ALUSION™ STABILISED ALUMINIUM FOAM
ALUSION™ is a visually-striking cladding material unlike any other in Australia. You can buy it in Australia and New Zealand exclusively through Robertson Façade Systems.
Developed by Cymat Technologies in Canada, ALUSION™ offers architects and designers unique architectural stabilised aluminium foam panels.
It's a panel solution with unmatched density, range of thickness, dimensions, production capacity and consistency.
Most importantly, ALUSION™ is non-combustible and also highly sustainable: it's made with up to 100% recycled content and is 100% recyclable.
What sets ALUSION™ apart from other panel solutions?
ALUSION™ is made of stabilised aluminium foam. Produced as continual flat sheets, it creates strong, lightweight panels, similar in appearance to a metallic sponge, with virtually limitless design and architectural applications.
So by choosing ALUSION™ you'll achieve a modern, dramatic look.
It's unique because each side of the panel looks, and is, entirely different. You can leave the surface of each panel in its solid, natural form, or apply surface preparations to achieve endless creative cladding solutions: from a solid, shimmering look to a translucent 'water froth' look - it's completely your choice.
ALUSION™ adds a signature touch to any project, enhancing the ambiance of an environment and performing well as an acoustic solution.
