Arval-UE stainless steel launched
Recyclable stainless steel sheeting that does not contain nickel - therefore better value for money than its austenitic peers - is now available in the UK through Arval from ArcelorMittal Construction
Offset horizontally and vertically, they are suitable for exterior and interior use in industrial and commercial applications in both the public and private sectors.
The panels are pre-drilled on their top edge so they can be attached by self-threading screws to an adjustable sub-frame or support panels, allowing a ventilated sheet of air between the panels and the support wall of thermal insulation.
They can also be installed on a frame covered with aluminium plates or profiled sheet iron and are available with a horizontal wall mounted rail mounted in the factory.
Accessories include flashings up to six metres long for crowns, corners and flaps.
Naturally self-cleaning with rainwater, they can also be cleaned with household detergents that are free of chlorine, abrasives or solvents and rinsed with fresh water if vegetation such as moss needs removing.
