Aluminium profile

Aluminum: architectural precision without compromise.
A contemporary material par excellence, aluminum combines aesthetic finesse, absolute stability, and exceptional durability. Lightweight, recyclable, and infinitely customizable thanks to powder coating, it meets the requirements of the most ambitious architectural projects, both for facades and ceilings.

Freedom, durability, precision

  • Absolute dimensional stability: Unlike natural materials, aluminum does not deform under the effect of climatic variations. It perfectly maintains its dimensions and alignment over time, regardless of exposure conditions.
  • Exceptional resistance to demanding environments: Impervious to humidity, insects, fungi, and climatic aggressions, aluminum offers remarkable longevity, including in coastal, urban, or highly exposed areas.
  • Unparalleled architectural freedom: Available in several profile widths and a very wide choice of powder-coated colors, aluminum allows for the creation of unique, contemporary, or minimalist facades, with great creative freedom.
  • Quick and perfectly aligned installation: Compatible with the Grad® system, each profile is fixed by clips onto an aluminum structure without visible screws. The boards are perfectly aligned upon installation for a clean and high-end finish.
  • A durable and responsible material: The aluminum used by Grad® is infinitely recyclable and is part of a sustainable construction approach. Its exceptional lifespan limits replacement needs and helps reduce the environmental impact of the structure.

Aging of aluminum

Upon installation, aluminum presents a perfectly homogeneous appearance and a high-quality powder-coated finish. Depending on the chosen color, it can adopt a discreet and mineral aesthetic or become a true element of architectural signature.
Unlike wood, aluminum does not gray and does not undergo natural visual evolution due to UV. Its color and appearance remain stable for many years thanks to the quality of surface treatments.
Preserving the original appearance
No specific treatment is necessary to maintain the material’s appearance. Powder-coated finishes ensure excellent durability over time.
Routine maintenance
A simple periodic cleaning with clear water or soapy water removes surface deposits and preserves the aesthetic of the profiles.
A durable aesthetic
Aluminum durably retains its geometry, color, and finish level. It is an ideal solution for projects seeking a constant appearance and reduced maintenance.
No change

Extreme durability

Impervious to humidity, insects, and fungi, it maintains its performance for decades.

Custom powder coating

Wide range of RAL colors and customizable finishes to meet every architectural intention.

100% recyclable

Infinitely recyclable, lightweight, and durable material, suitable for responsible constructions.

Treatment process

Thermal treatment consists of heating wood to a high temperature (generally between 180 and 220°C) in a controlled environment, without adding chemicals. This process improves the properties of the wood, including its resistance to humidity, its durability, and its dimensional stability. Thermal treatment also modifies the appearance of the wood, giving it a slightly darker and uniform shade, which evolves over time to acquire an elegant gray patina when exposed to the elements. The treated wood thus becomes less sensitive to temperature variations and more resistant to biological attacks (such as fungi and insects), while remaining ecological.
