3A Composites USA, a leading provider of high-quality architectural solutions, is announcing the rebranding of its .063” and .080” metal panels as ALUCOLUX, aligning with the company’s global branding strategy. This strategic move differentiates the company’s offerings, ensuring architects and fabricators have access to the ideal materials for every project, while reinforcing ALUCOBOND PLUS as the premier aluminum composite material (ACM) of choice.
The newly-branded ALUCOLUX line (.063” and .080” thicknesses) provides architects and fabricators with a robust, non-combustible option for metal wall panels. ALUCOLUX is ideal for exterior and interior wall claddings, soffits and columns.
Key features of ALUCOLUX include:
- Pre-Painted Surface: Ensures superior color uniformity and reduces project delays
- Custom Length Availability: Minimizes jobsite waste and enhances cost efficiency.
- Formability: Allows for dynamic curves, shapes and panels using brake-bend methods.
- Versatility: .063” sheets are suitable for trim, flashing, and exterior/interior cladding, while .080” provides enhanced durability and flatness for rainscreen applications and complex designs.
- Color Options: Available in eight stock colors, made-to-order colors at low minimum quantities, and custom colors to meet specific project requirements.
- Sustainability: ALUCOLUX material is a fully recyclable product.
Complementing ALUCOLUX, 3A Composites USA continues to offer AXCENT, a line of painted 0.040” thick aluminum flat stock designed for building trim. AXCENT seamlessly integrates with ALUCOBOND PLUS, providing the perfect finishing touch for fascia, flashing, roof caps and high-traffic window and door areas. AXCENT ensures a cohesive color palette and material consistency across projects.
ALUCOBOND PLUS, the original ACM, remains the cornerstone of 3A Composites USA’s portfolio. Developed to meet stringent fire performance requirements, ALUCOBOND PLUS consists of two smooth .020” aluminum sheets thermo-bonded to a solid, fire-retardant core. It offers unmatched flatness, formability, durability, and ease of fabrication, making it the preferred choice for architects and designers worldwide. ALUCOBOND PLUS is manufactured in a standard 4mm thickness.
“We are strategically aligning our product lines under a unified global brand to enhance customer clarity and consistency,” said Debbie Sulewski, director, product development and marketing, 3A Composites USA. “ALUCOBOND PLUS continues to lead our product portfolio and together with ALUCOLUX and AXCENT, and enables architects and fabricators, to bring their most ambitious designs to life with clarity and unwavering confidence.”
The streamlined portfolio ensures that customers can easily select the appropriate material for any application, from intricate trim work to large-scale cladding projects. 3A Composites USA’s dedication to innovation and quality continues to drive the industry forward.
“I’m excited about the launch of ALUCOLUX® — our premium pre-painted aluminum plate, proudly made in the USA,” said Mike Marushka, vice president of sales, Architectural Division, 3A Composites USA. “It’s a product that gives architects and fabricators the freedom to bring bold ideas to life while meeting the highest standards for performance and sustainability.”
