Timber look aluminium coil sheets are a type of metal decorative material that mimics the appearance of natural wood grain. Using aluminum alloy coils as the base material, surface treatment processes such as spraying are applied to simulate various wood textures (such as oak, walnut, cherry, and teak), combining the strength and weather resistance of metal with the natural beauty of wood. Adopted advanced coating processes, such as fluorocarbon four roller coating, can highly simulate various wood textures, resulting in clear and natural patterns with strong decorative appeal, meeting the needs of different interior design styles. Wood grain aluminum coil sheets have a wide range of applications, commonly found on building facades, interior walls, ceilings, and furniture surfaces, enhancing both aesthetics and practicality.

Specifications of timber look aluminium coil sheet:

Material: 3003, 5005, etc. aluminum alloy

Thickness: 0.2mm – 3.0mm (coil commonly 0.3–1.2mm)

Width: Standard 600–1500mm, customizable upon request

Surface Treatment: PVDF fluorocarbon coating, etc.

Main features of the timber look alike aluminium coil sheet:

Aluminum substrate:

Primarily uses high-quality aluminum alloys, balancing strength and lightweight. Tensile strength reaches 100-280N/mm², with a 3.0mm thick aluminum sheet weighing only 8kg per square meter.

Weather resistance:

PVDF fluorocarbon coating ensures 50 years of colorfastness, adaptable to extreme environments from -50℃ to +80℃, suitable for long-term use in various regions.

Fire and corrosion resistance:

Class A fire resistance, superior corrosion resistance compared to solid wood, no need to worry about insects or mold for outdoor use.

Texture realism:

Timber grain can reproduce the knots and growth rings of natural woods such as red pine and sandalwood, or create unique patterns such as gradients and symmetry through creative design.

Tactile experience:

The textured surface mimics the natural feel of wood, with some products further enhanced by a 3D tactile coating.

Easy maintenance:

The smooth surface resists dust accumulation, making cleaning easy. It resists fading, cracking, and warping over long-term use.

Green building material:

Zero formaldehyde, pollution-free, and 100% recyclable, reducing deforestation and aligning with sustainable development principles.

Cost effectiveness:

Long-term operating costs are lower than solid wood, maintenance costs are reduced by over 60%, and a one-time investment provides 10-15 years of durability.

Applications of timber look aluminium:

Due to its aesthetic appeal, durability, and ease of processing, wood grain aluminum sheets are widely used in various fields. Here are some key application scenarios:

Building facades:

Used for exterior wall decoration, providing a natural wood feel while offering excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance.

Interior decoration:

Used on interior walls, ceilings, columns, etc., enhancing the aesthetics and warmth of a space.

Furniture manufacturing:

Used for furniture surface decoration, cabinet doors, etc., providing a wood-like appearance without adding weight.

Advertising signs:

Commonly used for making various advertising signs due to their excellent printability and weather resistance.

Partitions and screens:

Used for interior partitions and screens, providing both privacy and decorative appeal.

Balconies and terraces:

Used on railings and decorations of balconies and terraces to enhance the aesthetics of outdoor spaces.

Commercial spaces:

Provides a high-end, natural visual effect in the decoration of public places such as shopping malls, hotels, and restaurants.

Automotive interiors:

Sometimes used for interior decoration in automobiles, adding a sense of luxury.

Timber look aluminium coils have specific requirements for coating thickness, gloss, adhesion, and impact resistance. For example, PVDF (fluorocarbon) coating thickness ≥25 microns, POLYESTER (polyester) coating thickness ≥18 microns, adhesion no less than Grade 1, and impact resistance of 50 kg/cm without paint peeling or cracking.
