Finishes, because the eye always demands its share
ALU EXPERIENCE, BEAUTIFUL AND ELEGANT
Range of aluminum finishes, applied directly to the panel core, without the need for additional skins / layers. Panels can be finished with edging and inserts for fixing.
Gross
Gray sheets characteristic of aluminum, available with or without primer to facilitate bonding.
Painted
Standard color RAL 9016, different pigments and paint types available depending on the performance required. Anti-scratch and titanium dioxide paints available.
Surtec 650 treatment
The raw aluminum sheet can be treated with SurTec 650 in order to have a surface suitable for gluing, which meets the certifications required in the various aerospace and military sectors.
Mirror
gold version.
Mirror
Silver version.
Corten
Orange and corten pattern.
PLUS EXPERIENCE, MINIMUM THICKNESS FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
Range of finishes in different materials, applied to standard panels. Panels can be finished with edging and inserts for fixing. The best choice for those looking for a special finish while maintaining the lightness and minimum thickness of the panels.
HPL
Surfaces in plastic laminate with finishing on request, also available in scratch-resistant version.
Solid Surface
Resistant material, available in various colors.
Marble
Marble slab applied to the panel, on request.
Concrete
Thin layer of cement applied to the panel, smooth or rough.
Processing, the distinctive shape
We specialize in designing and testing combinations of different cores and skins, but our work is only complete after giving shape and finishes to each panel. Custom processing, with distincst and refined specifications. We follow the guidance of designers, technicians, architects, and technical offices, whether it's for individuals, small samples, or small-medium-large batches.
These mechanical processes are performed by a CNC (Numerical Control Machines) programmed by a specialized staff who read the drawings provided by the customers and realized them.
The panels to be cut can be provided with different edges depending on the aesthetic requirements or the available budget.
Edging with a plate (or applied edge)
For this type of edging, extrusions made of different materials can be used: aluminium, laminate, PVC, ABS, also of a colour that matches the top layer. A suitable adhesive with an excellent tear resistance is applied
T - Edge -profile
Extrusions are glued in with suitable adhesives after having milled the plates. The combination of milling and gluing permits to have tightness and rigidity in the outer borders
C - Edge profile
Extrusions are glued after milling part of the honeycomb or foam. Excellent aesthetic finish and greater durability in the outer border.
Folding an edge of the upper skin
The core (honeycomb or foam) is partially removed by milling along the edge to be folded. The slightly incised skin is then folded and glued perfectly flat. The result is an aesthetically uniform, homogeneous and perfectly processed panel.
The panel skin is cut according to the drawing measures (final dimensions) specified by the customer. V-shaped or rectangular grooves are made along fold lines, without cutting the upper skin, whereupon the adhesive is applied. The low density of the material enables easy folding. After folding the object is cleaned, dried and packaged.
For some projects or uses, the panels must be provided with anchoring systems necessary to fasten it to other surfaces.
The type of panel and the material determine the most suitable fastening system.
Here are a few options:
- The panels are attached to each other by visible or blind rivets and screws
- Fixing with self-tapping screws (sealing washers) in aluminium or stainless steel suitable for the corresponding substructure
- Fastening with drilling screws
Surtec 650 treatment
The raw aluminum sheet can be treated with SurTec 650 in order to have a surface suitable for gluing, which meets the certifications required in the various aerospace and military sectors.
Paintings
The natural aluminium panels can be painted with powder or liquid colours to adapt to various decorative requirements.
Serigraphy
New digital technologies enable prints with exceptional resolution and durability thanks to the use of UV-reactive inks. Architects’ and designers’ personalizations are infinite and unique.
