As architects and designers seek to create spaces that leave a lasting impression, material choice is a top priority. Enter aluminum composite material (ACM).
Traditionally used on the exterior of commercial buildings to create metal façades, ACM is known for its superior durability, making it an attractive option for high-traffic areas. It also offers a variety of benefits that resonate with architects and designers tasked with elevating the interiors of hotels, restaurants, and event venues.
“With MONARC, we aimed to empower architects to push the boundaries of creativity while delivering solutions that exceed expectations in both form and function,” says Debbie Sulewski, director of product design and marketing at 3A Composites USA.
Here, we dive into four ways ACM can deliver results for architects, designers, and their clients.
1. Versatility Matters
The flexibility and adaptability of ACM make it possible to make a vision a design reality. From statement walls to grand columns and elevator walls to tub or shower enclosures, ACM empowers designers to unleash their creativity without constraints. Its adaptability ensures seamless integration with existing architectural elements, fostering visual harmony and design continuity.
2. Superior Performance
ACM not only looks beautiful, but it also stands the test of time. For instance, MONARC (from the makers of ALUCOBOND) is constructed from two sheets of .012-inch aluminum bonded to a fire-retardant mineral core, an attribute that allows it to deliver durability and formability. These flat, rigid panels are easy to fabricate and install, deliver a high-quality finish, require minimal maintenance, and are ideal for wet wall applications.
3. Sustainable Solution
Manufactured in the U.S. with a core material that is 100 percent recyclable, MONARC contributes to LEED certification. Its quick and easy installation process minimizes environmental impact while maximizing efficiency, allowing architects to create sustainable interiors without compromising on quality or aesthetics. Another sustainable benefit: MONARC emits zero VOCs.
4. Inspired Design
From modern abstracts to transitional stone and wood designs, MONARC has three distinct collections that allow architects and designers to create unique interior looks.
Infused with the rugged charm of industrial landscapes, the Urbanesque collection conveys contemporary sophistication. From sleek metallic accents to weathered concrete textures, every detail is fashioned to elevate spaces and create a downtown chic atmosphere.
Meticulous craftsmanship pairs with the natural appeal of stone with the Quarry collection. With a range of finishes inspired by nature’s palette, these elegant designs elevate any space.
The warmth of the Woodland collection captures the essence of the forest. From rich, grainy textures to subtle, earthy tones, these finishes marry style with functionality, creating a balance between the beauty of nature and the modernization of architecture.
