Product Overview
Stone grain aluminum panel is a new type of building decorative material that uses high-quality aluminum alloy as the base material. Through advanced surface treatment processes, the texture, color, and feel of natural stone are realistically replicated onto the aluminum panel surface, creating a visual effect that closely mimics real stone, while also incorporating the excellent properties of aluminum metal.
It successfully overcomes the inherent drawbacks of natural stone, such as heavy weight, difficult installation, potential radiological risks, and susceptibility to spalling, providing a "stone" solution for modern architecture that is safer, more economical, and offers greater design freedom.
Core Features & Advantages
Realistic Appearance, Excellent Texture:
Rich Textures: Can accurately imitate various precious stones, with clear, natural textures and a strong sense of depth.
Diverse Finishes: Can mimic not only stone colors but also achieve different finishes like glossy, matte, and textured surfaces, meeting diverse design needs.
Lightweight & High-Strength, Safe & Reliable:
Extremely Lightweight: Weighs only about 1/5 to 1/6 of natural stone, significantly reducing the load on the building structure and foundation, making it especially suitable for high-rise and super high-rise buildings.
High Strength: The aluminum alloy material combined with rational stiffener design gives it high strength, good rigidity, and excellent wind pressure and impact resistance.
Fireproof & Flame Retardant: Aluminum alloy sheets are non-combustible materials, fully meeting the fire safety requirements of modern buildings.
Excellent Weather Resistance & Durability:
Corrosion & Acid/Alkali Resistant: The surface coating (typically PVDF fluorocarbon coating) has stable performance, effectively resisting corrosion from acid rain, salt spray, and air pollution.
UV Resistant: Color remains stable and lasting, resistant to fading, keeping its appearance new for a long time.
Good Self-Cleaning Properties: Smooth surface, not prone to dust accumulation, easily cleaned by rain washing, resulting in very low maintenance costs.
Eco-Friendly, Economical & Easy Installation:
Green & Eco-Friendly: No radiological concerns associated with natural stone; aluminum material is 100% recyclable, conforming to green building standards.
Efficient Installation: Factory pre-fabricated production ensures accurate dimensions. Installation via a hanging system is fast and convenient, unaffected by seasons.
Main Production Processes
Digital Inkjet Printing Technology:
Characteristics: Offers the most realistic effect, enabling seamless joining of any complex stone texture. It has a wide color gamut and the highest color fidelity. Currently the best process for achieving stone imitation effects.
Thermal Transfer Technology:
Characteristics: Clear textures with a certain three-dimensional feel, relatively lower cost.
Spray Painting Technology:
Characteristics: Thicker coating with good durability, but the randomness and natural feel of the texture are relatively weaker.
Application Areas
Stone grain aluminum panels are widely used in places requiring a high-end, natural, and dignified aesthetic for the building exterior:
Building Exterior Walls / Curtain Walls: High-end office buildings, government buildings, banks, courthouses, hotels, schools, etc., replacing dry-hung stone to achieve a classic architectural style.
Interior Decoration:
Lobby Feature Walls: Creating grand and impressive entrance spaces.
Column Cladding: Enhancing the quality perception of interior spaces.
Elevator Lobbies, Corridors: Creating a unified and high-end internal environment.
Commercial Spaces: Facades and interior decoration for high-end brand stores, shopping malls, and private clubs.
Building Renovation: Quickly giving old buildings a new stone appearance without adding structural load.
Special Shapes: Can be fabricated into complex shapes like curved surfaces and folded angles, expanding design possibilities beyond the limitations of natural stone.
