More about this product

The lightweight and durable cast aluminum by TACTILE Materials can be cast with finite patterns, smooth curvilinear shapes, and organic surfaces with integrated interior cladding systems. This cost-efficient material brings fissures, bubbles, and flow lines in smaller quantities to an interior cladding system. Tactile Cast Aluminum Cladding™ can be pretreated and coated with Tactile Ceramic Composite™, Tactile Melded Metal™ in bronze, zinc, copper, chrome, or more traditional coatings depending on the project’s interior design requirements.

Tactile’s cast aluminum cladding offers unmatched economies when compared to other cast metal options. The cast aluminum can have different aesthetic characteristics when the Tactile Melded Metal™, Tactile Patina™, or Tactile Ceramic Composite™ finishes are applied on its surface.


The advanced casting technologies available to Tactile allow them to produce relatively thin castings in large sizes to meet the architect’s module preferences. Their advanced software and mold-making facilitate the production of intricate patterns and textures. Curvilinear shapes are cast to support contemporary architecture as well as recreations of historic façade and lighting elements.

Lightweight and durable, the Tactile cast aluminum exterior cladding™ has the capacity to cast finite patterns, smooth curvilinear shapes, and organic surfaces including fissures, bubbles, and flow lines in smaller quantities at a lower cost. The Cast Aluminum Cladding™ can be pretreated and coated with Tactile’s Melded Metal™ in bronze, zinc, copper, Tactile Ceramic Composite™ or more traditional coatings depending on design and performance requirements.

The cladding is available in a nominal thickness of 10 mm (3/8”) to 50 mm (2”). Cast aluminum for exterior cladding is produced in a variety of alloys depending on the application. If the cast aluminum is a façade cladding element Tactile designs, engineers, and produces aluminum armatures.

The armatures bolster the aluminum castings and allow for the attachment to Tactile’s gutter and anchor system.

In the case of Tactile cast aluminum interior cladding,™ nominally available in 10 mm (3/8”) to 50 mm (2”) thickness, it is produced in a variety of alloys depending on the application.

The Tactile Melded Metal™, the Tactile Patina™, and the Tactile Ceramic Composite™ finishes provide architects with an unmatched selection of metal tonality, patinas, and solid colors.
