Overview
Alupanel Traffic Temporary is the purpose-engineered substrate for short-term and worksite traffic management signage, where a balance of essential rigidity, light handling weight, and cost-efficiency is required. Constructed with a 0.20mm aluminium skin bonded to a polyethylene core, it provides the structural performance needed to support retroreflective films and withstand worksite handling whilst remaining significantly lighter and more portable than permanent-grade panels.
Designed for rapid deployment in temporary traffic management, road works, event diversions, and construction site safety, Alupanel Traffic Temporary provides sign contractors and hire companies with a reliable, cost-effective substrate that performs throughout the duration of a project without the specification overhead of a permanent-grade panel. Its smooth, high-bond surface ensures dependable adhesion of retroreflective sheeting and vinyl graphics for the full duration of a temporary installation.
Available in standard sheet sizes optimised for common temporary sign formats, Alupanel Traffic Temporary is the practical, value-conscious choice for high-volume temporary traffic management programmes where durability, portability, and competitive unit cost are the key priorities.
Key Benefits
Purpose-Built for Temporary Traffic Management
Specifically engineered for short-term road works, event diversions, and construction site safety signage, providing the right balance of performance and cost for temporary applications.
0.20mm Skin for Lightweight Handling
The reduced skin thickness delivers significant weight savings over permanent-grade panels, enabling faster deployment, easier handling on site, and reduced transport costs for high-volume temporary sign programmes.
Reliable Reflective Film Bond Surface
The factory-applied paint finish provides dependable adhesion for retroreflective sheeting and self-adhesive vinyl graphics across the full duration of a temporary installation.
Cost-Effective at Volume
Optimised for the price pressures of temporary traffic management programmes, providing a professionally manufactured UK substrate at a competitive unit cost for high-volume contract requirements.
Proven Outdoor Durability
Despite its lighter profile, the UV-stable aluminium construction and polyester paint finish provide reliable performance across typical temporary installation durations in all UK weather conditions.
Manufactured in the UK
British manufacture ensures rapid stock availability and consistent quality for time-critical traffic management contracts, reducing lead times and supply risk.
