Make your metal facade rock! The Rockpanel Metals range delivers the prestige and precision appearance of metal in two collections – Elemental and Advanced.
The new range offers ultimate design freedom to architects who are looking for the appearance of a metal facade, but with all the advantages of rock to perfectly combine aesthetics with superior fire resilience, durability, low maintenance and sustainability. Non-combustible A2 rated Rockpanel Metals ticks all the boxes – and more.
In common with all Rockpanel facades, the Rockpanel Metals range is made using compressed natural basalt, a sustainable and readily available volcanic rock which uniquely combines the advantages of stone with the workability of wood. All Metals designs are non-directional to minimise waste and cut installation time.
The new Rockpanel Metals range consists of two collections. Elemental Metals includes precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum along with other primary metals including aluminium, steel and copper. Advanced Metals offer expressive, characterful surface options to give your facade a distinctive look. Thanks to advanced technology, they achieve exceptional, aged, surface finishes that last for decades.
Rockpanel Metals panels are robust yet lightweight and flexible. They can be precision perforated or engraved to realise the most creative vision. Durable, dimensionally stable and impervious to all types of weather, they require no treatment throughout their long life. They have an officially confirmed lifetime of 50 years. They can then also be fully recycled into new, high-quality stone wool products.
The A2 boards have an extremely high melting point (1000°C) and meet the most stringent fire regulations (Euroclass A2-s1,d0 – non-combustible). Several installation options are available, including concealed fixing and by invisible adhesive, all certified by the very stringent European Technical Assessment, ETA.
