SinoCore is a composite panel made by laminating either textured or smooth prefinished aluminum skins to a core of high density polypropylene. A second aluminum skin is added as a backer and provides panel balance. These panels are ideal for applications where traffic is minimal and appearance is key such as; canopies, fascia, accent bands, soffits, or corporate identity programs. And with a number of finish options, SinoCore also helps add interest to otherwise monolithic structures (i.e. preformed warehouse walls). Similar to ProCore, SinoCore panels are lightweight, water resistant, and may be field curved (for large radius requirements). However, SinoCore panels are installed with slightly raised profile moldings to accent the shadow line. For a non-progressive installation, the two piece extruded moldings may be used. Plastic receivers are first installed, then construction adhesive is placed in the field of the panel. The panels are then fastened around the perimeter and sealant is applied. the joints are completed with a snap-on aluminum cover. For a progressive installation, the one piece moldings are used. The extrusions are mechanically fastened to the substrate and the panels are then inserted and installed using sealant around the perimeter and construction adhesive in the field of the panel.
