Wood grain aluminum veneer is a kind of high-end luxury building material with decorative effect, and its basis is the use of high-grade aluminum alloy plate. The material goes through a series of sheet metal processing steps, including sizing, scribing, bending, welding, grinding, assembling, polishing, etc. After that, the wood grain pattern is printed onto the surface of the aluminum veneer through advanced wood grain heat transfer technology. The material has a fire rating of up to A2 and has gradually become the preferred decorative material for high-end buildings.
Thermal transfer is a thought-provoking process, but understanding its intricacies is a must for façade professionals. Before printing the wood grain heat transfer paper onto the aluminum veneer, the aluminum veneer must be sprayed with primer + topcoat + varnish or primer + topcoat. This undercoat can be coated with polyester powder or with fluorocarbon powder for better weather resistance.
The most significant feature of wood grain aluminum veneer is its beautiful appearance, and the wood grain pattern is diverse, and the texture is clear.
Compared with traditional solid wood, wood grain aluminum veneer is superior in fire rating, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, hardness and strength.
In addition, it is highly malleable and can be processed into a variety of complex shapes. It is also loved for its corrosion resistance, impact resistance, aging resistance, wear resistance, fire resistance and other aspects.
It has a service life of up to 10 years and does not change its color and shape during this time. The wood grain is printed on the surface of the aluminum plate through heat transfer technology, and the color is long-lasting and not easy to fade, and the realistic wood grain enhances the texture of the decorative space.
Moreover, the back of the aluminum plate can also be filled with materials such as thermal insulation, sound insulation, and sound absorption. Most importantly, this material is 100% reusable, which is of great significance for the protection of the ecological environment.
