ALINEL TYPE F

Alinel, manufacturer of vertical aluminium cladding, impresses with a new type F facade cladding. Type F is a typical Alinel product, but reveals its individual character in an alternative mounting system and comb structure. "We already had the fastest mounting system on the market, but this system is even more ingenious. With the new tilt-hook system, less aluminium is needed for the same premium effect. It is an interesting addition to the existing range since it strengthens our competitive position in the market, also price-wise" explained Jan De Paepe, CEO of Alinel. Like Type D, type F cladding has fins, which creates a pronounced comb design, but with less aluminium used. Because less aluminium was needed, Alinel engineers could also redevelop the patented tongue-and-groove mounting system. The result is the innovative tilt-hook mounting system. With the innovative tilt-hook mounting system, a simple lifting movement causes one profile to hook into the next. Once linked in position, the profile can still be moved 2 millimetres to the left or right. Thus, fine adjustment stays possible, which ensures that the cladding always fits on the facade surface, down to the millimetre. Less aluminium creates the same premium and timeless look. Like Type D, this type exudes elegance and sophistication. And it adds flexibility. You as an architect are given endless opportunities to enrich your design with your own accents. Due to its lower specific gravity, Type F has a smaller ecological footprint as well. Which only adds to its eco-friendly character.
