Timber-inspired finishes bring warmth and character to architectural spaces. Wood finish aluminium panels offer another way to achieve this aesthetic, combining a timber-inspired appearance with an aluminium substrate.
For architects and designers looking for alternatives to traditional decorative materials, wood-look aluminium can provide additional design flexibility across commercial and architectural projects.
What Are Wood Finish Aluminium Panels?
Wood finish aluminium panels combine an aluminium substrate with a decorative finish designed to replicate the appearance of timber.
Ai Panel's architectural range includes designer and distressed wood finishes on a 5052 marine-grade solid aluminium substrate.
