Aluinvent collaborated with Kingspan to deliver a 2000m2 facade to the DVTK multifunction sports complex. Aluinvent’s LO & LO2 panels provided a bold finished aesthetic, mounted on a console railing system fixed directly to the Kingspan sandwich panels. The two products compliment each other providing excellent thermal efficiency for the building. The finished facade is continuous and unbroken. This is thanks to the use of Aluinvent’s LO2 panels which allow light and air to penetrate through the open celled structure without having to cut large voids to accommodate window cavities and venting outlets.

At the 2019 S/Alon design fair, we were invited to take part in the development of the lighting installation wall for BMW Wallis. The team was commissioned to create a design for an aluminium foam panel wall decoration which could be backlit. Part of the brief was to hide all wall fixings and joints to create a truly unified fully seamless wall piece. During construction, we used screws to fix the Aluminium foam facade to the console-railing system. The flexibility of the console-railing system enabled us to easily adjust it to the interior wall dimensions. This allowed us to complete the installation in a limited time span. The desired lighting effect was achieved by the installation of RGB LED strip lights, which could later be modified t... More

Aluinvent LO & LO2 panels and sub-structure create the facade for this landmark Biomass Power Plant in Virovitica, Croatia. 1600 square metres of panels in a range of green shades  respond to the sustainable nature of the green energy produced by the facility. The design incorporates LO2 panels at strategic locations that allow light to penetrate, illuminating parts of the building’s interior. The LO2 panels simultaneously allow excess heat to escape through designated venting points whilst maintaining a constant unbroken facade. The use of Aluinvent’s recycled facade panels contributed to the facility being built in accordance with the Sustainable Development Policy of The Republic of Croatia and The EU. Caption... More

The Budaörs bus terminal, winner of the BigSEE Architecture Award 2020 for Public and Commercial Architecture formed the focal point for an urban regeneration project which reimagined the existing relationship between the old terminal building and vehicular and pedestrian movement corridors. Caption Caption Aluinvent worked with Architects, Intramuros, to ensure precise installation of the LO panels working with the building’s complex dimensions. Aluinvent’s console railing system was fixed directly to the concrete supporting structure which made installation of the rainscreen cladding quick and easy. The panels, made from recycled aluminium, require little to no maintenance or cleaning after installation and are... More

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean amongst the lust green paddocks of Berry, sit two tiny copper towers.

For the outdoor art exhibition Beaufort ’21, Poly Products has manufactured an unique object designed by Goshka Macuga: Family Module. A group of figures shows a small family scene. The unusual dimensions, 6m high, make this an impressive appearance at the Nieuwpoort Promenade in Belgium. At first glance the object seems incredible massive and heavy but looks are deceiving: the object is in fact very light and does not have a heavy foundation. Poly Products’ XXL-3D printing technique was key in making these objects. Start small and go big: 3D printing is the solution Base of the project were 3 small clay models, each 40cm high. The challenge was to enlarge these ten times without getting incredibly heavy. A digital approach, u... More

This hotel in Amsterdam is the largest Holiday Inn Express in Europa. It is located on the northern shore of the IJ-lake, is 45 meters high, consists of 2 towers, has 14 floors and 438 rooms and a magnificent view of Amsterdam. The almost 11.000m2 of cladding were anodised by Alumet in the colour AluGold03.Anodised aluminium has multiple advantages. It is very durable and corrosion resitant. Colours are UV resitant thus colourfast. Anodised aluminium retains its metal character and can easily be cleaned. It is part of the circular economy as it can be 100% recycled and therefore re-used.  More
