3A Composites USA is pleased to announce the introduction of a new web-based custom-color request program for ALUCOBOND® aluminum composite material (ACM). This new program – which is accessed via the AlucobondUSA.com website – is designed to make it easier than ever to request ALUCOBOND® samples in custom colors and to track sample production progress.
A big compliment to architects is hearing that one of their building designs has become a recognizable landmark.
That’s the case for architects at the Los Angeles office of Arquitectonica International Corp. who designed the Olume residential building in San Francisco’s Mission District with a unique multi-layered cube-like metal façade featuring a total of five custom earth-toned colors of ALUCOBOND® PLUS aluminum composite material (ACM).
