Have you seen the Statue of Liberty, shining bright in the sun? Would you believe that this 200,000-pound Copper clad statue has survived over a hundred years of glory against scorching heat and sun, corrosive sea wind and pollution?
Copper surfaces indeed stand the test of time, and the long-standing ancient Japanese Temples and European Cathedrals are the proof of this Metal’s power of beauty and longevity. From being anti-microbial to being potent enough to last for centuries – here are the few cookie points that made us choose Copper Composite Panels as the Architect’s muse.
Stunning Aesthetics – Patina 101
The warm red and orange undertones of newly installed Copper Composite Panels will vouch for your sense of aesthetics and sophistication. Besides, the dynamic beauty of Aludecor Copper Composite Panels will impart fluid grace to your dream spaces. Shades CU-01 Copper Clear and CU-02 Copper Classic will reveal unpredictable surface patterns as it starts to form Patina over time. Part of Copper’s natural charm, the surface of Copper Composite Panels will start to oxidize as soon as it is exposed to atmospheric agents such as air, surrounding materials and their chemical emission properties, and even sebum from human touch. The Patina formation imparts a regal, weathered look that keeps getting better with time.
Freshly installed Copper Composite Panels have a bare Copper sheen and tone, but it is just a trailer! Soon it transforms into bright orange while also setting into deep russet hues. As the Patina formation continues, you are bound to get mesmerized by the dark brown tones and finally a bluish-green tone of Patina formation that is sure to transform your dream space into a curated piece of contemporary art. The Copper Composite Panels will start developing Patina in 5-7 years while Copper surfaces in the suburbs and rural areas, may experience Patina formation in 10-14 years owing to the lesser content of airborne Sulfur Dioxide.

Aludecor Copper Composite Panels have been installed in a residential bungalow in Surat, Gujarat and have earned appraisals for its unparalleled beauty and efficiency. Besides, the Glassco Lab at Ambala, Haryana has used Aludecor Copper Composite Panels as a premium microbe-resistant surface composite material in the façade which makes the whole building look elegant and protected. The Hotel Las Vegas situated in Jaipur, Rajasthan also stands testimonial to the durability and charming beauty of Aludecor Copper Composite Panels.
Aludecor Copper Composite Panels are designed to impress. The beauty of these Copper sheets is going to transform mundane designs into high-class art. Ideal to be installed in exterior façade surfaces or interiors, our Copper Composite Panels promise to be the showstopper!
Impressive Durability
Copper has been used for centuries in building irrigation systems, plumbing pipes and roofing solutions. Copper surfaces show excellent resistance to water, but this with the anti-microbial features, make Copper a superb choice of Metal to be used in building systems that come in regular contact with water as well as systems that need stable microbe-resistant surfaces.
Aludecor Copper Composite Panels are light in weight. Having less density, our Copper Composite Panels are easier to support structurally. Besides, Aludecor Copper Composite Panels boast great tensile strength, high melting point and amazing fire-resistant qualities. The Panels can also be customized in our Fire retardant range in class A2, B or 0 grades that promise to offer significant resistance and protection against fire incidents. Our FireWall A2 customization is bound to make the Copper Composite Panels ideal to be installed in high-rises beyond 15 meters of height. The FireWall A2 customization transforms the core with 90% mineral content that releases negligible heat, no smoke and produces zero flaming droplets while also stopping the fire from spreading. Furthermore, Aludecor Copper Composite Panels show extremely superior corrosion resistant properties.
Aludecor Copper Composite Panels offer unparalleled flatness that makes them a fantastic choice to clad innovative facades, roofing solutions and interiors. We guarantee easy fabrication owing to the Panel’s easy moldability to suit any design.
Environmental Friendly and Sustainable
The superior durability of Aludecor Copper Composite Panels also certifies it as requiring minimal repair and replacement. Our Copper Composite Panels are highly recyclable and have a lesser impact on natural resources. Its 90-100% recyclability lets it use lesser energy (compared to Aluminium and Steel) at the Production Unit. Aludecor Copper Composite Panels also equate into low maintenance and long life cycle. Being energy efficient, Aludecor Copper Composite Panels also enable buildings to certify for LEED points. We guarantee 100% clear water runoff for our Copper Composite Panels.

Anti-microbial
Aludecor Copper Composite Panels can help reduce Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs). The surface of our Copper Composite Panels can diminish drug-resistant strains of bacteria, microbes and virus. Copper surfaces and the health benefits that come with it are poorly acknowledged. Many healthcare professionals name Silver surfaces as an anti-bacterial solution. Still, they often miss out the vital point, which is; it is not Silver surfaces that work to eliminate microbes- it actually is moisture that binds with Silver to make it lethal for the microbes! Now, the Silver surface is more expensive than Copper surfaces. Copper surfaces are easier to install and offer way more efficient microbe-resistant features than that of Silver surfaces!
In the wake of Global Pandemics such as SARS Pandemic or the more contemporary COVID-19 Pandemic, we at Aludecor remain confident to suggest using Aludecor Copper Composite Panels in Healthcare units, hospitals, pharmaceutical factories, pathology and chemical labs, schools, medical shops, residential and industrial kitchens. Our CCPs (Copper Composite Panels) can also be installed at Railway Stations, Ports and Airports- areas that see high traffic. Check out how effective Copper surfaces are against microbes through the images below:
Definitely Cost-effective
Copper surfaces may seem to be of higher value than cheap alternatives, which needs to be reinstalled and maintained often. Aludecor Copper Composite Panels possess great salvage value, require minimal maintenance and promises maximum durability. These Panels are water resistance and thus will show no water-related damage, mould-related problems or corrosion-related weathering. Aludecor Copper Composite Panels can be installed with fasteners and extrusions made of Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Galvanized Steel. Our CCPs come with a strip-off film for protection during fabrication and installation.
Aludecor Copper composite Panels tick all the right boxes when it comes to being the sustainable muse of Builders, Architects and Fabricators. Call us at 1800 102 0407, today, to experience the difference!
