Covering All Bases
Construction Week|September 2018

Ashok Kumar Bhaiya, CMD, Aludecor, speaks about their latest offerings such as affordable fireretardant ACPs that are helping them stand apart.

Covering All Bases

What are Aludecor’s latest product innovations and solutions in line with the emerging trends?

One of the latest trends in Aluminium Composite Panels (ACPs) today is avoiding silicone sealants for filling up the grooves. Aludecor’s latest product innovation consists of three assembly systems that offer new possibilities and solutions: the Pressure Equalised (PER) system, the Hanging Rainscreen (HR) system, and the Male-Female Rainscreen (MFR) system.

With PER, the same colour of the ACP can be maintained through the grooves and across the façade as the same coloured ACP strips are used in the grooves. This type of cladding also protects the walls from any kind of damage due to adverse weather conditions.

The other two systems by Aludecor give ventilated façades, viz. the HR and the MFR. When these are clubbed with insulation materials, they help save energy by 30% at least.

Given that fire accidents are a serious – and increasing – cause for concern, please tell us how Aludecor’s indigenously-developed 3mm fire-retardant ACPs aim to address the issue. What are the product’s unique features?
