Thinking metal?
Think again. Think rock.
Metals are strong, malleable and lustrous. They have been
around for centuries. The age of the industrial revolution
may be long gone, but the style remains. A metallic look is
timeless and will never go out of fashion.
From a light silver or dark steel to a warm gold or copper:
a metallic sheen is the ultimate addition to any building if
you’re going for a contemporary or industrial look.
Rockpanel Metals cladding is produced from compressed
natural basalt, a sustainable and readily available volcanic
rock from which all Rockpanel products derive their unique
properties. The products combine the advantages of stone
and the workability of wood.
This means you can benefit from ultimate design freedom,
whilst meeting the highest sustainability, fire safety and
climate requirements. The boards are robu
st yet flexible –
bending, shaping, perforating and routing: it’s all possible
with Rockpanel Metals.
Are you ready to make your metal vision rock? Discover
the new Rockpanel Metals range, now including 9 beautiful
Elemental Metals designs and 7 unique looking Advanced
Metals designs.

Lightweight and malleable,
with the strength of stone
Rockpanel Metals facade boards are lightweight yet robust.
They are impact resistant, very durable and insensitive to
moisture, assuring a beautiful metallic facade for decades.
Engineered to last
Thanks to the optimum colourfastness, your Rockpanel Metals
facade will keep its valuable, aesthetic appearance for a long
time. A
n extra ProtectPlus layer comes as a standard*, which
makes your facade virtually self-cleaning. This limits cleaning
and maintenance (costs) to a minimum. In addition, you can
even easily remove graffiti.
The boards have an officially confirmed lifetime of 50 years.
At the end of the building life, they can be demounted and
fully recycled into new high-quality stone wool products.
Rock-solid fire-resilience
The fire resilience of our Rockpanel Metals boards comes
from within. They are made of stone wool fibres and have
a very low calorific content.
Our A2 boards meet the most stringent fire regulations
(Euroclass A2-s1,d0 – non-combustible). Just like stone,
they have an extremely high melting point (1000°C).

Add extra shine and
luxury to your facade
with Rockpanel Metals
Metals have a lot in common – they are hard, strong,
precious and lustrous. At the same time, they are also very
different. Every m
etal has its own unique identity and can give
your facade that signature look you desire. Let our Rockpanel
Metals range inspire you in building your beautiful futureproof
facade.
Our Elemental Metals line consists of the main precious
metals such as gold, silver and platinum. It also includes other
well-known metals such as aluminium, steel and copper. The
White Aluminium and Grey Aluminium designs correspond to
RAL 9006 and RAL 9007 and contain a remarkable sparkling
finish.
Our Platinum facade boards are a great choice if you are
looking for a chic, champagne-coloured design.
Or maybe our new Gunmetal has your preference?
This robust anthracite colour gives any facade a strong
and sleek look.

Our new Advanced Metals line includes designs which will
give your facade a distinctive look. Thanks to our advanced
technology, they have an exceptional worn finish that lasts for
decades. These rustic designs are full of character.
Verdigris, for example, gives your facade a natural patina
look, but without the influence of the elements.
Our Dark Copper provides your facade a unique worn,
but everlasting finish.
Striking a balance between the cool hue of zinc and the
warmth of copper, Brass enlivens every building, giving it
a distinctive and refined touch.
The warm reddish-brown colour Bronze provides any facade
a luxurious appearance and perfectly matches with other
building materials such as brick and timber.
The Advanced Metals range offers a modern rhythmic
aesthetic to compliment any building.

