Alusion™'sfoam creates strong yet lightweight panels. Similar in appearance to a metallic sponge, Alusion™ is visually striking, with a modern dramatic look. For architecture, it is produced in 12,7 mm (½”); 25,4 mm (1”) and 43.2 mm (1.7”) thick, and three densities (Large Cell, Mid, and Small Cell). The surface of the material is either left in its solid form, as produced, or undergoes surface preparations that provide many different appearances from a solid surface “shimmering” look to a translucent “water froth” look

Alusion™ Large Cell - Open Both Sides (Translucent):
Through a specialized process, the aluminum skin on both sides of this low-density material is removed to create a translucent panel; the material is extremely lightweight and allows light to pass through. While all Alusion™ panels are highly reflective, the front side of this panel may be even more reflective than others, even picking up the color of well-lit material at a reflective angle to the panel’.

Alusion™ Architectural Stabilized Aluminium Foam is a unique and visually stunning surface material that is more than skin deep. It provides beauty, strength, and lightweight acoustic solutions for a variety of creative opportunities. The various versions of Alusion™ can be utilized for both interior and exterior applications. Alusion™ is produced by injecting air into molten aluminum, which contains a fine dispersion of ceramic particles. These particles stabilize the bubbles formed by the air.
