What is the differences between porcelain-on-steel and porcelain-on-aluminum panels?
In 1992, Alliance (now Polyvision) discontinued furnishing porcelain-faced panels to the glazing and window markets, and instead decided to concentrate on marketing Porcelain-on-Steel coil to a selected group of Approved Panel Laminators (APLs). High Standard is an APL. The porcelain coating on steel is thicker than porcelain on aluminum. This, together with a higher firing temperature and the steel substrate, results in a surface hardness that is more than 50% harder than porcelain on aluminum.

The various types of materials available can be fabricated in whatever combination and thickness you need to make up insulated panels (from 5/8″ to 4″ in thickness) or 1/4″ veneer panels). FINISHES & COLORS: We stock Ceramicsteel in both semi-gloss and semi-matte finishes in a wide variety of colors.
