Traditionally damaged panels (normally the whole side of the vehicle), would have to be replaced which is hugely expensive and very time consuming for the insurer, repairer and owner. Now specially designed vacuum equipment, templates and unique mouldmaker provide a perfect match to original smooth or contoured surfaces. This system is capable of repairing major damage on aluminium panels.
The Aluminium repair system is for structured/textured panels and surfaces. Suitable for caravans, motorhomes & trailers and other structured aluminum materials and surfaces. The system also works on relief panels on gates, furniture, garages, buildings and vehicles or any surface of a similar design.
Most caravans, motorhomes or trailers feature structured panels made from a sandwich design with a layer of hard plastic or wood as the innermost layer, an insulating foam panel in the middle and a textured aluminum plate as the outer layer. The primary task of the structure is to make the aluminum sheet more resistant to shocks and to compensate for minor irregularities. Damage can be caused by extreme weather conditions, hail etc. or incidental annoying accidents or vandalism, on campsites, during transit or at home.

Depending on repair type & skill level
With the specialist repair process an exact copy of the surface design or pattern is created from the undamaged part of the panel using the patented vacuum tool, templates, and mouldmaker. The mould is then transferred to the damaged area where the special E-Filler is injected, leaving a surface structure that corresponds exactly to the original panel. After the material hardens the borders are sanded and the whole repair area is powder blasted using a specialist granulate E-Powder. The repair area can then be primed and painted.
