Breaking Is Not an Option for Alstone Alcomb Claddings

Inspiration can come from anywhere; these panels take it from bee’s honeycomb-structured homes.

Bees are masters at building strong homes; the secret lies in the structure of their buildings. Their homes are made up of hexagonal cells that are stacked together, providing exceptional strength.

The purpose behind this form of build is simple- to store food, lay eggs, and protect their hive.

The core of our Alcomb claddings consists of a hexagonal grid that looks much like a bee’s nest. But instead of being made from wax, it’s formed from aluminum. This creates a lightweight grid work.

Science behind the structure

This honeycomb core is exceptionally stiff and evenly distributes force across the entire structure. This gives it tremendous strength while using far less material.

These lightweight yet strong cores are then laminated between two thin but rigid skin sheets made from metals or composite materials. This sandwiches the core and creates a panel that powerfully resists bending, and compression forces.

Moreover, the lightness of the structure helps in easier handling, lower transportation costs, and less foundation requirements for buildings.

In addition, these louvers are robust and durable, as they are resistant to harsh weather like rain and high winds.

Key Benefits

• Light weight
  • Alcomb takes the crown with its lightweight design. We’re talking 30% less weight than solid sheets for the same volume. Why does this matter? It makes installation a breeze, and it’s a game-changer when it comes to cutting down the weight of a building.
• High Strength & Stiffness
  • Alcomb takes the lead when it comes to strength and stiffness. It stands tall against the forces of nature, from powerful winds to heavy snow loads. This durability ensures that your structures not only look good but can withstand the test of time, providing security for architects and builders .
• Super Durable
  • These panels don’t back down from a challenge. It resists corrosion, fatigue, and wear of construction materials. This super durability translates into a long service life, minimizing maintenance costs and ensuring that your investment goes a long way.
• Fire Resistant
  • Safety is paramount, and Alcomb is A2 Grade fire resistant- the highest rating in fire repulsion. Its non-combustible core is a fortress against hazards. This quality is crucial in spaces where safety is non-negotiable.
• Energy Efficient
  • In a world where energy efficiency is the gold standard, Alcomb shines bright. Its low thermal transfer capabilities cut down heat flow, translating to reduced energy costs. It’s not just a wall – it’s a shield against energy waste.
• Noise Damping
  • Loud noises can be disturbing , Alstone Alcomb panels absorb vibrations and provides sound insulation that turns any space into a haven of tranquility.
• Creative Versatility
  • Alcomb isn’t just a practical choice; it’s a canvas for creativity. With various textures, shapes, colors, and finishes, it’s a playground for architects and designers. Whether you’re envisioning a sleek modern facade or a rustic finish, Alcomb adapts to your creative vision.

Conclusion
