Dare to be extraordinary With Rockpanel Chameleon Part of the ROCKWOOL Group

Why fit in when you were born to stand out? Chameleons don’t sing like birds or call like frogs, or engage in any type of verbal communication. Yet, they do have a powerful tool at hand: they can interact with their ability to change colour. Contrary to popular belief, chameleons usually don’t change colour to camouflage themselves. Instead, their colour change is primarily used for intraspecific communication and to maintain a favourable body temperature. They also use their colourful anatomy as a “billboard” to communicate with their surrounding environment. Chameleons don’t blend in with their...

Add a little magic Making heads turn. The uniqueness of Rockpanel Chameleon. A chameleon-effect facade never looks the same but is always striking and inspiring.

A sustainable choice Rockpanel cladding is made from stone wool comprising of the non-depletable natural rock basalt, which is highly fire resilient by nature. In addition, we use recycled content from other industries that would otherwise end up in landfill.

Four designs, three gloss grades Similar to real chameleons, Rockpanel Chameleon facade panels also get their ability to change colour thanks to a special crystal effect layer in their coating. It’s the colour underneath this layer that determines which colour range the four different Chameleon variants have. Also, all Rockpanel Chameleon boards have a transparent ProtectPlus coating, allowing for self-cleaning and easy graffiti removal. The Rockpanel Chameleon range consists of four colour variations. Looking for more design options? We offer three gloss grades: matt, semi-gloss and high-gloss....
