ALUCOBOND® A2
Our non-combustible aluminium composite panel.
ALUCOBOND® A2 is our non-combustible aluminium composite panel for façades which meets all relevant standards worldwide. ALUCOBOND® A2 fulfils very exacting requirements of the fire safety regulations thanks to the mineral-filled core, and increases the scope for building concepts and design. Like all products in the ALUCOBOND® family, ALUCOBOND® A2 is easy to process, break-proof, impact-resistant, weather-resistant and, most notably, non-combustible.

Wind loads and panel dimensions
In Germany, the dimensioning of ALUCOBOND® façade systems is regulated by the general building approval (abZ) No. Z-10.3-774. In the Technical Extras section, you can find this and other documents, including load tables, dimensioning aids and various design examples at Technical extras.