Combine all the
advantages of metal
with the strengths
of stone
Some metals contract and expand with changes in
temperature, but not Rockpanel. Rockpanel Metals cladding
offers a very high level of dimensional stability. The material
is insensitive to moisture and does not expand or shrink, even
with big changes in temperature and humidity. This enables
very narrow joints of > 5 mm, providing a seamless look.
Closing the loop
Looking for sustainable facade cladding?
The core ingredient of Rockpanel Metals facade boards is
a unique natural material: basalt, a non-depletable volcanic
rock. This makes Rockpanel a responsible choice, as it is not
exhausting the earth’s valuable resources. In addition, the
boards can be recycled indefinitely without any loss of quality,
keeping the loop closed and the carbon footprint low.
Readily available
Not only is the Rockpanel core ingredient readily available
– our products are too! Thanks to our innovative production
line, we are able
to offer short lead times and low minimum
order quantities while safeguarding high quality facade
boards. Whether you envision a complete metallic facade or
subtle details in your design – it is possible.

The smallest details matter
The final appearance of your building is
influenced by the fixing method you choose.
Fixing is not simply a technical requirement
but also vital to achieving your vision.
Emphasize the industrial look of your facade
with screws or rivets. These visible fixing
options are available in all RAL colours,
so there’s always a perfect match
available.
Or create a polished, serene
appearance with the invisible
adhesive system or concealed
fixing. All fixing options are
covered by our ETA.

Re-imagining the shape of retail at Merry Hill
Shopping Centre
The renovation of the outside of Intu Merry Hill Shopping Centre in Brierley Hill implies a
major replacement of outdated façade cladding with Rockpanel boards in a variety of
different finishes.
Architect Simon Smith of INC Design Associates Ltd explains:
“The facade is a play on geometric forms giving uniformity but catches the eye across the
facade. The shadows created by the pyramids provide continuous interest throughout the
day and is further enhanced by the unique lighting at night. The ability of Rockpanel to create a custom design helped to meet the fire classification requirements as well as meeting
the origi
nal design brief”.
Swimming Pool Piscine Plein Soleil
with a Golden touch
Built in the 1970s, the Plein Soleil swimming pool in Bourg-enBresse in Ain (FR) has undergone a major renovation.
Inside the building: the pool itself, the changing rooms,
and the entrance hall. For the exterior of the building they
have applied insulation and a new facade skin in Rockpanel
Metals grey and gold designs. These panels feature a magnificent routed decoration.
Lucie Verniaut, associate architect Lipstick Architecture:
“Rockpanel boards fully met our technical and aesthetic needs
as well as our budget. In addition, made of volcanic rock, they
can be engraved without the need to protect them against
moisture”.

Turning a school facade into
a unique work of art
The Christophorus school in Mülheim-Kärlich (Germany)
needed to have a facade that’s sturdy, long-lasting and
low-maintenance. Rockpanel Metals boards met all these
requirements.
In addition, they had another big advantage: it was possible to engrave a superb work of art on them, without the
need for any extra treatment. The façades now tell the story of Saint Christopher, after whom the school is named.
Artistic design: Elke Pfaffmann and Stefan Kindel
Rockpanel Metals as a metaphor
for “De Lijn”
For a new depot complex for the “De Lijn” – one of the largest
transport company’s in Belgium – Rockpanel Metals proved
the best choice when responding to the decorative ideas and
wishes of the architect.
“The perforated Rockpanel Metals boards we used provide
beautiful light effects. It was exactly what we wanted. The
anti-graffiti finish is a very useful feature for a public building.”

The perfect blend of old and new
A beautiful, future-proof and (almost) energy-neutral building
has been constructed on the exact location where the
high
school Christelijk Lyceum Veenendaal opened its doors more
than 50 years ago. The two existing structures have been
connected by adding new volume, creating the social heart
of the school.
The blend of old and new is also represented in the facade.
The irregular pattern of open and closed parts cladded with
Rockpanel Custom Metals boards bring a playful touch to the
rigid structure.

A facade that tells the story
of Rockpanel
The headquarters of Rockpanel is also cladded with boards
from the Metals range. Luc Nooijen (Architecten Aan de Maas)
created the facade design:
“It’s much more than a facade. It’s the very essence of the
unique product Rockpanel. Expressive, but without a
cacophony of colours and shapes. Discreet at the same time.
The facade illustrates that Rockpanel board material can be
shaped in any possible way.”
