Precision-engineered composite and solid aluminium panels manufactured in accordance with EN 13501-1, ISO 9001, and QUALICOAT standards for high-rise, institutional, and coastal developments.
The architectural fabric of Barcelona and the broader Catalonia region presents a unique convergence of historical preservation, avant-garde design, and demanding climatic factors. As urban renewal sweeps through areas such as 22@ Barcelona (the innovation district in Poblenou), alongside massive coastal redevelopments along the Port Vell maritime corridor, exterior cladding is subject to severe performance vetting. For procurement directors, façade engineers, and general contractors (constructores), choosing the correct manufacturing supplier involves balancing strict compliance with the Spanish Building Code (Código Técnico de la Edificación - CTE), combatting coastal salinity, and satisfying high aesthetic standards.
Regulatory Update: In compliance with the updated CTE DB-SI 2 (Seguridad en caso de incendio), exterior façade cladding systems in Spain installed on buildings exceeding 18 metres in height, as well as hospitals, care homes, and schools of any height, must achieve an absolute minimum fire reaction classification of B-s3,d0. For tall residential towers and institutional icons, Class A2-s1,d0 non-combustible systems are standard engineering practice.
Cladding systems installed along Barcelona's coastline—from Diagonal Mar to the Llobregat delta—are constantly exposed to aggressive chloride-laden marine air, severe Mediterranean solar irradiance (UV index exceeding 9 in summer peak), and elevated humidity. Conventional polyester powder coatings or non-stabilized alloys frequently experience chalking, micro-cracking, and galvanic corrosion around fixing points within 36 to 48 months of handover.
Our direct-from-factory aluminium systems are engineered specifically for C4 and C5 atmospheric corrosivity categories as defined by ISO 12944. Utilizing 3000-series (AlMn) and 5000-series (AlMg) structural marine-grade aluminium alloys, our surfaces are protected by multi-coat Kynar 500® / Hylar 5000® 70% PVDF resin or high-build anodizing (20–25 microns according to QUALANOD standards). This ensures surface integrity, complete color retention (ΔE ≤ 2 after 10 years), and an impenetrable barrier against coastal salt crystallization.
Under the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and Spain's CTE DB-HE (Ahorro de energía), building envelopes across Barcelona must achieve strict thermal transmittance (U-value) thresholds to curb summer cooling requirements. The ventilated rainscreen (fachada ventilada) utilizing our aluminium composite and solid cassette systems is the preferred method among Catalan architectural studios for achieving high thermal efficiency.
By creating a continuous, open-jointed cavity (ranging from 30mm to 60mm) between the aluminium exterior cassette and the mineral wool thermal insulation, solar thermal gain is significantly lowered. The thermal chimney effect naturally drives warm air upwards and out through roof parapet details during humid Mediterranean summers, reducing indoor air conditioning energy loads by up to 35%. In winter, the system prevents cold bridges and eliminates structural condensation.
Sleek, high-modulus solid aluminium cassettes and perforated shading rainscreens offering high acoustic dampening and modern industrial aesthetics for leading tech offices and corporate headquarters.
Grade 5052-H32 solid alloy panels featuring specialized hydrophobic PVDF finishes engineered to eliminate sea-salt buildup and withstand marine-spray exposure in Barceloneta, Sitges, and Costa Brava.
Custom-milled, precision-anodized aluminium cladding tailored to replace deteriorated legacy façades, honoring historic proportions while adding high fireproofing and moisture resistance.
A2 fire-rated ACM sheet systems delivering cost-effective, non-combustible thermal envelopes for municipal public housing complexes across L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Badalona, and Montgat.
Interlocking heavy-gauge aluminium alloy sidings with concealed fasteners for warehouse terminals surrounding El Prat Airport and the expansive Port of Barcelona logistics park (ZAL).
Ultra-flat, vibration-resistant solid aluminium infill wall cladding featuring high mechanical impact tolerance and graffiti-resistant topcoats for urban transit nodes and parking structures.
Façade designers can compare technical properties between our core cladding solutions below to confirm structural calculations and system compatibility:
| System Type | Material Core / Alloy | Standard Thickness | Fire Classification (EN 13501) | Weight (kg/m²) | Recommended Building Heights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A2 Fireproof ACM | Inorganic Mineral Filled (90%+) | 4.0mm / 0.5mm skin | Class A2-s1, d0 | 7.8 – 8.2 | Unlimited (High-Rise > 18m) |
| FR Mineral ACM | Mineral Modified Polymer | 4.0mm / 0.5mm skin | Class B-s1, d0 | 6.8 – 7.2 | Up to 18m (CTE DB-SI Standard) |
| Solid Architectural Sheet | Alloy 3003-H14 / 5052-H32 | 2.0mm – 3.0mm | Class A1 (Non-Combustible) | 5.4 – 8.1 | Unlimited (No Height Cap) |
| Interlocking Siding | Extruded Alloy 6063-T5/T6 | 1.5mm – 2.2mm profile | Class A1 / A2 | 6.0 – 9.5 | Low-to-Mid Rise (< 28m) |
Direct sourcing from our integrated manufacturing plant eliminates intermediary supplier markups, shortens project execution schedules, and provides total control over profile tolerances and certification compliance.
Every production batch is certified against EN 13501-1 reaction-to-fire standards by accredited international laboratories. Complete CE declarations of performance (DoP) and laboratory dossiers accompany every shipping manifest.
We supply panels pre-routed, slotted, grooved, and stamped directly from 5-axis CNC machines based on your approved CAD/Revit schedules, reducing labor overhead and cutting site assembly times in half.
Our heavy-duty maritime export packing utilizes reinforced plywood crates, desiccant liners, protective peeling films, and corner buffers, shipping directly into the Port of Barcelona with full customs clearance support.
We match RAL, NCS, metallic, anodized, and mineral texture tones via computerized spectrophotometry. Our PPG/Sherwin-Williams licensed coating lines ensure consistent shade uniformity across panels.
Our engineering division assists architects and contractors with wind-load deflection calculations, bracket anchor analysis, thermal movement provisions, and on-demand mock-up sample boxes.
Send our technical team your architectural elevations, panel schedule, or BOQ. Our engineers will provide structural optimization advice, wind-load assessments, and competitive factory pricing within 24 hours.
