What are the key factors affecting the price of aluminum veneer?

The formula for calculating the area of aluminum veneer is: (aluminum ingot price+sheet metal flattening processing cost)+sheet metal processing cost+surface treatment cost+aluminum veneer designer+labor costs such as quality inspection and follow-up. The key point is that if a certain aluminum veneer manufacturer's quotation is lower than the market price or too low, then smart you should be vigilant at this time, because cheap goods are not good, good goods are not cheap. Today, the Gold Aluminum Building Materials editor will take you to understand the mystery of the price differentiation of aluminum veneers.

Aluminum veneer is a customized product that can be customized for production and processing according to different customer requirements. In the process of aluminum veneer customization, it generally involves the difficulty of aluminum veneer processing and the constantly rising labor costs. This is also why the price of aluminum veneer is higher than that of traditional decorative materials.


1、 The price of aluminum ingots on that day is a very important factor.

The fluctuation of aluminum ingot prices (open every Monday to Friday and closed on weekends) has led to severe fluctuations in international aluminum prices since the start of the Russia Ukraine war this year. Aluminum prices have remained high for a long time, directly driving aluminum prices to remain at high levels. As downstream processing terminals, aluminum veneer manufacturers are suffering unbearably. According to authoritative data statistics, the supply and demand gap in China's electrolytic aluminum market will expand to 2 million tons in 2022. Against the backdrop of low inventory, aluminum ingot prices are expected to continue to rise. Relevant institutions have raised the target price of electrolytic aluminum for six months to 25000 yuan/ton.


2、 The grade and thickness of the aluminum veneer are relatively direct factors affecting the substrate. The price of aluminum veneers varies depending on their specifications, utilization rate, conventional materials, and whether they are ultra wide.

In the aluminum alloy plate substrate used for metal aluminum curtain walls, aluminum veneer manufacturers often use 1000 series aluminum plates and 3000 series aluminum plates as raw materials. The 1000 series aluminum plate, also known as industrial pure aluminum or 1-series aluminum plate, is characterized by easy processing, strong plasticity, and low price. Representative models include AA 1060 and 1100 H14/H24, while the 3000 series aluminum plate is called aluminum manganese alloy plate or 3-series aluminum plate. Its characteristics are strong hardness and better flatness, but its price is higher than that of 1-series aluminum plate. Representative models include AA 3003 H14/H24. In addition, there are also 5000 series aluminum plates, known as aluminum magnesium alloy aluminum plates or 5 series aluminum plates, which are characterized by strength equivalent to 3003, good fusion and processing properties, moderate strength, and good corrosion resistance. The 5 series aluminum plate is mainly used as an anodized substrate, which is rust proof and corrosion-resistant. After oxidation, the product has a longer service life. At the same time, the color and texture obtained after oxidation are relatively delicate, making it a good material for anodized aluminum veneer. At present, the usage of 5-series aluminum plates in China is relatively low, which may be due to their high prices.

The thicker the aluminum veneer, the higher the price. For example, the price of regular size aluminum veneer with a thickness of 3.0mm is generally higher than that of 2.5mm. The price of regular size aluminum veneer is generally higher than 35-40 yuan/square meter. It can be seen that the thickness of aluminum veneer is closely related to the price of aluminum veneer. Some non-standard aluminum veneer manufacturers usually use non-standard thickness aluminum sheets instead of national standard aluminum sheets as substrates for processing. For example, using non-standard aluminum sheet materials with a thickness of 2.25mm instead of 2.5mm thick aluminum sheets to process and deliver to customers, while relying on aluminum.
