Aluminum veneer material is currently more popular as a building decoration material, its thickness is generally between 2.5-4mm. Aluminum veneer has the advantages of light weight, high strength, strong wind pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, not easy to deform, color variety, and has a good waterproof performance, but not absolutely waterproof.
First of all, the waterproof performance of aluminum veneer itself depends on the surface coating of aluminum veneer and its thickness. Usually, the surface coating of aluminum veneer includes fluorocarbon coating, polyester coating and fluorocarbon/polyester hybrid coating, etc., of which fluorocarbon coating is currently a high-end coating, with good weather resistance and waterproof. The thickness of the surface coating will also affect the waterproof performance of aluminum veneer, generally speaking, the greater the coating thickness, the better the waterproof performance.
Secondly, in addition to the waterproof performance of aluminum veneer itself, the installation process will also affect its waterproof performance. Aluminum veneer installation needs to set sealing tape and aluminum bolts and other materials for sealing to ensure that the connection between aluminum veneer and building structure has a certain degree of sealing. If the installation of sealing tape and aluminum bolts are not in place, or the quality of the sealing material itself has problems, will affect the waterproof performance of aluminum veneer.
Finally, the aluminum veneer in use, because of the role of natural forces and the impact of external factors, resulting in bending or cracking and other problems, these problems will also affect the waterproof performance of aluminum veneer.
In general, aluminum veneer has good waterproof performance, but not absolutely waterproof. In actual use, need to pay attention to the surface coating and thickness of aluminum veneer, installation process and routine maintenance, to ensure that the waterproof performance of aluminum veneer has a better effect.
