Classic Warmth with Modern Durability: Wood Look Metal Panels by Alura Woodgrain
There seems to be a trend right now of returning to our roots. We see it in the resurgence of farm-to-table restaurants, the desire for organic products, and the up-cycling of pre-owned goods. There is something so beautiful and desirable about products that resemble nature or elicit a historical emotion from us – like the Alura Panel: a metal panel that looks remarkably like natural wood.
Depending on your generation, when you think of wood paneling “that wood paneled fireplace in my first house” or “the walls in my grandparent’s living room” may come to mind, but either way there is a memory or an emotion attached to the wood application on that wall. You’re picturing it right now, aren’t you? Alura Panel is not the wood panel of the past but it will give you a warm, cozy feeling.
What to choose: Real Wood or Wood Look Metal Panels?
Unlike real wood or wood like products, the Alura Panel has the same properties as your traditional metal panel: long-lasting, durable, and strong. Many wood products require hours and hours of maintenance or even replacement due to the natural properties of the product (think of having to sand and stain your deck every few years). They also do not have the tensile strength that metal has so they cannot be installed in vertical applications without the risk of sagging and falling to ruin. You will not run into any of these issues with Alura Panel. Once it is applied, all you must do is sit back and admire it!
Application – Wood Metal Panels
Alura Panel has caught the eye of architects, contractors, and landscape designers due to its versatility in residential, commercial, and landscape applications. These professionals can achieve clean lines, and contemporary and modern designs while humanizing a building’s exterior through the richness of a wood look metal wall panels. We know that wood look paneling for walls has endless possibilities and we are open to all application challenges.
Today wood panels are no longer a trend of the past. They are a premier material of today, they’re made from metal and they’re here to stay. Metal panels or wood like panels that represent the warmth of wood and nature are available in a variety of colors, sizes, and styles through IMARK Architectural Metal’s Alura Panel line.
