Double-Curved Aluminum Panels for Facades | 2.5mm PVDF | SEA Projects
Double-curved aluminum panels are a popular choice for modern facade architecture where designers want smooth, flowing surfaces and a high-end finish. For projects in Malaysia and Singapore, a durable coating and stable fabrication quality are key to long-term performance in humid, coastal, and high-UV environments.
At ZOLON Aluminium, we supply double-curved aluminum panels made from 2.5mm aluminum with PVDF coating, and we support the full project process—from shop drawings & detailing to installation system solutions—to help contractors and facade consultants deliver complex curved elevations efficiently.
Section 1： What are double-curved aluminum panels?
Double-curved panels are aluminum sheets formed into two-direction curvature, which allows architects to create elegant “wave”, “dome”, or “free-form” facade surfaces. Compared with flat panels, double-curved designs can achieve stronger visual impact, better continuity, and a premium architectural identity.
Typical applications
Landmark building facades and feature walls
Curved canopies, entrances, and soffits
Complex-shaped cladding for commercial and public projects
Section 2： Why 2.5mm + PVDF for Southeast Asia?
For Malaysia and Singapore projects, we recommend 2.5mm aluminum combined with PVDF coating for a balance of strength, flatness control, and exterior durability.
2.5mm thickness advantages
Better rigidity for curved surfaces
Reduced risk of oil-canning on large panels
More stable installation performance
PVDF coating advantages
Excellent UV resistance and color stability
Strong weather resistance in humid/coastal conditions
Easy maintenance and long service life
Section 3： Manufacturing & quality control
To deliver consistent double-curved geometry, fabrication accuracy is critical. We follow a controlled workflow from raw material to finished panel.
Key steps
Curve forming based on project drawings
Edge processing & reinforcing (if needed)
Surface treatment and PVDF coating
Trial fitting / inspection before shipment
What we check before delivery
Curvature accuracy and panel alignment
Coating appearance and color consistency
Packaging protection for safe transportation
Section 4： We support shop drawings & detailing
If you already have architectural intent drawings, we can support shop drawings, panel layout optimization, and detailing coordination.
Our support includes
Panel layout / joint suggestions
Fixing point planning and edge detailing
Coordination with sub-structure requirements
Production drawings confirmed before fabrication
This helps reduce site adjustment risk and ensures smooth installation scheduling.
Section 5： Installation system solution
For curved facades, reliable sub-structure and fixing logic are just as important as panel quality. We can propose a suitable installation system based on project conditions and design requirements.
We can provide
Matching installation accessories and fixing concept
System recommendations for different curvature and panel sizes
Technical support for contractor teams
Project focus: Malaysia & Singapore
We work with Southeast Asia clients who value fast response, stable lead time, and technical cooperation. If your project is in Malaysia or Singapore, you can send us drawings or facade intent, and we’ll help evaluate a practical solution.
