ALUCOPANEL A1’S EXTRAORDINARY SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY PROFILE

Launched in early 2021, Alucopanel A1 has become the highest standard for non-combustible cladding.

Alucopanel A1 by Alucopanel Middle East LLC, a member of the Danube Group, is now widely recognized as the go-to solution for non-combustible cladding.

Alucopanel Middle East’s flagship product, the Alucopanel A1 mineral stone core composite material, is fully compliant with relevant building codes and regulations worldwide. It has obtained A1 classification according to the European fire protection standard EN 13501-1, which is the highest rating under one of the most stringent component fire test standards in the world. To our knowledge, it is the only aluminum composite material in the world that meets this standard and has obtained approval from the UAE Civil Defence.

This exceptional fire safety profile of the non-combustible product is matched by its outstanding sustainability credentials. Alucopanel's sustainability philosophy is at the core of Alucopanel A1, and the product's environmental performance has been verified through an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).

Alucopanel and its affiliated materials are 100% recyclable, explains Engr. Intisar Adrah, Deputy General Manager – Technical & Compliance of Alucopanel Middle East.

The product’s sustainability profile is further enhanced by the fact that it requires less energy to produce than solid aluminum while saving more energy through its insulating properties. “Aluminum production requires a substantial amount of energy,” says Mr. Zohaib Rahman, General Manager of Alucopanel Middle East. “However, Alucopanel is more rigid than solid aluminum, meaning it uses 300% less aluminum to serve the same function. This results in significant energy savings when compared to producing a solid aluminum panel of equivalent rigidity.”

In addition to its production benefits, Alucopanel A1 helps reduce building energy consumption thanks to its thermal insulation properties. When used for external or internal cladding, the air space between Alucopanel and the backing wall forms a thermal insulation layer, improving the wall system’s energy conservation performance, adds Mr. Zohaib Rahman.

Furthermore, Alucopanel A1 comes with a 20-year warranty, and we also provide an additional warranty from our paint partners, considered one of the most comprehensive in the industry.

As the high standard in non-combustible cladding and the safest product of its kind in the world, Alucopanel A1 continues to be the top choice for specifiers requiring the best in non-combustible cladding solutions.
