Demonstration project facade: application of various aluminum panels

In recent years, aluminum plates have been widely used in architecture and landscape design. From building facades to dividing strips on feature walls, aluminum plates may be used whenever metal decoration is needed.

Today we will take a look at the application design of aluminum plates in the demonstration project .

In terms of classification, aluminum panels used for architectural decoration are mainly divided into two types: "aluminum veneer" and "composite panel" :

Aluminum veneer refers to a new building decoration material that uses aluminum alloy plate as the base material, undergoes chromization and other treatments, is formed by CNC bending and other technologies, and is processed using fluorocarbon or powder spraying technology. The perforated aluminum plate, imitation stone aluminum plate, wood grain transfer aluminum plate, mirror aluminum plate, etc. that are commonly mentioned belong to this type of aluminum plate.

Aluminum composite panels are a general term, mainly referring to the use of various complex processing methods to use chemically treated coated aluminum plates (aluminum veneers) as surface materials, composited on suitable base materials, and finally forming aluminum composite panels. Depending on the different composite base materials, aluminum composite panels have different material properties. The more common ones include aluminum-plastic panels and honeycomb aluminum panels .

Let’s take a closer look at the common types.

Perforated aluminum sheet

First, let’s take a look at the perforated aluminum panel in the aluminum veneer.

Perforated aluminum sheet refers to a rectangular material with a rectangular cross section and uniform thickness obtained by pressure processing (shearing or sawing) of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy materials . In fact, it is a metal aluminum sheet with holes, also known as punching aluminum sheet, perforated metal sheet, and perforated screen .

Compared with other metal materials, perforated aluminum plate has a very smooth surface and has the advantages of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, fire resistance, moisture resistance, shock resistance, light and stable structure, good building physical environment, wide vision and beautiful shape. It is a new material that reduces noise and has decorative effect.

The main punching hole specifications include: rectangular holes, square holes, diamond holes, round holes, oblong holes, hexagonal holes, cross holes, triangular holes, long waist holes, plum blossom holes, fish scale holes, pattern holes, eight-shaped holes, herringbone holes, five-pointed star holes, irregular holes, bulging holes, special-shaped holes, louver holes, etc.

The round dome of Taizhou Longhu Yuhu No. 1 is full of tension, creating a visible and unique feature of the project. Combined with the luminous three-dimensional diamond-shaped perforated aluminum panels on the facade , it reflects the lights of the city, allowing you to break away from the hustle and bustle and feel a piece of heaven and earth.

The second floor of the building is composed of 776 10mm perforated panels . The curved facade presents a folded diamond texture, which is inspired by the ever-changing reflections on the water surface. The combination of triangular perforated panels is inspired by diamonds.

At night, the facade is illuminated by light from within, and the undulating folds on the exterior wall are further highlighted, giving the building a strong sculptural feel.

The facade of Chengfa Tianyue Bay extracts the streamlined elements of the winding Shaxi River on the north side of the site, integrates the inspiration of the interweaving of flowing light, and uses flowing lines as the main frame of the exhibition area.

Silver-white aluminum plates and champagne gold perforated aluminum plates are used to simulate the flexible curves of a butterfly spreading its wings, strengthening the shadow levels of the building's lines, giving people a "gilded and silver-plated" and stylish visual impact, reflecting the client's distinguished status.

The high-quality aluminum curtain wall presents a relaxed and powerful space.

Imitation stone aluminum plate

The appearance of imitation stone aluminum plate makes up for the defects brought by traditional natural stone itself . It can achieve the decorative effect of real stone without consuming resources , and has gradually become a popular choice.

Imitation stone aluminum plate is based on aluminum veneer. It is mixed and set by replicating the texture, grain and color of natural stone, and then treated with primer, topcoat, varnish and other finishing treatments. Different colors of paint, patterns, etc. are cured at high temperature and then attached to the surface of the aluminum veneer.

Simply put, the surface of the aluminum veneer is processed through a series of processes to achieve the same effect and texture as natural stone, making it the most ideal alternative to natural stone.

