Design

Etalbond consists of:

• The front aluminium

   sheet, pre-painted with primer

The total thickness of etalbond ranges from 3 to 6mm.

Etalbond is produced in a very wide range of standard and non-standard colours.

Advantages

The main advantages of etalbond are:

• increased rigidity and durability
• low weight
• weather and UV
  Ultraviolet
  Ultraviolet light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays, in the range 10 nm to 400 nm, and energies from 3 eV to 124 eV...
  
   resistance
• easy forming and processing

Applications

Etalbond is mainly used for external and internal architectural cladding
