 mm).
-
Colour. Any from RAL catalogue, as well as anodising (silver, bronze, gold).
Linear panels are mounted on a substructure (metal frame) with an air gap, which ensures facade ventilation. Fixing can be concealed (panels engage on clips) or exposed (using self-tapping screws through a visible flange).
Benefits of linear panels
Why do architects and developers increasingly choose linear facade systems?
Aesthetics and style. Clean lines give the building a modern, 'European' appearance. The ability to combine different colours and orientations (vertical, horizontal, diagonal) opens unlimited design possibilities.
Concealing irregularities. Linear panels are mounted on a frame that can be levelled. Even if the walls are uneven, the facade will be perfectly smooth.
Ventilation. The air gap between the panel and the wall ensures natural ventilation, prevents moisture accumulation and mould growth.
Durability. Aluminium does not rust. PVDF coating preserves colour for 25–40 years, anodising for 40–60 years.
Lightness. Aluminium weighs three times less than steel, reducing load on load-bearing structures and foundation.
Repairability. A damaged panel is easy to replace without dismantling the entire facade.
Where aluminium linear panels are used
Residential building facades
Private houses and multi-storey residential complexes. Linear panels give the building a modern, prestigious appearance. Combinations of horizontal and vertical lines look especially effective.
Suitable for: cottages, townhouses, residential complexes.
Commercial building facades
Office centres, business parks, shopping galleries. The strict rhythm of linear panels creates an impression of reliability and respectability.
Suitable for: office centres, banks, exhibition halls.
Industrial and public buildings
Airports, railway stations, business parks, factory buildings. Linear panels are simple to install, require minimal maintenance and withstand high loads.
Suitable for: airports, railway stations, sports complexes, warehouses.
Interiors
Accent walls, foyers, conference rooms, receptions. Vertical linear panels visually raise the ceiling, horizontal ones expand the space.
Suitable for: offices, hotels, shopping halls.

Technical parameters and dimensions
To find out the cost and dimensions of aluminium linear facade panels for house finishing per m² in Moscow, you need to consider several parameters.
Standard panel sizes
| Parameter | Standard values | Custom order |
|---|---|---|
| Panel width | 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, 250 mm, 300 mm | 50–400 mm |
| Panel length | 3000 mm, 4000 mm, 6000 mm | up to 8000 mm |
| Metal thickness | 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm | 1.0–2.5 mm |
| Profile height | 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm | 15–50 mm |
Coating types
-
Polyester (PE). Budget option. Any colour. Service life 10–20 years. For facades in regions with mild climate.
-
PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride). Mid-range price. Service life 25–40 years. Recommended for facades in any climate, resistant to colour fading.
-
Anodising. Premium price. Service life 40–60 years. Metallic finish (silver, bronze, gold, black). For premium projects.
Fixing methods
-
Concealed (on clips). Panels engage on carrier profiles. Fixings are not visible. The facade looks monolithic. More expensive.
-
Exposed (on self-tapping screws). Panels are fixed with self-tapping screws through a visible flange. More budget-friendly, but fixings are visible. Suitable for industrial buildings and warehouses.
Cost and dimensions of aluminium linear facade panels for house finishing per m² in Moscow

Frequently asked questions
1. What colour to choose for a private house facade?
Light shades (white, beige, light grey) fade less and heat up less in the sun. Dark colours (black, dark blue) are more striking, but heat up more and require more powerful facade ventilation.
2. Can linear panels be mounted horizontally?
Yes, horizontal mounting is used to expand visual space. Wide panels (200–300 mm) with horizontal orientation are popular for business centre facades. Note: horizontal panels collect more dust on the upper flange than vertical ones.
3. How to care for a linear facade?
Maintenance is minimal. Rain washes away dust. For heavy soiling – soft cloth, water and neutral detergent. Do not use abrasives, acids or high-pressure washers (more than 30 bar). For anodised surfaces – even gentler care.
4. What is the service life of anodised panels?
Under normal conditions (urban environment, not by the sea) – 40–60 years. Anodising is not a coating but a change in metal structure, so it does not peel or fade. Over time it may slightly dull.
5. What is cheaper: linear panels or composite panels?
Linear aluminium panels (thickness 1.5 mm) are usually cheaper than aluminium composite panels (ACP) with honeycomb core at comparable area. However, final price depends on order quantity, coating and installation complexity.
