7 Reasons to Choose Wood Finish Aluminium: Durability, Cost Efficiency and more

Hoffman Scratch Test

The Hoffmann scratch test results indicate little to no marks on the Polyolefin Exterior Film after rigorous testing. Other Olefin sheets show significant marks when tested under the same conditions.

2. Realistic Look and Feel

Our Wood Finish Aluminium perfectly captures the essence, feel, and look of real timber, with an embossed grain texture that is warm to the touch. The design has been carefully selected so that the pattern repeats every 1200mm and is not easily readable to the naked eye, providing a natural, realistic appearance even on large-scale projects.

3. Continuity and Flexibility in Design

Achieve seamless transitions and design continuity with our perfectly matched Wood Finish Aluminium wrap and solid timber products. Our range allows you to match sizes and colours perfectly with our solid timber species, ensuring a consistent design narrative across different elements of your projects. Maintain a unified look across your project with the flexibility to design spaces that flow naturally from one area to another, whether transitioning from an interior ceiling to an exterior soffit divided by glass or other applications. 

A great example of this is the Quay Quarter Tower project which has interior ceiling timber battens and exterior soffit wood finish aluminium batten separated with glazing.

4. Less Maintenance, More Durability 

Our Wood Finish wrap not only mimics the look of real timber but also provides superior protection against environmental factors. The polyolefin film, manufactured in Japan using electron beam coating technology, ensures high durability and resistance to scratching and abrasion. The German-made reactive hotmelt PUR adhesive offers superior resistance to moisture and temperature.

5. Maximising Value and Minimising Risk

Despite the initial cost, the long-term savings from reduced maintenance and increased durability make our Wood Finish Aluminium a cost-effective choice. Our wrap is backed by Sculptform’s 10-Year Warranty, extendable up to 15 years on request, ensuring peace of mind for the lifespan of your project.

6. Efficient Project Management

Our intuitive Price & Spec quoting tool helps manage costs and specifications efficiently, ensuring compliance requirements are met while providing accurate quotes for seamless project execution. Easily value manage with the change of spacings or profile so you can save on costs when needed.

7. Lightning-Fast Installation

Wood Finish Aluminium makes installation fast and easy compared to our timber range due to:

• Long lengths
• Lightweight
• No defects
