ALUCOBOND AXCENT .063” and .080” is available in eight stock colors, 58 made-to-order colors at low minimum quantities and custom colors to meet the needs of every project. The offering of ALUCOBOND AXCENT flat sheets in complementary colors to ALUCOBOND PLUS aluminum composite material supports the overall vision and design aesthetics of architects and designers by providing a cohesive color palette and material for nearly every application.

Other key features of ALUCOBOND AXCENT .063” and .080” includes:

  • Custom length availability which helps to eliminate jobsite waste and provide cost efficiencies
  • Pre-painted surface which reduces project delays and delivers superior color uniformity
  • Formability, which may be achieved with brake-bend methods for dynamic curves, shapes and panels
