Aluminum veneer, a widely - acclaimed material in the construction industry, is a type of metal panel specifically designed for building decoration. It is meticulously crafted from aluminum alloy panels through complex manufacturing processes. These processes include cutting, where the aluminum alloy sheets are precisely sliced into the desired shapes and sizes. Bending follows, enabling the creation of various forms, whether it's for a simple flat panel or a more complex, curved structure. Welding is then employed to join different parts, ensuring a seamless and sturdy construction. Finally, surface treatment is carried out to enhance the aluminum veneer's aesthetic and functional properties.

Characteristics

• High Strength
  Aluminum veneer exhibits remarkable strength thanks to the addition of elements like magnesium (Mg) and silicon (Si) to the aluminum alloy. It can withstand significant mechanical stress, making it suitable for various applications, even in harsh environmental conditions.
• Excellent Corrosion Resistance
  The alloy composition, along with the surface treatment, provides excellent corrosion resistance. This means aluminum veneer can maintain its integrity and appearance over long periods, even when exposed to moisture, chemicals, and other corrosive agents.
• Good Processability
  Aluminum veneer can be easily processed into a wide range of shapes and sizes. It can be bent, curved, perforated, or engraved, allowing for creative and unique design solutions in architecture.
• Diverse Surface Finishes
  With coatings such as PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) and polyester coatings, aluminum veneer offers a variety of surface finishes. These coatings not only enhance its weather resistance and wear resistance but also provide a rich palette of colors and textures, enabling architects to achieve their desired aesthetic effects.

Provision of Drawings

• Importance of Drawings
  Detailed drawings are essential for accurate production of aluminum veneer. They provide information about the shape, size, dimensions, and any special features or requirements of the panels. Architects and designers usually provide these drawings to aluminum veneer manufacturers.(marked where is the aluminum veneer where is the glass where is the profile) after the installation of the aluminum veneer frame, and come up with the aluminum processing diagrams then offer your prices.
• Drawing Requirements
  The drawings should be in a standard format, such as CAD, or DWG files. They should include clear dimensions, tolerances, and specifications for the surface finish. Additionally, any special details like cut-outs, holes, or bends should be marked.
  
• Collaboration on Drawings
  Manufacturers may sometimes need to collaborate with the design team to clarify certain aspects of the drawings. This ensures that the final product meets the design intent and can be produced efficiently.
• Example as followed
  

Applications:

• Exterior Wall Decoration
  Aluminum veneer is a popular choice for exterior wall cladding. It can enhance the building's appearance, protect the structure from the elements, and improve energy efficiency. For example, in modern office buildings, aluminum veneer facades can create a sleek and contemporary look.
• Interior Decoration
  It is used for interior wall paneling, column wrapping, and ceiling decoration. In luxury hotels and high-end residential projects, aluminum veneer can add a touch of elegance and sophistication. Its ability to be customized in terms of color and pattern allows for the creation of unique interior spaces.
• Ceiling Systems
  Aluminum veneer ceilings are known for their durability, light-reflecting properties, and easy maintenance. They are commonly used in public spaces such as airports, shopping malls, and convention centers, where large-scale, visually appealing ceilings are required.
• Billboards and Signage
  Due to its lightweight nature and good printability, aluminum veneer is an ideal material for billboards and signage. It can effectively display advertisements and information while withstanding outdoor weather conditions.

Product Packaging:

The Aluminum veneer products are packaged with films, protected by foam and plastic film, and placed in wooden crates with a maximum of 50 panels per crate, and each crate is labeled with the product name, size, color, and quantity.

Shipping:

Aluminum veneer products are shipped via sea freight.

• Size: Containers have standard dimensions. For example, a 20-foot container has an internal length of about 5.9 meters, width of about 2.35 meters, and height of about 2.39 meters. The size of the aluminum veneer should be suitable for loading into the container. Oversized aluminum veneers may require special arrangements such as open-top containers or flat rack containers.
• Weight: The maximum payload of a 20-foot container is generally around 21-23 tons, and for a 40-foot container, it's about 26-28 tons. The weight of the aluminum veneer and its packaging should be within these limits to ensure safe shipping and compliance with port and shipping regulations.