It has excellent physical properties such as environmental protection and energy saving, waterproof and stain-resistant, high flame retardancy, light weight, quick construction, good quality and low price, strong plasticity, customizable colors, long service life, etc. It can withstand environmental changes when used indoors and outdoors.

Brought about by the invasion.?

The facade curtain wall decorative components of Chongqing Vanke Puyuan Demonstration Area are translated from the project name LOGO into aluminum plate shape texture. The overall geometric form is based on the "Jade Seal" prototype. Two types of imitation stone aluminum plate modules are selected to combine, accurately grasping their proportions and rhythm to create a "light makeup" architectural aesthetic.

Imitation wood grain aluminum plate

Imitation wood grain aluminum sheet is also called wood grain transfer aluminum sheet. It is a decorative material that uses high-grade aluminum alloy as the main material and presents the texture and color of wood on the aluminum sheet through the transfer process.

It has the texture of wood and the characteristics of aluminum plate, and has many advantages, such as simulation effect, green and environmental protection, light weight, fireproof, anti-corrosion and moisture-proof, can be processed into various geometric shapes, easy to maintain, long service life , etc. Therefore, imitation wood grain aluminum plate is called an ideal substitute for wood in the building decoration industry.

It has developed rapidly in recent years and has been increasingly widely used in aluminum profile curtain walls, doors and windows, and home furnishings, becoming one of the new growth points in the aluminum profile industry.

In order to showcase modern Chinese aesthetics, Nanchang Poly Langyue not only designs the fifth facade, but also focuses on the creation of the sixth facade (outdoor ceiling) from a human visual angle.

The ceiling in the center of the entrance hall is inspired by the large-grid flat ceiling from the Song Dynasty. After a modern interpretation, the large squares with neat lines are combined with concealed light strips, while the rest of the area uses grooved wood-grain aluminum plates and profile-finished ceilings, giving full play to the beauty of modern materials and craftsmanship.

The caisson sample was made with two materials: wood grain aluminum and champagne gold aluminum , with a free combination of base and gusset plates. After lighting testing, the diffusely reflective wood grain aluminum plate was finally selected.

The five-ridged halls and four-slope roofs on the facade of Hangzhou Gemdale Lake Song Danqing Mansion were carefully considered to create the architectural language of Danqing Pavilion. The 2.6-meter-high cantilevered sloping roof extracts ancient building elements such as cantilevered eaves and paving, and adopts a combination of wood grain boards and blue-black metal tiles . The flow of light and shadow reflects the simplicity of traditional Chinese style and the lightness of modern times.

The warm and elegant wood-like aluminum panels, deep and steady profiles, and warm and delicate blue-eyed stones of the Fengmingheyuan gate in Deqing, Zhejiang , lead people to think of the temperament and cultivation of the scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Let’s take a look at the facade of Suzhou Century Golden Source Near Lake Source. The boundless ultra-clear glass brings the outdoor scenery infinitely into the interior, and the light-colored platinum stone is matched with the wood-grain aluminum plate to create a light and transparent building volume.

The light and shadow design is the most unique stroke, which combines different lines, materials, light and dark and corresponding brushstrokes to truly express the temperament of the space.

Geometric bodies are interspersed and varied, glass, stone, and metal aluminum panels are combined, and each block uses different color texture changes to create a temperament image with rich layers, clear interfaces, and strong memory.

Hyperbolic Aluminum Plate

Hyperbolic aluminum plate is a new type of building material. Its appearance is mainly designed in a hyperbolic shape, which has a very high decorative effect and aesthetics.

Hyperbolic aluminum veneer, also known as curved aluminum plate, is based on aluminum veneer. It is an aluminum veneer product with two curved surfaces that is processed through multiple processes such as cutting, folding, bending, welding, reinforcement, grinding, and spraying according to two different arc curvatures.

First of all, this material has the unique and excellent properties of aluminum veneer itself, with light weight, good rigidity, dust and moisture resistance, fire resistance, wear resistance and long service life ; secondly, it has a variety of shapes and can be designed and processed according to different curvatures, which can well meet the designer's architectural creative ideas and give the building a good exterior decoration display effect ; thirdly , the structural design is user-friendly , easy to load and unload, and convenient for installation and construction; it is easy to repair and replace, and has strong transformability.

