The Interlocking Panel System is a precision-engineered, concealed-fix metal cladding solution designed for contemporary architectural facades that demand clean, uninterrupted surface planes. Each panel interlocks seamlessly with its neighbours through an integrated male-female side-joint geometry.
Developed for both new-build and refurbishment applications, the system combines the structural integrity of heavy-gauge aluminium with an advanced joint design that accommodates thermal movement, wind loading, and differential structural deflection without compromising the clean monolithic aesthetic.
Concealed-Fix Interlocking Joint: Precision-engineered interlocking side-joint design that completely eliminates visible external fasteners. Panels slide and lock together mechanically.
Continuous Thermal & Acoustic Barrier: Integrated closed-cell foam insulation core bonded between two aluminium skins delivers U-Values down to 0.22W/(m²K) and up to 40dB acoustic attenuation.
Structural Wind-Load Resistance: Deep-profile interlocking geometry and heavy-gauge aluminium faces (0.7mm–1.2mm) provide exceptional rigidity, enabling wide panel spans of up to 6 metres.
Rain-Screen Ventilated Cavity: Fully ventilated, drained and pressure-equalised back cavity behind the interlocking panels, preventing moisture accumulation while allowing the facade to breathe naturally.
Rapid Cassette Installation: Factory-engineered interlocking panels arrive as ready-to-install cassettes with pre-punched interlock receivers, dramatically reducing on-site installation time.
Flat & Micro-Ribbed Aesthetics: Available in both perfectly flat seamless panels and micro-ribbed textured profiles, offering architects complete design freedom.
Non-Combustible Aluminium Core: All-aluminium construction with A2-s1,d0 fire classification provides inherent fire safety without additional intumescent coatings.
AkzoNobel Architectural Coatings: Premium PVDF and polyester powder coating systems available in over 200 colours with 25-year durability guarantees.
