Wallflex® aluminum panels can be cut and processed according to the customer’s specific requirements, enabling the creation of both flat and non-flat geometries. Thanks to their exceptional versatility, the panels can be transformed into L-shaped, U-shaped, tubular, or boxed components through folding techniques.
Processing is carried out using machinery similar to that used for woodworking and, to ensure precise tolerances in bends and edges, the panels are also machined on CNC equipment.
Starting from a flat panel, our carpentry department can create fully finished elements using cut-to-size processing, folded edges, and V-groove scoring. The result is a clean and seamless appearance with minimal visible joints, as well as improved structural rigidity.
WALLFLEX® PANEL FASTENING SYSTEMS
Wallflex® panels can be fixed in several ways, depending on project requirements:
- Rivets and threaded inserts: allow the connection between panels or with other materials/accessories. They can be through both skins or act on a single one.
- Screws, nuts, and bolts: standard self-tapping screws can be used for quick and secure fastening.
- Bonding: allows panels to be joined without visible hardware, achieving a clean aesthetic. Adhesives distribute loads evenly, provide liquid sealing, add minimal weight, and maintain the original geometry. Adhesive bonding also enables the attachment of various accessories.
WALLFLEX® PANEL EDGE FINISHING
Different edge-finishing options are available for Wallflex® panels, meeting both the aesthetic and functional needs of each project:
- Folding: the most widely used technique, enabling sharp edges with various angles. The edge features the same surface finish as the panel, ensuring visual continuity.
- Aluminum, plastic, or ABS extrusions: profiles with I, T, or C sections can be bonded to the panel edges.
- Aluminum or PVC tapes: glued to the panel edge, they cover the skin thickness and create a clean, uniform finish.
- Solid edge inserts: the panel can be edged with MDF, marine plywood, or solid aluminum, depending on specific project requirements.
