Custom Solid Aluminum Wall Panels for Exterior Facades

Solid aluminum wall panels made to project drawings

This product is for project-specific wall and facade panels rather than a fixed stock board. The panel schedule defines each module, including face dimensions, folded returns, corner conditions, openings, joint widths and visible direction. Flat panels, corner panels, column covers and shaped details need separate marks when their geometry or fixing arrangement changes.

The published product range lists 1100 and 3003 aluminum alloy references. Confirm the final alloy, temper and thickness against the project specification and approved drawings. Punchuk can review the available elevations, sections, details or three-dimensional model before confirming what can be fabricated and quoted.

Standard modules and custom wall panels

Repeated rectangular modules can simplify cutting, forming, labeling and installation when the elevation uses consistent dimensions. Custom modules are needed at corners, window returns, soffits, columns, entrances, curved zones and other transitions. A project can use both. The panel schedule should show where the repeated module stops and where a special drawing begins.

Thickness alone does not define performance. A wide panel with shallow returns behaves differently from a smaller panel with deeper returns and closer supports. Use the aluminum cladding thickness guide to review 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mm starting points, then confirm the final construction with the project engineer and approved shop drawings.

Drawing coordination before fabrication

Useful drawings identify more than the visible face size. They show the return depth, joint width, corner treatment, opening position, bracket interface and relationship to the supporting frame. Curved or faceted areas also need radius or control geometry, segmentation and seam locations. Keep panel marks consistent across drawings, production labels, packing lists and the installation sequence.

If the drawing package is incomplete, mark the open decisions. Punchuk can discuss fabrication feasibility and provide a preliminary quotation, but release final production only against an approved revision. The solid aluminum facade panel specification guide gives a fuller checklist for returns, reinforcement, fixings and inspection records.

Finish selection for exterior wall panels

PVDF coating is commonly specified for exposed exterior facade panels when the project defines a coating system, pretreatment, color, gloss or texture and an acceptance sample. Powder coating can be considered when the selected grade and pretreatment suit the exposure and specification. The finish schedule states which faces are exposed and how color will be checked before production.

A finish name by itself is not a complete instruction. Review the PVDF coating specification and quality-control guide for coating layers, dry film thickness, color, gloss, adhesion, cure control, samples and production records.

Fabrication and quality checks

1. Review panel marks, dimensions, returns, joints, corners, openings, radii, brackets and finish zones.
2. Check a difficult corner, curved detail, color, gloss or texture before repeating the module.
3. Cut, notch and fold the sheet to the approved revision while controlling visible edges and dimensions.
4. Match the welds, stiffeners and brackets to the approved panel geometry and support layout.
5. Prepare and coat the panels to the approved finish schedule and control sample.
6. Check panel IDs, dimensions, appearance and quantity, then protect finished faces and label packages for site handling.
