    * Includes PE painted finishes, excludes Brushed and Mirror finishes

    ** Brushed finishes are produced from natural aluminium and therefore as a natural raw material and despite each sheet being very similar the production process can make the finish and tone differ slightly between sheets.

    *** Mirror (Gold and Silver) and Brushed finishes (Aluminium, Gold, Bronze, New Copper, Black) are printable but do not have a digital finish or guarantee. Please test print first and consult your hardware supplier for recommendations before printing on reflective surfaces.

    **** Brushed materials in coloured finishes (Gold, Bronze, Black, Copper) and mirror finishes (Gold, Silver) can be used outdoors for short term projects (see examples here in our gallery) however these products only have a 5-year warranty for internal use.

    Overview

    Alupanel Standard: PE paint finishes- 

     

    The Ultimate Fabrication Standard

     

    Alupanel is the premium choice for aluminium composite panels, renowned globally for its exceptional quality and versatility. As a result, Alupanel is perfect for creating stunning exterior displays, impactful signage, engaging advertising, and modern corporate ID projects. 

    Whether you need to grab attention with vibrant signage, create point-of-sale displays that pop, or design effective wayfinding solutions, Alupanel delivers.

    Alupanel is the ideal material for a wide array of applications, from eye-catching signage and displays to corporate ID and print projects 

    It comprises two 0.30mm surfaces bonded to a 100% recycled polyethylene core, sourced from the EU, ensuring exceptional durability and flatness. With the widest range of Polyester paint colours and finishes available in both Gloss and Matt finishes, including a vast selection of stock colours and the ability to match almost any RAL colour, Alupanel offers endless design possibilities.

    As the only aluminium composite panel manufactured in the UK, Alupanel guarantees the highest standards of quality and precision. Our efficient British engineering allows us to offer this exceptional quality at a competitive price, making Alupanel the right choice for your next project.

     

    Alupanel Metallics: Brushed finishes- 

     

    The Natural Standard for Brushed Metallic Finishes

     

    For projects where a genuine metallic look elevates the design, Alupanel Brushed brings the same 0.30mm fabrication-grade skin as standard Alupanel to a range of authentic brushed aluminium surfaces — natural Silver, or striking Black, Copper, Bronze and Gold tones. It folds, forms and routes exactly like the flagship range, making it the natural-finish choice for corporate ID, retail displays and feature signage that call for a raw, industrial aesthetic.

    Alupanel Brushed brings a genuine, natural metal finish to the trusted Alupanel platform, available in natural Silver or in striking Black, Copper, Bronze and Gold tones. Two 0.30mm aluminium skins are brushed to create a fine linear texture and bonded to Alupanel's 100% recycled polyethylene core, giving fabricators and sign-makers the same rigidity, flatness, and forming capability as the standard Alupanel range — but finished in raw or coloured metal rather than paint. The coloured range is supplied as a double-sided product: Brushed Black pairs with Brushed Copper on the reverse, and Brushed Bronze pairs with Brushed Gold on the reverse.

    Because the surface is a natural raw material rather than a factory-applied colour, tone and grain can vary subtly between individual sheets and production batches, so specifiers should order from a single batch for large or highly visible installations. Warranty cover differs by finish: Brushed Aluminium (Silver) carries the standard 5-year warranty for both internal and external use, while the Brushed Colours (Black, Copper, Bronze, Gold) carry a 5-year warranty for internal use — these coloured finishes can be used outdoors for short-term projects (see examples in our gallery), but external installations fall outside the warranty. All Brushed finishes are printable, though without a digital finish or guarantee — always test print first and consult your hardware supplier before printing on a reflective surface.

     

    Alupanel Metallics: Mirror finishes- 

     

    Reflective Brilliance for Statement Design
     

    When a design calls for reflective brilliance rather than a painted colour, Alupanel Mirror delivers a true mirror-polished aluminium surface in Gold or Silver, built on the same 0.30mm Alupanel platform. It is the statement-piece choice for feature signage, retail installations and eye-catching branded displays where light and reflection are part of the design.

    Alupanel Mirror pairs a genuine mirror-polished aluminium face - available in Gold or Silver - with the same 0.30mm skin and 100% recycled polyethylene core as standard Alupanel, giving fabricators the same fold, form and routing capability alongside a true reflective finish that no printed or laminated material can match. It is specified where a design needs to capture and reflect light: feature walls, retail displays, awards and recognition boards, and premium signage installations.

    The 5-year warranty on Mirror covers internal use; panels can be used outdoors for short-term projects (see examples in our gallery), but external installations fall outside the warranty. The surface is printable, though without a digital finish or guarantee - always test print first and consult your hardware supplier before printing on a reflective surface, and take care in specification and handling given the reflective face is more visible to marking and fingerprints than a painted finish.
