A-WOOD

A-Wood is a product in our Premium Collection that combines the advantages of metal with the attractiveness of wood in its various finishes.

Wood is a noble material that symbolizes the cycle of life. Once used by great artists of the Italian Renaissance, like Giovan Battista Aleotti, for the creation of the Teatro Farnese in Parma, today wood plays an ever more prominent role in ecosustainable architecture. For famous professionals like John and Patricia Patkau, Glenn Marcutt, and Renzo Piano, it is a first choice material perfectly suited to the conscientious management of the climate features of the construction location.

Wood also lends projects strength, sustainability, and flexibility: with A-Wood, our pre-painted metal Atelier can create a wide range of finishes to satisfy every, increasingly sustainable, design requirement.

  • Support: aluminium, steel
  • Colours available: beige base with up to 6 different wood varieties by colour shade and grain
  • Guarantee: up to 10 years
