Alu. cladding module

As your reference is for aluminium sheet, the word blech becomes redundant as it's "understood". The general accepted term for the exterior covering (facade)on a large modern office/industrial building such as shown in your ref. is "cladding". And cassette is more usually "module" if it does't comprise, say, of a frame with window glass or other complex unit.

So: Aluminium cladding module. Or just Alu. for short if it's going in a list.

Alternative:
\"Aluminium cladding facade\" (one could leave out cassette/module altogether)
or
\"Aluminium panel cladding\" (one could leave out facade- the cladding is a facade)

Point is, Kassette / cassette is really a word more commonly used on the European mainland than in UK or USA- I would avoid re-using it.

The most elegant version is of course a cassette-type of panel with an invisible fixing. Depending on the size of the panels and the windloads, stiffeners are usually required

Most of these panels seem to be made of aluminium
