One of the many application fields of aluminum structural Wallflex panel is shipbuilding. Strength, lightness and non combustibility are features that make this panel ideal for a wide range of application on board.
Aluminum structural Wallflex panel is born to satisfy the naval demands and necessities.
Structural Wallflex panel is ideal for shipbuilding:
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Lightness plus rigidity and strength
- High workability with standard tools, similar to ones used for wood working
- Non combustibility, MED certified
- Good noise reduction
- Dimensional stability
- Easy to install
- 100% recyclable
- Wide range of surface finishes (included powder painting)
Frequent Applications
The more frequent applications in shipbuilding are the following:
- Column covers
- Cylindrical or semi-cylindrical prop covers
- False ceilings
- Partition walls (Balcony of passenger cabins)
- Wall covers
- Inspection hatches
- Toilets
- Furniture
Wall covers
Structural Wallflex panel can be used on board as walls or wall covers, both flat and curved, by using Wallflex flat panel, Wallflex monolayer panel or Wallflex shaped panel. Thanks to the possibility to have different surface finishes, they can be integrated in the ship design.
False ceilings
It is possible to use aluminum Wallflex panels as ceiling elements, with the help of a simple structure. That is possible thanks to Wallflex panel’s lightness and dimensional stability.
