Mid-tone Woodgrain Finishes for Aluminium Products
Description

Metwood is a coating that is applied to aluminium panels and profiles, generally to provide a wooden appearance, but also offering patina and other finishes. Metwood provides the warmth and beauty of timber, while offering the strength and durability of aluminium.

Metwood is available in a wide range of finishes. The Mid-tone Woodgrain group of finishes feature warmer wood tones.

It can be applied to most aluminium products, such as cladding boards, louvres, baffles, panels, soffits, garage doors, pergolas, partitioning, windows, battens, awnings, fences, and facades. Suitable for both interior and exterior use.

Key Features
  • Colour range — mid-tone & warmer wood tones
  • Durable — 10 year warranty on the pattern as well as a 25 year warranty on the underlying powder coating
  • Virtually maintenance free — only simple washdown required
  • Fire rating — A Class exterior rating, Group 1-S interior rating 
  • Structural strength — the use of aluminium can provide a better structural result than timber in many situations
  • Flexible — Metwood work with major fabricators and the coating can be applied to most aluminium profiles and panels
  • Consistent and repeatable — appearance is consistent when used on multi stage developments
