DAVIDSON, N.C. (Feb. 11) – A plethora of user-friendly tools and inspiring visual imagery captures the imaginations of building architects, designers and specifiers on the newly redesigned ALUCOBOND® USA (www.alucobondUSA.com) website by 3A Composites USA. This easily navigated new website showcases the new ALUCOBOND branding platform and offers a wealth of product and sustainability information as well as new design tools to find the perfect cladding solution for both exterior and interior applications of ALUCOBOND® PLUS and ALUCOBOND AXCENT™.
An exciting new Color Browser, a stimulating Project Gallery, an easy-to-use Build Your Custom Spec tool, in-depth Sustainability practices and an enhanced Corporate Identity listing are just a sampling of the key features incorporated into the new website.
“Given today’s remote work environment, it was important for us to provide a comprehensive set of tools while also making it easy to navigate our site,” said Debbie Sulewski, director, marketing and product development, Architecture Americas, 3A Composites USA. “We gathered feedback from our customers and the architectural community to understand what was needed to make their jobs easier while allowing them to find valuable information in a timely manner. We are very pleased with the results, and we are confident viewers will be able to efficiently find what they need.”
An architect or designer can now filter through 86 stocking colors, visualize them in our Facademaker tool, order samples, download details and utilize the new Build Your Custom Spec (https://www.alucobondusa.com/specifications.html) feature to customize a specification – based on project needs and requirements – all from the website.
The new ALUCOBOND Color Browser (https://www.alucobondusa.com/colors-and-finishes.html) offers specification filters to dial down to the perfect color by finish, temperature or color group and then allows the viewer to easily order samples to see the true color before specifying. Inspiration can also be found in the new Project Gallery (https://www.alucobondusa.com/gallery.html) where 3A Composites is proud to recognize so many outstanding architectural designs that have been achieved through the dedicated efforts of the architectural community and the ALUCOBOND fabrication and installation partners across the Americas.
A concerted effort was made to enhance the Sustainability content found in the website’s Technical Support section, which now provides an in-depth review of 3A Composites’ sustainability practices, environmental initiatives and stewardship focusing on the company’s commitment to Life and Safety (https://www.alucobondusa.com/sustainability.html) and how it is striving to meet the most stringent economic, social and ecological demands.

About ALUCOBOND PLUS
In 1969, we invented ALUCOBOND, aluminum composite material (ACM); and, we’ve been leading the world in design innovation and manufacturing ever since. ALUCOBOND PLUS has been developed exclusively to allow architects and designers to meet the fire performance requirements of today’s building standards while using ACM as the material of choice. Consisting of two sheets of smooth .020” aluminum thermo-bonded to a solid, fire retardant (FR) core, ALUCOBOND PLUS offers proven product properties such as flatness, form-ability, durability and ease of fabrication. It allows architects to meet today’s requirements set by the International Building Code (IBC). As a 100 percent recyclable building material manufactured with both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, ALUCOBOND PLUS can significantly contribute to earning LEED points. ALUCOBOND PLUS is stocked in 86 trend-forward finishes providing specifiers and architects with a plethora of options.
