Aluminium composite panel S.Bond
Thanks to the "sandwich" structure, consisting of two sheets of metal (thickness from 0.22 to 0.5 mm) and a core of mineral (non-combustible) or high-density polymer material, S.Bond panels combine rigidity with incredible lightness.
The base material can be selected from: pre-painted aluminium, anodised aluminium sheet, copper, or brass.
What are aluminium composite panels
An aluminium composite panel (ACP) is a multilayer material. It consists of two thin aluminium sheets and an internal filler – mineral or polymer (most commonly low-pressure polyethylene with flame retardant additives for fire safety).
ACP construction
-
Outer layer – aluminium 0.2–0.5 mm thick with polymer coating (polyester, PVDF, nano-ceramic). Protects against ultraviolet radiation, corrosion, and scratches.
-
Internal filler – fire-resistant mineral or polymer core. Provides rigidity, thermal insulation, and sound insulation.
-
Inner layer – aluminium 0.2–0.5 mm thick (usually primed for better adhesion with adhesive during installation).
Total panel thickness is 2 to 6 mm or more. Standard width is 1000, 1250, 1500 mm. Length is 2000 to 6000 mm.
Why composite panels are so popular
-
Lightweight – weigh 3–4 times less than ceramic granite and natural stone.
-
Strength – withstand high wind loads, impacts, and vibration.
-
Flexibility – bend easily, allowing the creation of curved facades.
-
Durability – service life of 25–50 years depending on the coating.
-
Wide colour range – over 200 RAL colours, matte, gloss, metallic, as well as wood, stone, copper, and titanium textures.
Where aluminium composite panels are used
Aluminium composite panels for facade exterior finishing of buildings are used in a variety of projects.
Ventilated facades
The most common option. Panels are attached to a substructure (metal frame) with an air cavity. This allows you to insulate the building and protect the facade from moisture.
Suitable for: office centres, shopping malls, residential buildings, hotels, airports, and train stations.
Roofing and canopies
Lightweight and rigid panels are used for cladding eave overhangs, soffit cladding, creating canopies, awnings, and balcony screens.
Suitable for: any buildings with horizontal protruding elements.
Interiors
ACP is used for wall finishing, columns, partitions, and lift lobbies. They look modern and are easy to maintain.
Suitable for: retail spaces, exhibition spaces, hotel lobbies, and business centres.
Advertising structures
Due to their flat surface and bright colours, panels are used for signs, billboards, and displays.
Advantages of buying from a manufacturer with delivery throughout the RF
If you have decided to buy aluminium composite panels for facade exterior finishing of buildings, working directly with the manufacturer offers several important benefits.
Prices without intermediaries
No distributor markups or retail chain markups. Buying from a manufacturer costs 15–30% less.
Quality control
The manufacturer is responsible for every stage: from aluminium raw materials to final coating. Panels undergo incoming inspection, intermediate checks, and finished product testing.
Any size for your project
Unlike warehouses selling standard-size panels, a manufacturer can produce material exactly according to your drawing. This minimizes waste at the site and speeds up installation.
Delivery throughout Russia
The manufacturer ships products to any region of the RF through verified transport companies. Delivery to a Moscow terminal is often free.
Technical support
The manufacturer will advise you on the choice of thickness, coating type, and fastening method. If necessary, they will provide recommendations for installation.
Cost and dimensions of aluminium composite panels per m² in Moscow
The price depends on several factors:
-
Panel thickness (2, 3, 4, 6 mm).
-
Coating type (polyester, PVDF, nano-ceramic, texture).
-
Combustibility class (standard or with flame retardant G1/G2).
-
Order volume.
-
Panel dimensions.
Approximate prices per m² in Moscow (wholesale from 500 m²)
| Thickness | Polyester (PE) | PVDF | Nano-ceramic | Texture (wood, stone) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 mm | from 850 ₽ | from 1100 ₽ | from 1400 ₽ | from 1800 ₽ |
| 4 mm | from 950 ₽ | from 1250 ₽ | from 1550 ₽ | from 1950 ₽ |
| 6 mm | from 1200 ₽ | from 1500 ₽ | from 1800 ₽ | from 2200 ₽ |
Prices are approximate. Exact cost is calculated individually for each project.
Standard panel dimensions
| Parameter | Values |
|---|---|
| Width | 1000 mm, 1250 mm, 1500 mm |
| Length | 2000–6000 mm (in 500 mm increments) |
| Non-standard dimensions | Made to order (up to 1500×8000 mm) |
What affects pricing additionally
-
Coating type. PVDF is more expensive than polyester, but 2–3 times more durable. Nano-ceramic is even more expensive, but provides self-cleaning properties.
-
Combustibility class. Panels with flame retardant (G1, G2) cost 15–25% more than standard, but are mandatory for high-rise buildings (over 28 m) and facilities with large public occupancy.
-
Order volume. From 1000 m² – discount 5–10%. From 3000 m² – up to 15%.
-
Milling, bending, perforation. Additional operations increase the cost.
How to calculate the required number of panels
To find out the cost and dimensions of an aluminium composite panel for home finishing per m² in Moscow for your project, follow a simple algorithm.
1. Measure your facade
Calculate the total facade area (length × height). Subtract the area of windows, doors, and storefronts.
2. Choose a panel format
Standard width is 1250 or 1500 mm. Length is chosen to minimize offcuts. For example, with a facade height of 6 m, it is convenient to use panels 3000 mm long and install them in two rows.
3. Account for cutting and waste
-
For simple rectangular facades – 5–7%.
-
For facades with many corners, bay windows, windows – 10–15%.
4. Example calculation
Facade: 20 m (length) × 6 m (height) = 120 m². Subtract 10 m² of windows and doors = 110 m². Allowance 10% = 11 m². Total: 121 m².
With a panel width of 1250 mm (1.25 m), the number of panels across: 20 m / 1.25 m = 16 units. Facade height 6 m – you can take panels 3000 mm long and install them in two rows (16 panels in each). Total 32 panels.
Frequently asked questions
1. How do composite panels differ from aluminium sheets?
An aluminium sheet is a homogeneous material. A composite panel is a "sandwich" of two sheets with filler. Composite is lighter (1.5–2 times), more rigid (does not "flutter" in the wind), maintains temperature better, and does not produce a "mirror effect". However, sheet has higher impact resistance. For facades, most people choose composite.
2. Which coating to choose – polyester or PVDF?
Polyester (PE) is cheaper, suitable for private homes and low-rise buildings. PVDF (PVDF) is more expensive, but 2–3 times more durable, does not fade, and is resistant to aggressive environments. For high-rise buildings, facilities by the sea, in industrial zones – only PVDF.
3. Do I need special permits for installing composite panels on a facade?
For a private home – no (unless it is a cultural heritage site). For an apartment building and a commercial facility – approval of the architectural appearance is required, and if the height exceeds 28 m, the use of non-combustible panels (with flame retardant) is mandatory.
4. How do I maintain a facade made of composite panels?
Natural rainfall is sufficient. For heavy soiling, you can wash with a soft cloth and soapy water. Do not use abrasives, acids, solvents, or high-pressure water (more than 30 bar). For nano-ceramic coating, water alone is enough.
5. What is the service life of composite panels?
With quality coating (PVDF) and proper installation – 25–40 years. The manufacturer's warranty is usually 10–20 years for panel integrity and 5–10 years for coating colour. Polyester lasts 10–15 years.
