Architectural & Design Applications
A versatile material with virtually limitless design and architectural applications. As well as its unique appearance, it has sound absorbing properties making it ideal for applications requiring both sound absorption and beauty. It is used for Facades, wall cladding, ceiling tiles or dropped ceilings, restaurants, bars, offices, apartment buildings, showroom displays, Terrazzo flooring, signage, lighting fixtures, exhibits, and any application that you dare to imagine.
Aluminum foam creates strong yet lightweight panels. Similar in appearance to a metallic sponge, it is visually striking, with a modern dramatic look. For architecture, aluminum foam is produced in panels ranging in various densities, and in thicknesses from 12.7mm to 43.2 mm (custom available pending quantities). Standard versions are Small, Mid and Large.
The surface of each panel is either left in its solid natural form as produced, or undergoes surface preparations which provide many different appearances. Appearances as a solid surface “shimmering” look to a translucent “water froth” look, even custom designs. The 2 sides of each panel, identified as ‘top and/or bottom, look very different from each other.

Aluminum Foam for Composite Panels
Aluminum foam can be used as composite panels for the Construction industry & Building Environments:
- Decorative or non decorative Acoustical panels for any acoustical solution including exterior highway or road acoustical barriers
- Design any commercial or residential high performance surface solution by adding aluminum foam as a backing or as a sandwich panel
- Create solid but yet “light weight” composite panels which do not decay, with anti mold and mildew qualities
- Composite panels for stone, marble, granite, ceramic, travertine, wood tile etc
- For new or existing buildings, exterior or interior Walls, flooring, signs, exhibits, lighting
- Architect clients create “Super insulated buildings”, by using fuel efficient “insulation aluminum foam composite solutions”
- Climate and Air quality controlled applications
- Subway ventilators, Air vents, moisture barriers, building components, crawlspace substrates
- Hospitals, Clean Rooms, Marine, underground composite panels, railcar chiller compartments
- Create lightweight moisture & thermal barriers, control corrosion, and vibration
