Sandwich Elements for Roofs and Facades: ALUTHERM®
ALUTHERM Sandwich Elements the Key to Energy-Efficient, CostEffective and Sustainable Building
Aluform sandwich elements for roofs and walls have first-class insulation properties, are very energy-efficient and meet the stipulations of the German Energy Conservation Regulations for Buildings 2009. By using these products, it is possible to make an effective and sustainable contribution to protecting our climate.
Architects and building planners are going to have to assume a much greater responsibility for all future building and redevelopment projects than in the past.
Benefits If you use the aluminium shaped panels, this means: low weight resistance to the elements and corrosion a high degree of heat reflection potential no maintenance and an unrestricted serviceable life i.e. cost-effectiveness
ALUFORM guarantees that the German Energy Conservation Regulations for Buildings 2009 are followed with its sandwich elements and ensures that the best possible levels of sustainability can be achieved for building projects if its products are used.
ALUTHERM sandwich elements can be fitted on complete roofs or facade walls and provide heat insulation in one working cycle because of the high degree of pre-
The value of buildings can be maintained in the long term as a result of the high
fabrication that is used and this can normally take place whatever the weather conditions. Once they have been fitted, Alutherm roofs and walls require hardly any maintenance.
Alutherm sandwich elements are not only suitable for ecologically sound new buildings, but also for redeveloping existing constructions.
fire-proof levels and the environment is protected through these products, which provide heat insulation and have a long serviceable life.

Cost-effectiveness Ecological and economic issues are becoming increasingly important in the building sector. You can make a contribution towards cost-effective planning and design work by using ALUTHERM Aluform sandwich elements. This product combines the outstanding anti-corrosion properties and the low weight of aluminium, the high load-bearing capacity of the trapeze profile and the excellent heat insulation properties of the polyurethane rigid foam in an ideal way.
Surfaces Aluminium shaped panels can be supplied with a mill finish smooth, mill finish stucco embossed design or paint-coated surface and the sandwich elements with various standard colours. Colour systems or colours that deviate from normal standards can also be supplied if the order exceeds 500 m . The standard colour system can be accessed at www.aluform.de.
