What is the wood grain aluminum?
wood grain aluminum, also known as timber look aluminum, a metal decorative material that replicates wood textures and colors on aluminum surfaces through pre-rolled coating, thermal transfer, or similar techniques.
Combining the durability of metal with the aesthetics of wood, it serves as an eco-friendly alternative to timber for architectural facades, cladding, siding, ceilings, and interior/exterior decor.

Production techniques
Different coating techniques are chosen based on project needs: roll coating for large facades, powder coating or water transfer for complex shapes, thermal transfer for high-detail small areas, thermal transfer combined with PVDF for maximum durability, and roll coating again for budget-friendly solutions.
Thermal transfer
- Process: High-temperature transfer of wood patterns onto aluminum.
- Pros: High realism, customizable designs.
- Cons: Discontinuous texture, moderate durability (8–15 years).
- Applications: Small-scale decor, personalized projects.
- Cost: Medium-high. sing.
Powder Coating
- Process: Wood-grain effect using specialized powders on irregular profiles.
- Pros: Adaptable to complex shapes, easy repairs.
- Cons: Uneven texture, lower durability (8–15 years).
- Applications: Curved surfaces, double-curvature designs.
- Cost: High.
Roll Coating
- Process: Mechanical coating for continuous wood patterns.
- Pros: High efficiency, durability (15–25 years).
- Cons: Limited customization.
- Applications: Large-scale facades, exterior walls.
- Cost: Medium-low.
Film Lamination
- Process: Adhesive-backed wood-grain films.
- Pros: High decorative appeal.
- Cons: Low durability (5–10 years), indoor use only.
- Applications: Indoor decor.
- Cost: Low.
Combined Processes
- Thermal Transfer + PVDF Powder Coating: Extreme weather resistance for premium facades.
- Roll Coating + Thermal Transfer: Balanced texture and durability for outdoor walls.
- Powder Coating + Thermal Transfer: High adhesion for complex shapes.
