This month, we would like to introduce you the QuadroClad™ Metal Façade Panels, a great product from Hunter Douglas Contract.

QuadroClad™ Aluminum panels feature flat or curved planes for a smooth, uniform appearance. Durable aluminum panels are available in either anodized or painted finishes and a wide range of colors. Installation is executed on the same substructure as glass and resin panels, allowing all panels to be used in combination.

Panels constructed with fabrication technology used in the aerospace industry to create lightweight, extremely strong panels. Each panel sandwiches a stable metal honeycomb between two skins of smooth, coil-coated aluminum. Layers are bonded together with high-quality adhesives to form a monolithic mechanical construction.

The result: Optimal quality control. Maximum flexibility. The ability to withstand the most severe environmental conditions.

Features & Benefits at a Glance

- Open-joint rainscreen façade systems control rain penetration, maintain ventilation, and provide thermal insulation.
- Honeycomb construction enables exceptionally large, flat modules up to 1500 mm (4.9 ft) wide and 4500 mm (14.8 ft) long.
- Metal panels fully integrate with QuadroClad glass and resin panels on the same plane.
- Ideal for both new construction and over-cladding projects. Full CAD and project management support available.
