Coating Types
Coating Film Thickness Outdoor Colour Retention Specify For
PE (Polyester) ~16 microns 5 to 10 years Interior only. Most manufacturers do not offer warranty on PE coatings.
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) 25 to 35 microns 25 to 30+ years All exterior applications. Must contain minimum 70% PVDF resin (Kynar 500 certified). 10 to 15 years manufacturer warranty.
Installation Methods
Method How It Works Best For
Rout and Return (Cassette) V-groove routed on panel back, edges folded into a tray, hooked onto aluminium substructure with clip angles. All fixings concealed. All exterior facades, high-visibility projects. Preferred method to avail manufacturer warranty.
Direct Fix (Rivet/Screw) Panels cut to size, fastened directly to substructure using aluminium rivets or self-tapping screws through the panel face. Interior panelling, low-rise projects, signage.

For both methods, allow 10 to 15mm joint gaps between panels for thermal movement, sealed with neutral-cure silicone sealant.
