One of the many application fields of aluminum structural Wallflex® panel is shipbuilding. Strength, lightness and non combustibility are features that make this panel ideal for a wide range of application on board.
Aluminum structural Wallflex® panel is born to satisfy the naval demands and necessities.
Structural Wallflex® panel is ideal for shipbuilding:
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Lightness plus rigidity and strength
- High workability with standard tools, similar to ones used for wood working
- Non combustibility, MED certified
- Good noise reduction
- Dimensional stability
- Easy to install
- 100% recyclable
- Wide range of surface finishes (included powder painting)
Frequent Applications
The more frequent applications in shipbuilding are the following:
- Column covers
- Cylindrical or semi-cylindrical prop covers
- False ceilings
- Partition walls (Balcony of passenger cabins)
- Wall covers
- Inspection hatches
- Toilets
- Furniture
Wall covers
Structural Wallflex® panel can be used on board as walls or wall covers, both flat and curved, by using Wallflex® flat panel, Wallflex® monolayer panel or Wallflex® shaped panel. Thanks to the possibility to have different surface finishes, they can be integrated in the ship design.
False ceilings
It is possible to use aluminum Wallflex® panels as ceiling elements, with the help of a simple structure. That is possible thanks to Wallflex® panel’s lightness and dimensional stability.
