Lattice Core
Lattice Composite Panel
Aluminium lattice core delivers high rigidity at low weight — the strength of honeycomb construction with ACP economics.
Stainless / Copper
Metal Composite Panel
Stainless, copper and other metal skins laminated in-house for premium architectural expressions.
Product Overview
Metal Composite Panel At A Glance
Not every project wants painted aluminum. A metal composite panel keeps the composite build — two skins bonded to a core — but swaps the aluminum face for stainless steel, copper or another architectural metal, so the elevation shows a genuine metal surface.
Our precision coating line already handles stainless steel coil, and lamination is done on the same line as the rest of the range, so the panel behaves like ACP on site while reading as solid metal on the wall.
Key Benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Panel
01
A real metal surface
The material is the finish, not a print of it.
02
Composite weight and handling
Far lighter than solid sheet in the same metal.
03
Flatter than thin solid sheet
The composite build resists the waviness that thin metal sheet shows.
04
Fabricated like ACP
Routing and folding on familiar tooling.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Used
Entrances, lobbies and signature elevations
Where the material has to look expensive because it is.
Lift interiors and feature walls
Stainless surfaces that resist handling.
Column covers and reveals
Metal detailing against a coated main elevation.
Retail and hospitality interiors
Copper and bronze tones as accent surfaces.
Who It Is For
- Architects specifying architectural metal
- Interior designers and fit-out contractors
- Facade fabricators on signature projects
- Shopfitters building premium retail
Problems It Solves
- Solid metal sheet is heavy and expensiveA composite build gives the surface at a fraction of the weight and cost.
- Thin sheet looks wavyComposite construction holds the plane far better.
- Dents on handlingA cored panel resists knocks that would mark a thin single skin.

Use Guide
How To Specify And Order
- Confirm the metal and the finish firstAvailability and lead time follow the coil, not the lamination.
- Plan for handlingMetal faces mark more easily than coated aluminum before installation.
- Ask about fire-rated coresMetal skins can be laminated to B1 or A2 core where the code requires it.
FAQ
Metal Composite Panel FAQ
Which metals can you laminate?
Stainless steel and copper are the usual requests; other architectural metals are possible. Tell us the metal, the finish and the quantity and we will confirm.
Is a metal composite panel fire-rated?
The rating is set by the core. Metal skins can be laminated to B1 or A2 core for code-regulated projects.
What is the minimum order?
Metal composite is produced to order rather than stocked. Send the area, sizes and metal and we will quote the run.
