We all like wood.

Architects may be fascinated by its unique, beautiful and natural surface texture, but may also be embarrassed by its cracks, deformation, and mustiness.

But now they have an alternative solution.

The PVC coated aluminum conduit or Solid wood veneer coated aluminum tube is a new type of ecological and economical material, with many advantages, which could replace the wood in many cases of applications in the landscaping and the interior or exterior decoration.

The technology is to paste the solid wood veneer or PVC sheet on the 6063 aeronautical grade aluminum tubes with the hot melt adhesive PUR imported from Germany.

Advantages of this new material:

- Metal, solid inside, same texture as wood on the outside

- Strong and durable, indeformable, maintenance-free

- Hydrosistant, not afraid of water

- Incombustible, supporting up to 500 degrees, perfectly meeting the fire defense

- Resistant to worms and white ants

- Without pollution, odorless, 0 methanal, compliant with different national and international standards

- Lightweight, easy to move and carry

- Recyclable after years of use

- Solid borders without surface detachment problem

- The cover in wood has no pattern repeat, since real wood is used

- The PVC anti-UV is with a PVDF layer on the outside protecting against the UV rays and is externally usable

Some applied cases:

Wall constructed of PVC coated aluminum conduit

Curtain wall made of PVC coated aluminum conduit

Guardrail constructed of PVC coated aluminum conduit

A quick selection table :

	Solid wood coating	Normal PVC coating	Anti-UV PVC coating
Strong points	Identical to solid wood in eye and to touch, even having the aroma of wood. No need for varnish or maintenance if used indoors. Top of the line.	Invisible difference with the wood to the eye. No need for varnish or maintenance used indoors. Cheaper.	Can be used outdoors without varnish or maintenance thanks to its PVDF layer.
Weak points	Necessary to be varnished used outdoors or in any wet environment. More expensive than PVC coating (as expensive as PVC anti-UV).	The anti-UV range is better when used outdoors.	As expensive as the wood coating.
Applies to	The dry environment inside. For example: the false ceiling or the interior wall.	The dry or wet environment inside. For example: the wall of the bathroom.	Perfectly to the outside environment, not afraid of the rain or the Sun. For example: the exterior curtain wall.