The exterior facade of the Langfang Jinmao Longhe Times City Living Room uses a combination of hyperbolic aluminum panels, perforated panels and underlying ultra-clear glass , which not only highlights the sculptural and modern feel of the building, but also ensures the transparency of the line of sight and interactivity with the landscape.

The pool platform on the second floor of Ganzhou Jinrun Binjiang Yunchen Exhibition Center has chamfers with a sense of craftsmanship. The aluminum plate has good toughness. The design adjusts the two-dimensional curves and three-dimensional surfaces to achieve good results. Each piece of aluminum plate that makes up the hyperbolic surface is different.

Jinchang Yanbo Chenlu Demonstration Area uses hyperbolic aluminum panels . The smooth curvature of the streamlined shape exudes a sense of modernity and artistry, but it is a relatively difficult challenge in terms of manufacturing and installation.

First, 3D modeling is done through software, and then BIM software is used for progressive decomposition, including flattening, cutting materials, punching, cutting corners, rolling, curling, folding, and nailing... After the single piece is completed, it is welded and reinforced for assembly. Every detail must be correct.

Honeycomb aluminum panel

Honeycomb aluminum panels are a series of metal composite panel products developed in combination with aviation industry composite honeycomb panel technology. This product adopts a "honeycomb sandwich" structure, that is, a composite panel made of high-strength alloy aluminum panels with excellent weather-resistant decorative coatings as the surface and bottom panels and aluminum honeycomb cores through high temperature and high pressure.

This type of plate will greatly enhance the structural integrity of the original aluminum plate, making it less likely to bend, allowing it to be larger in size and with better flatness, but the cost will be slightly higher.

Its characteristics are light weight, high strength, customizable, easy installation (no welding, no exposed nails) , etc. The six common aluminum honeycomb panel materials are: punched honeycomb aluminum panel, carved honeycomb aluminum panel, imitation wood grain honeycomb aluminum panel, imitation stone honeycomb aluminum panel, curved/special-shaped honeycomb aluminum panel, and fluorocarbon honeycomb aluminum panel .

The facade of Nanjing China Resources Land Guanyunrun Mansion also follows the principles of "precision" and "simplicity" in material selection, using luxury stone, ultra-white glass, and honeycomb aluminum panels as the main materials to establish the overall gray tone, retaining the original texture of the stone, and partially inlaid with golden metal lines to increase the durability of the details.

The light and bright honeycomb aluminum panels extend outward from the roof and are naturally connected to the landscape corridor. The horizontal eaves define the boundary between the building and the sky, creating a soothing, harmonious and tranquil inner atmosphere.

In the vertical direction, partial walls extend from the building volume, forming a sharp contrast between the thickness of the luxury stone and the thinness of the aluminum plate and the lightness of the glass, allowing the entire building to form a delicate balance between "calmness" and "exquisiteness".

The columns in the corridor are also presented in the form of wall panels, with horizontal open seams chiseled on them, casting horizontal shadows and carving details under the skylight.

The main entrance of China Resources Land Times City, "Gate of Times", has a large welcoming waterscape of about 170 square meters on both sides. A steel truss structure with a span of about 40 meters is used above the gate head, realizing a large-span column-free space of about 20 meters. A total of about 2,800 azure glazed ceramic tiles, 2,100 profiles and thousands of light strips are used . The bottom is selected with large honeycomb aluminum panels , which is modern and luxurious .

The grand ceremony of entering the gate, arriving at the land of blue sky, presents the hope of returning home in glory.

Conclusion:

In general, aluminum veneer has a broad market prospect as a new type of building material . With the rapid development of the construction industry and the changes in consumer demand, the aluminum veneer market will become stronger and stronger. Aluminum veneer manufacturers need to continue to innovate, improve product quality, and devote themselves to the research and development of more environmentally friendly materials to adapt to market demand and gain competitive advantages.
