The core appeal of aluminum painted sheets lies in their combination of aesthetics and performance. Through advanced roller coating and baking processes, they achieve rich color presentation and texture simulation. Furthermore, different coating materials such as fluorocarbon (PVDF) and polyester (PE) allow them to withstand various complex environments, including outdoor exposure to sunlight, marine salt spray, and industrial oil contamination.

Construction sector

In the construction industry, coated aluminum sheets are the core application area, accounting for over 60% globally. The international market has maximized their color advantages. According to the 2025 Spring/Summer Color Report jointly released by WGSN and Coloro, blue-purple and turquoise tones have become new favorites in the overseas architectural field. These cool colors not only offer a refreshing visual experience but also possess excellent UV resistance, making them particularly suitable for outdoor curtain walls.

In modern European and American architecture, minimalist style is prevalent, with white (with a reflectivity exceeding 80%) and dark gray consistently dominating. White coated aluminum panels, due to their excellent reflective and heat-insulating properties, are widely used in the exterior walls and roofs of office buildings and convention centers, effectively reducing building energy consumption.

Dark gray, with its sophisticated texture, has become the preferred choice for high-end commercial complexes, creating technologically advanced urban landmarks when paired with large glass curtain walls. In hot climates such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia, darker colors like ocean blue and carbon black are more popular. These colors, enhanced by fluorocarbon coatings, resist acid rain and salt spray corrosion, boasting a lifespan of over 30 years.

It's worth noting that customized wood grain aluminum sheets are quietly gaining popularity in the international interior decoration sector. Walnut and oak textured panels, achieved through high-temperature baking paint processes, create a realistic solid wood feel, replacing traditional wood in mall ceilings and hotel partitions.

Marble and sandstone grain aluminum sheets have become decorative highlights in trendy restaurants and art galleries, offering both environmental friendliness and reduced material costs. In Argentina, the annual production of coated aluminum panels reaches millions of tons, with wood and stone texture series widely used in the interior and exterior decoration of residential and commercial buildings, becoming one of the mainstream materials in the local construction industry.

Home appliances & furnishings

The global market size for color-coated aluminum sheets used in home appliances reached 20.1 billion yuan in 2023 and is projected to exceed 24.5 billion yuan by 2030. Popular colors exhibit a polarized trend: on the one hand, neutral pink and low-saturation light gray are highly favored, used for refrigerator and washing machine exteriors to convey a simple and soft home atmosphere; on the other hand, vibrant yellow and fluorescent colors have become distinctive choices for niche appliances, adding a bright touch to kitchens and living rooms.

European and American consumers have extremely high requirements for the environmental friendliness and personalization of home appliances, making color-coated aluminum sheets compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations the preferred choice for manufacturers.

For example, some high-end refrigerators use matte black color-coated aluminum sheets that are oil-resistant and fingerprint-resistant, easy to clean, and blend into modern minimalist home styles; while in the North American market, retro styles are making a comeback, with color-coated aluminum sheets with retro red and dark green textures used for retro refrigerator and microwave oven panels to meet consumers' personalized needs.

In the home furnishing sector, the lightweight advantage of color-coated aluminum sheets makes them a new choice for customized furniture. In Europe, color-coated aluminum cabinet doors are a popular material for kitchens and bathrooms due to their waterproof, moisture-proof, and deformation-resistant properties. Light wood grain and ivory white colors effectively reduce visual fatigue and complement various home décor styles.

Transportation and Industry

In the transportation and industrial sectors, the color selection of color-coated aluminum sheets prioritizes functionality. The rise of the new energy vehicle industry has led to a surge in demand for silver-gray and matte black color-coated aluminum sheets. Silver-gray, with its metallic texture and good heat dissipation, is used for body panels in new energy vehicles; matte black, after anti-fingerprint treatment, has become the preferred choice for the outer shell of energy storage cabinets and electrical control cabinets. In Europe, South America, and other regions with developed new energy industries, the annual growth rate of demand for these products exceeds 30%.

In the RV manufacturing sector, light-colored color-coated aluminum sheets are widely used. White and light blue products are used for RV exterior walls and roofs, not only reducing vehicle weight and increasing range but also reflecting sunlight and lowering interior temperature.

In the field of industrial equipment, military green and silver-gray are the mainstream colors. These colors of color-coated aluminum sheets have excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for pipe insulation and cold chain equipment liners. They can be seen everywhere in industrial plants in South American countries such as Argentina and Brazil.
