IT is strong, lightweight, easily fabricated and extraordinarily flat, yet capable of smooth, graceful curves. And, its core, face, and liner are all noncombustible.

Today, creative designers are demanding more from metal curtain wall systems as they seek ever flatter, larger, more easily sculptured panels that will meet stringent fire code requirements.

The Formacore all-metal panel meets these challenges using a unique composite design featuring an aluminium honeycomb core bonded to an aluminium face and liner. The result is a very flat and even panel with excellent peel strength and outstanding fire performance characteristics that weighs just 1 lb. per square foot.

Available in a variety of panel edges, thicknesses, and densities, it can interface anywhere in the curtain wall system; as a spandrel panel, or for soffits or fascia in conjunction with glazing. Complex bends, curves, rigid square corners, round column covers, sunshades, soffits, fascia, and obtuse and oblique angles can all be fabricated easily using standard techniques. Field cutting and drilling is also quick and easy using conventional tools and methods.
