As a result of the need to create a durable and creative solution for the most innovative of projects, Krion has developed Alluslate®, a composite wall panel made up of two resistant and malleable outer layers of aluminium, where the upper layer is decorated with advanced printing techniques.
Alluslate can be installed as
Its composition, made of aluminium and composite, provides great resistance and its surface is decorated using advanced printing techniques that have subsequently been protected by a coating that determines its finish, Matt or Glazed, allowing for the creation of premium quality designs.

Yes, in addition to their large-format (1200 x 2600 mm), they are so light that they are easily transported and handled. As such, they can be used to cover large spaces in a short space of time, making them perfect wall tiles to be installed for a quick change of decoration in commercial or residential areas where work needs to be carried out quickly and cleanly.
It's light and easy to install: Alluslate® composite and technical aluminium panels, despite their large format, are incredibly light and resistant. They have an excellent surface area/weight ratio of 6.7 kg/m2 (approx), which allows them to be handled by a single person, facilitating their transportation and installation.
Thanks to their stability, low weight and large surface coverage, their installation is quick, simple, noise-free and dust-free. In addition, it is not necessary to remove the previous material as they can be installed on top of the vast majority of materials.
The panels are covered by a technical protective layer that surrounds the decoration, protecting them from damage. Alluslate®, whether Matt or Glazed, does not absorb liquid, so it can be installed in splash areas such as shower walls or behind sinks.
Thanks to the final treatment on their surface, these panels are highly resistant to dirt, preventing stains from penetrating their deeper layers and affecting the design.
Alluslate® models are exclusive as their designs have been developed by our Design Department as though they were handcrafted. Each of these drawings is put through a high-quality digitisation process in order to, at a later date, decorate the panels using advanced digital printing techniques.
These procedures provide clear contrasting images with vivid colours, offering exceptional resolution and quality.
The composition is based on aluminium and the core of the panel is composed of a low-density thermoplastic polymer (LDPE) with a flame retardant mineral charge. All of this results in a material with innovative properties to protect against fire. The panel's Euroclass classification is B s1 d0.
The Alluslate® technical aluminium and composite wall panels allow complex machining without impacting on the panel structure. These panels do not accumulate tension, so they can be drilled, cut or bent to work around columns, corners, plugs and other wall elements.
Technical aluminium panels can be transformed in a workshop or on site using basic tools such as drills, a manual milling machine or a circular saw, or many other tools used in carpentry or metal work.
Alluslate® aluminium panels with a Matt finish can be bent using simple milling techniques on the back of the panel and then bent over. This technique allows the creation of internal or external corners without joints, with material continuity which maintains the characteristics of the panel.
To create bends or curves with Matt finish Alluslate® aluminium panels, the best option is to use a roller bending machine, but you could also use a membrane press and its corresponding mould with no need to employ heat.
The material is supplied with rectified sides, so it can be installed in the following ways:
In the event that the panels are to be installed in damp environments, we recommend this head-to-head installation and the use of the appropriate sealant between the panels to avoid filtration.
Profiles can be used when required for the installation.
Alluslate® can be used to create continuous, infinite designs by placing the pieces successively, both horizontally and vertically, so that the panel motifs coincide in all directions. Some of its models with these characteristics are:
Alluslate® Capricce Nero
Amazonic: The leaves of the Amazon rainforest are the protagonists of this design, which conveys freshness and dynamism. Greenery can be present in your space without the need for further decoration.
Alluslate® Amazonic Light Matt
Nostalgia: A series with a vintage touch that stands out due to the delicacy and elegance of its pastel tones and floral motifs and is used to create soft spaces full of feeling.
Alluslate® Nostalgia Pink
These large-format tiles also have models that are designed to create horizontal continuity by placing the panels successively and in the correct order.
Alluslate® Bericcio Grey
Calacatta: Reminiscent of the classic Calacatta marble, this design integrates purplish veins to create sophisticated and truly memorable spaces.
Alluslate® Calacatta Viola
Forest: Inspired by the green marble of India, this design takes over the space, filling it with natural nuances and textures.
Alluslate® Forest Green
If you are looking for a more random design, with freestyle decoration and no continuous graphic development through the different pieces, Alluslate® offers these models that can be installed in a random fashion:
Alluslate® Peak Topo
Materica: A collection that reflects the simplicity and the light textures of the raw materials to increase the aesthetic possibility of each project..
