Business requirements FAQ
For metal cladding systems to meet the EN 13964 CE certification requirements, manufacturers must demonstrate product compliance and safety by demonstrating that their products meet the requirements of the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR 305/2011/EU) and that they comply with the EN 13964 standard. The EN 13964 standard provides testing and performance criteria for ceiling and wall systems used in buildings, including metal cladding systems.
Ballesta® continues to research, design, and produce high-end metal ceilings, metal facades, metal wall column claddings, and aluminum louvers, providing customers with professional decoration solutions. Contact us for solutions.
Chinese metal ceiling and curtain wall system manufacturers offer the following surface treatments for high-performance aluminum: 4D wood grain finish, anodized copper and bronze finishes, ripple finish, PVDF finish, powder coating finish, pre-coated finish, printed finish, stone finish, and wood grain finish. An overview of these finishes follows:
1. 4D Wood Grain Finish: Creates a wood grain look and texture on metal surfaces, enhancing the visual depth of ceilings and walls.
2. Anodized Copper and Bronze Finish: Gives the metal an aged, oxidized appearance, mimicking the copper or aluminum used historically in ceiling and wall decoration.
3. Anodized Finish: Creates an oxide layer on the metal, enhancing the hardness, corrosion resistance, and visual appeal of metal ceilings and walls.
4. Ripple Finish: Creates a ripple effect with a hammer-marked texture, suitable for modern designs.
5. Powder Coat Finish: Applys a coating to the metal surface of ceilings and walls through electrostatic attraction, adding durability. 6. Pre-coated surface treatment: This enhances the appearance and performance of metal ceilings and walls and is often used in industrial settings.
7. Printed surface treatment: This technique creates a unique decorative element in a space by imprinting a specific pattern, image, or design onto the metal surface.
8. PVDF surface treatment: This fluorocarbon resin coating provides weather and corrosion resistance to treated metal ceilings and walls.
9. Stone grain surface treatment: This technique imparts the appearance and texture of stone to metal, creating a simulated stone effect.
10. Wood grain surface treatment: This technique simulates the texture and color of wood, creating a wood-like appearance.
Ballesta offers all of these surface treatments; please contact us for more information. Ballesta is an industry-leading manufacturer of metal walls and ceilings with 22 years of experience.

1.Sound absorption: With patented technology and special craftsmanship, ultra-micro holes with a diameter of ≤0.2mm are punched on thin metal sheets, without the need to add any porous materials. It has a good absorption effect on sound energy, with the maximum noise reduction coefficient reaching over 0.7, which complies with the Code for Design of Building Sound Insulation (GB50118-2010).
2.Clean and dust-free: It contains no additional components such as mineral wool, glass fiber, non-woven fabric (sound-absorbing paper), etc. During installation and use, it does not produce polluting substances like dust or fibers, nor does the material itself absorb moisture and become moldy, which would affect indoor air quality. It is clean, fresh and environmentally friendly.
3.Durable with no attenuation: The product system achieves sound absorption through its own ultra-micro holes, without the need for additional materials such as non-woven fabric (sound-absorbing paper), rock wool, or glass fiber. It will not suffer from the attenuation of sound absorption due to moisture absorption of materials, and the product has a long service life, which can reach more than 20 years.
4. Excellent fire resistance: It is a pure metal product with a systematic structure, containing no other porous materials. It achieves Class A fire resistance and produces no harmful gases when burning, complying with the Classification for Burning Behavior of Building Materials and Products GB8624-2012.
5. Green and environmentally friendly: It has environmental certification, and no glue is required during installation, making it green and environmentally friendly.
6. Aesthetic design: There are various surface treatment methods, featuring special texture effects and soft and diverse colors.

I. Performance Advantages
1. Exceptional Durability
Curtain walls and ceilings utilise aluminium alloy or aluminium-zinc coated panels, treated with fluorocarbon spraying and anodising. This provides outstanding resistance to ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and thermal shock, minimising deformation and cracking. Their service life significantly exceeds that of conventional coatings and natural stone.
2. Reliable Fire and Safety Performance
Metal curtain walls effectively impede flame propagation, enhancing fire safety. The panels' inherent resistance to wind pressure, ductility, and impact resilience ensure structures withstand extreme conditions such as high winds and seismic activity.
3. Lightweight Construction Reducing Structural Load
Metal curtain walls possess a significantly lower weight per unit area than traditional materials like stone or concrete. This substantially reduces the load on the building's primary structure, making them particularly advantageous for super-tall buildings and renovation projects. It also provides architects with greater flexibility for innovative façade designs.
II. Aesthetic Advantages
1. Flexible Realisation of Diverse Forms
Through processes such as rolling, bending, and stamping, metal panels can be shaped into double-curved surfaces, sharp folded edges, and complex three-dimensional forms, precisely meeting diverse architectural design requirements.
2. Extensive Surface Finishing Options
Offering a rich array of surface treatments, these include hundreds of standard fluorocarbon colours, woodgrain and stone-effect finishes, natural anodised hues, stainless steel textures, alongside mirror, brushed, and hammered effects. This diversity caters to varied visual and design requirements.
III. Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness Advantages
1. Modular Installation Enhances Construction Efficiency
Metal curtain wall and ceiling systems employ factory prefabrication with on-site assembly, effectively reducing project duration and minimising on-site errors. This approach improves construction quality and enhances schedule control.
2. Seamless Integration and Maintenance Convenience
Curtain wall systems can incorporate operable panels, ventilation, and sunshade facilities, while ceiling systems integrate lighting, air conditioning vents, and fire sprinklers. Modular design permits individual panel replacement, ensuring straightforward and cost-effective maintenance.
IV. Sustainability Advantages
1. High Recyclability, Embracing Circular Principles
Aluminium alloy achieves over 95% recyclability. Upon a building's end-of-life, metal panels can be dismantled and recycled, substantially reducing construction waste and enhancing project residual value.
2. Enhanced Building Energy Efficiency
Curtain wall cavities filled with high-efficiency insulation materials improve thermal performance, reducing heating and cooling energy consumption. Ventilated double-skin curtain walls regulate indoor temperatures through air circulation; light-coloured metal surfaces reflect solar radiation, helping mitigate urban heat island effects.
