r sheets in architecture is 3003 H24 or 3003 H14 due to its good balance of strength and formability.
Packaging of Aluminium Veneer
Proper packaging for aluminium veneer is essential to protect the panels during transit and storage. This ensures they arrive at the construction site in perfect condition.
- Protective Film: Each panel typically has a thin plastic film on its surface to prevent scratches.
- Wooden Pallets: Panels are stacked on strong wooden pallets, offering a stable base.
- Corner Protectors: Cardboard or plastic protectors are often used on corners to prevent damage.
- Wooden Crates: For long-distance shipping or larger orders, panels may be packed in sturdy wooden crates for maximum protection.
- Strapping: Steel or plastic straps secure the panels to the pallet or within the crate.
Always check the aluminium veneer packaging upon arrival for any signs of damage.
