Frequently Asked Questions
Can this aluminium composite panel be used outdoors?
Yes, the aluminium composite construction is suitable for external signage and display use when installed correctly. For long-term outdoor applications, ensure that the printed or laminated surface is appropriately protected and that all fixings and edge details are designed to prevent water ingress.
How can I cut and fabricate the panels to size?
The panels can be cut using common tools such as a circular saw with a suitable blade, jigsaw, router or guillotine. They can also be routed to create folds and returns. Always support the sheet properly, use sharp tools, and follow the equipment manufacturer’s safety guidance.
Is the surface suitable for direct printing as well as vinyl graphics?
Yes, the smooth aluminium skin provides an excellent surface for direct digital printing and screen printing, and it also works very well with self-adhesive vinyl graphics. Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from grease or dust before printing or applying vinyl to achieve the best adhesion and print quality.
