    Aluminum Plate Panel Systems

    Made from solid aluminum, this panel material is dependable and has superior durability. Available in numerous colors and finishes, aluminum plate has numerous fabrication and design options for both small and monumental projects.

    SL-1000P

    Caulked Joint System
    The SL-1000P system incorporates solid metal materials for panel surfaces. It utilizes full-length interconnecting perimeter extrusions which reinforce the panel flanges and provides self-alignment of the panels. The panel joints are sealed using silicone or urethane-based sealants.  Finish and face thickness will vary depending on the architectural and structural requirements.  From simple to complex designs, this system provides a long-lasting, maintenance-free façade.

    Special Features

    • Can be designed as a Pressure Equalized Rainscreen System
    • Can be designed as a fully face sealed system
    • Sealed panels at the joint assist in keeping water out of air cavity

    SL-2000P

    Dry Joint Pressure Equalized Rainscreen (PER) System

    The SL-2000P system is another low-maintenance PER system with numerous design and fabrication options.  Similar to the SL-1000P, this system incorporates solid metal materials at the panel joints. The wall attachment, air/vapour barrier seals and joint treatment are to the Sobotec SL-2000 standards, yet uses solid aluminum plate material.  The joint filler for this system can also vary in both color and joint size.  This systems meets the same testing criteria of the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 508 standard for PER systems.  The SL-2000P system can also be used with natural metals such as zinc, copper and stainless steel. Yet aluminum plate is most often used when requiring a painted surface.

    Special Features

    • Pressure Equalized Rainscreen System
    • Ventilated cavity allows wall to breathe
    • Joint filler allows for variable color and reveal size
    • Low-maintenance, flexible panel design
    • Concealed air barrier membrane provides improved weather resistance

    SL-5000P

    Dry Joint Pressure Equalized Rainscreen (PER) System

    This heavy gauge, solid plate PER System is used on monumental projects where a floating, exposed panel edge appearance is desired. The attachment system is custom engineered using welded studs to minimize heat transfer to the face of the panel.

    The panel joint is typically recessed and finished in a dark color to create a shadow effect. Alternatively, the joint size, finish and configuration can be modified to suit project specifications. The SL-5000 system has been fully tested to satisfy all code requirements in addition to full-scale testing of individual panels to establish stud behavior under various loads.

    Special Features

    • Pressure Equalized Rainscreen System
    • Floating appearance with an exposed painted panel edge
    • Low-maintenance, flexible panel design

    What Our Customers Are Saying

    John Cerone, SHoP Architects

    "Alucobond has been the premium composite material out there since day one. It can really take your building and make it alive. One of the reasons we picked Alucobond is, it's a highly engineered product, that has longevity, it's durable and obviously, the aesthetic was the most important. We loved the finish of the Natural Brushed aluminum. The consistency of the finish is going to sustain weather and time. You really couldn't achieve a facade like this with another product.”
