AN INSPIRING RANGE OF COLOURS AND SURFACES.
The effect of space is created by colour and light. As an essential component of
architecture, a colour scheme creates individual space and plays an essential
supporting role in the utilisation of the building.
ALUCOBOND® naturAL
Aluminium’s natural and original beauty is shown to its best effect and every
object takes on a distinguished yet lively appearance. The surface structures
bring about an interplay between metallic shine and the reflection and absorp-
tion of light. In addition, a refined metallic look is created by the subtile rap-
prochement to real metals.
ALUCOBOND® legno
The natural beauty of wood united with the strength of ALUCOBOND®:
outstanding formability, excellent flatness and bending stiffness as well as
excellent long-term durability and weather resistance. Moreover, a special
coating adds a grainy structured feel to the surface.
ALUCOBOND® urban
Urban life is characterised by interplays of light and shadows, transparency
and colour. Muted, extremely mat surfaces and colours of ALUCOBOND® urban
provide open space for design and support the urban character of the building.
ALUCOBOND® terra
Stone and crystal stand for endurance, authenticity and intrinsic value. They
reflect light in a magical, vibrant way and their texture is unexpectedly varied:
ranging from rough to smooth. ALUCOBOND® terra is inspired by iridescent
stone. The décor’s surface refracts the daylight creating a matt sheen and
lustrous hues, sometimes elegant and sometimes earthy.
ALUCOBOND® vintage
“Concrete”free of moss growth, “rusty steel” which does not bleed, “copper with
a patina”’ but no rust marks when it rains or “oxidised metal” without creeping
corrosion – the matt surfaces of ALUCOBOND® vintage hold back time: halting
the weathering processes which are typical for these materials and preserving
the chosen design.
