Metal carving board

Metal carving boards are three-layer composite wall panels with a high quality color relief facing metal plate treated by baking and painting process. The surface is a high quality relief facing metal plate treated by a baking and painting process. The middle layer is a flame retardant treated, high density polyurethane foam core, and the bottom face carries an aluminum foil protective layer for heat insulation and moisture protection. You will also see the panel sold as carved metal plate or PU carving board. On a purchase order, the description that governs the supply is the layer stack, not the trade name.

Metal carved board mainly has four core energy-saving technologies: special aluminized galvanized steel plate, rigid foamed polyurethane, reflective film and air layer.Because the wallboard itself has the characteristics of heat insulation, waterproof and flame retardant, light shock resistance, convenient construction, sound insulation and noise reduction, green environmental protection, beautiful and durable, and because the splicing method is simple and applicable, it is not limited by the seasonal environment.

Therefore, the installation and use is very safe and convenient, suitable for all seasons.This innovative exterior wall thermal insulation and decorative board highlights its absolute advantage.

The steel face comes off the same coil coating line that supplies our PPGI coil and galvalume metal sheet ranges, so the coating system on a carving board is the one we run on flat stock every day. Steel is the backbone material of modern construction, as the Britannica overview of steel lays out, and the carving board puts it to work as both structure and finish. Decorative surface patterns, including printed finishes, are covered on the wood grain color coated steel coil page.

What the performance numbers mean

The numbers above decide whether a panel survives your site, so here is what each one buys you.

At 3.6 kg per square meter and 16 mm thick, one worker can handle a full-length board without a crane. That is the difference between a wall that goes up in days and one that needs scaffolding and a crew.

The thermal numbers do the selling in winter and summer. A conductivity of 0.018 W/m·K and a resistance of 2.09 m²·K/W at 16 mm cut the heating and cooling load through the wall for the life of the building. The reflective film and air layer in the stack add to that effect, which is where the energy savings on the original building come from.

Fire protection comes from three layers working together. The panel carries a B1 fire rating: the steel face will not feed a flame, the polyurethane core is treated to slow ignition, and the aluminum foil bottom closes the back of the assembly.

Water and weather numbers suit outdoor duty. Water absorption sits at 0.08%, and the compact structure keeps rain and snow out of the wall cavity. Salt spray resistance of 100 hours or more handles coastal and high humidity sites, and the 8.0 kPa wind resistance covers normal facade wind loads.

Mechanically, the panel takes handling and impact without cracking. Compressive strength of 52.7 kPa matters on sites where boards are stored flat and leaned against frames, and the light weight keeps transport and installation costs down.

With the PVDF or HDP coating system, the board holds its color and pattern for 15 to 25 years, and the panel can be dismantled and re-used if the facade is ever redesigned.

Advantages of the carving board

Most of the advantage shows up in the schedule, not just the spec sheet.

• Thermal insulation cuts the energy consumption of heating and cooling, so the building pays less every season it runs.
• The waterproof, moistureproof structure keeps rain and snow out of the wall, which is what protects the insulation value over time.
• Fire and flame retardant performance comes from the metal face, the treated core and the aluminum foil bottom working together.
• The panel is environmentally friendly and durable. It does not decompose or grow mildew, it cleans easily, and it can be dismantled and re-used.
• Light weight with high strength gives good shock resistance and crack prevention, which suits light steel structure buildings.
• The relief pattern and rich colors give architectural design room to play, at a fraction of the cost of cast or carved stone.

Patterns and colors

The board is sold on its looks as much as its numbers. The product line carries hundreds of relief patterns and color combinations, so a facade can carry a repeating motif, a single feature wall or a mixed pattern scheme. Coating runs in HDP or PVDF, the same paint systems used on architectural coil, which is what keeps the color stable under UV for the 15 to 25 year service life.

Because the pattern is pressed and painted rather than cast, custom artwork is practical. Send a drawing or a reference photo and the pattern roll is engraved to match.

Where the carving board is used

The panel suits any facade that needs insulation and decoration in one step:

• New construction: exterior wall thermal insulation and decoration for brick-concrete, frame structure, steel structure and light steel houses
• Renovation: the decorative and energy-saving upgrade of existing buildings without stripping the old wall
• Indoor and outdoor decoration: feature walls, entrance surrounds, boundary walls and interior panels
• Commercial and residential projects: villas, hotels, office fronts, retail fronts and municipal buildings

You can hang it in any season. The splicing method is simple and the board is not limited by the seasonal environment, so there is no mortar, no curing time and no weather window to schedule around.

Installation in three steps

The board hangs on a frame and splices edge to edge.

1. Fix the frame or brackets to the wall, leveled.
2. Hang the boards from the bottom course up, splicing each board into the next.
3. Finish the edges with matching trim and sealant at corners and openings.

Because the panel weighs 3.6 kg per square meter, no heavy lifting equipment is needed, and because nothing on site needs to dry, the wall is finished the day the boards go up.

Metal carved board products have hundreds of relief patterns and color combinations.
The luxurious and beautiful decorative effect of the carved board makes the building show taste and taste. Its simple and flexible disassembly mode makes it easy to change the design and collocation of the wall.

The board is not only suitable for the thermal insulation decoration of external walls such as new brick-concrete layout, frame structure, steel structure and light houses, but also for the decoration and energy-saving renovation of existing buildings, as well as indoor and outdoor decoration.

Why choose Wanzhi

We are an integrated industrial and trade company that produces steel independently, which removes a layer of margin and lets us respond to orders quickly. The carving board runs on the same coating line and quality system as our flat coil products: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, with SGS and BV inspection available on request.

Our test center runs a salt spray chamber and a UV accelerated weathering tester, so coating claims on the carving board are measured on real panels, not taken from the paint datasheet. The model room carries the full pattern range, and our warehousing and logistics handle export packing for long sea freight. If your project also uses flat coated steel, the TPO laminated sandwich panel covers the roofing side of the same building envelope, and the all products index lists the full range.

Send your pattern, color, quantity and destination through the contact page and we will quote the same day.

Service cases

Steel buyers who started with a sample now ship by the container load. A few documented projects:

• How a Bolivia buyer went from a $53 sample to an 8th TFS order, a distributor relationship that grew to 120-ton shipments in eighteen months.
• 65 tons of AZ120 aluzinc steel sheet to Indonesia, cut to three sizes for Jakarta in a tropical coastal market.
• PPGI coil Kenya: 452T in two orders, PVOC/COC cleared, five RAL colors across two gauges with a passed third-party inspection between them.
