Alluslate®: The aluminum composite panels that are a surprising new feature in interior decoration

What is Alluslate®? The composite and aluminium wall cladding panels that are revolutionising interior design

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

Composition of Alluslate®, the new aluminium composite wall cladding panel

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.

Are they large-format wall coverings? Discover what composite and aluminium wall cladding panels can offer you

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.

 

The best of Alluslate®

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.

Resistant to moisture and water:

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.

Easy cleaning:

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.

Basic tools such as microfibre cloths, soapy water or concentrated soap are recommended for maintenance and cleaning.

High-definition designs: 

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.
 

Fire resistance:

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.

 

What technical solutions does Alluslate® allow? One of the best aluminium composite cladding panel solutions

Complex machining

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.

 

Continuous solutions

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.

Say yes to curves

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.

 

Different connection options

The material is supplied with rectified sides, so it can be installed in the following ways:

 

Versatility of Alluslate® designs

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

 

Alluslate® Amazonic Light Matt

 

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

 

Alluslate® Calacatta Viola

 

Alluslate® Forest Green

 

Inspired by nature, these finishes offer a warm and welcoming aesthetic that transforms any space into a haven of elegance and sophistication. Oak captures the essence of oak, providing a soft and luminous tone that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. Walnut, on the other hand, offers a rich, dark hue that infuses spaces with an air of nobility and distinction. Alluslate® Timber combines design and durability, ideal for commercial and hospitality environments. 

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:
