The average do-it-yourselfer can do this just fine too, provided you use the right tools. For bonding Alupanel panels, we recommend the products of quality brand Bostik.

Properties of Alupanel
We call this type of sheet a sandwich sheet, because it is composed of three layers. The top layers are made of 0.3-millimetre-thick aluminium and the core consists of polyethylene. Aluminium composite boards can expand or contract at varying temperatures. You can use the board in temperatures from -50°C to +80°C. The board expands 0.24 mm per running metre when the board warms up by 10 degrees.
