Aluminum wall panels make an amazing addition to any type of space. While you may see these panels used in retail outlets, they are also a perfect addition to restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, art galleries and even in residential homes.
The beauty of these architectural panel systems, which may also be called slatwall if they are in the standard design, is that they are incredibly durable yet also very stylish. They are also extremely practical as shelves, displays, artwork or any other type of organizational or display option can be easily positioned on the wall and moved as often as needed.
The Practical Features
As mentioned above, the ease of changing how items are positioned on architectural panel systems is as simple as lifting the shelf or item up and out of the groove or slot in the wall formed by the panel system.
While the initial cost of installation of these panels is slightly higher than painting, wallpapering or using standard shelving or display units, they are much longer lasting. The panels are attached to the current wall without any need for additional surface preparation and they will literally last a lifetime as aluminium is naturally stain and corrosion resistant.
There is also the option to consider a finish on the aluminum, creating a variety of colors and textures with the architectural panel systems. This is often a consideration with stores or restaurants where there is a specific color scheme or décor to match.
Using the same aluminum and finish, it is also possible to create display cases, fixtures, furniture and light boxes, perfect for creating a modern, welcoming look that gives the entire business a unique style all of its own.
If you are considering using aluminum architectural panel systems, talk to a specialized aluminum company. Avoid going through a general contractor unless the contractor is prepared to work with a supplier of your choice to get the best quality panels and the best possible pricing.
