Processing method used

Taking advantage of the properties of aluminum, it can be processed into a variety of shapes suitable for construction.

Folding

Because the printing is done directly on the aluminium plate, the colour and pattern will stay in place even when it is bent. Unlike cut panels, no undercoat is required, which offers cost benefits.
・We recommend using 2mm thick plate material for bending.
・We recommend verifying the processing prior to mass production.
- When cutting the plate, we recommend touching up the edges with ambient-drying fluorine paint.

Louvers

It can also be made into louver shapes by bending. It is suitable for large louvers that are difficult to make with existing louver shapes. By making the design appear larger, it is possible to create louvers with a heavy feel.
・We recommend using 2mm thick board material for the louvers.
・We recommend that you conduct a preliminary verification of the processing before starting production.
- When cutting the plate, we recommend touching up the edges with ambient-drying fluorine paint.
