Architectural Aluminum.
Built for What’s Next.
CLADEX architectural aluminum systems give commercial façades depth, rhythm, texture, and a distinctive material identity.
CLADEX PRODUCT FAMILY
A growing system of profiles, finishes, and exterior possibilities.
The current linear-profile collection brings depth, rhythm, clean lines, and material character to modern exterior environments while the CLADEX platform remains open to future verified systems, components, finishes, and project solutions.
PRODUCT FAMILIES
Built to expand with the project.
The current CLADEX catalog centers on linear extruded profiles. The platform is intentionally structured to grow as additional verified systems and components are introduced.
Panel Systems
Future large-format architectural panel solutions will be presented only when product information is verified and available for release.
Soffit + Screening
Future exterior ceiling, batten, and screening categories can integrate into the CLADEX platform as verified offerings are added.
Trims + Project Conditions
Perimeter, transition, corner, termination, movement, and attachment conditions coordinated around the selected system and project requirements.

ARCHITECTURAL REFERENCE IMAGERY These images are design/reference imagery only and are not represented as completed CLADEX projects or verified installations of CLADEX products. Actual CLADEX appearance, profile geometry, scale, detailing, finish, attachment, and installed conditions may differ.
COLORS & FINISHES
Architectural finishes.
A unified material language.
The current finish collection features Natural Wood Finish, Matte Black, and Matte Gray. Additional verified finish options can be introduced as the collection expands.
Natural Wood Finish
Warm architectural character with a wood-inspired appearance.
Matte Black
A restrained dark architectural finish for contemporary façades.
Matte Gray
A neutral architectural finish suited to modern commercial environments.
Digital finish representations are for general visual reference only. Actual color, grain, gloss, texture, and appearance may vary by profile, production lot, lighting, fabrication, and display. Review an approved physical sample before final finish selection.
WHY ALUMINUM
Wood character.
Aluminum DNA.
CLADEX is positioned around the precision and architectural flexibility of aluminum—not as another wood-plastic siding product.
Non-organic substrate
Aluminum itself does not rot, swell from absorbed moisture, or serve as a food source for termites.
Extrusion precision
Aluminum extrusion supports controlled geometry, repeating lines, ridges, reveals, and shadow-producing profiles.
Architectural versatility
Linear profiles can create restrained flat fields, pronounced ribbing, warm wood-inspired accents, and dark contemporary façades.
Established recycling stream
Aluminum has a mature recycling infrastructure, subject to local recycling conditions and product composition.
ALUMINUM + WPC
Two different material strategies.
This comparison describes general material characteristics, not project-specific performance claims. Actual products vary by formulation, coating, profile, and wall assembly.
ConsiderationArchitectural AluminumWPC
Base materialMetal / aluminumWood fiber or flour + polymer composite
Profile geometryPrecise extruded sections; suited to ribs, reveals, and shadow linesComposite extrusion; geometry and stiffness depend on formulation and section design
Moisture absorptionAluminum itself does not absorb waterVaries by formulation, cap layer, cut edges, and exposure
Rot / insectsAluminum itself does not rot and is not a termite food sourceGenerally designed for improved resistance versus natural wood; varies by product
Fire considerationAluminum base material is noncombustible; complete wall assembly still requires evaluationContains polymer; fire performance depends on the specific product and assembly
RecyclingEstablished aluminum recycling streamMixed wood/polymer composition can be more difficult to recycle
Design positioningArchitectural façade material with metal precisionOften positioned as wood-alternative composite cladding, decking, or screening
SOUTHERN ARCHITECTURE
Sun. Heat. Humidity.
Material choice matters.
For projects across Texas, the Gulf Coast, Florida, the Southwest, and other warm-weather markets, exterior materials face intense sun, heat cycles, humidity, rain, and demanding building-envelope conditions.
No organic wood substrate
The aluminum substrate itself does not absorb moisture, rot, or provide food for termites.
Designed around movement
All exterior materials move with temperature. Aluminum systems should be detailed for thermal movement, attachment, joint conditions, and actual project exposure.
Rainscreen potential
Where designed as part of a ventilated rainscreen assembly, cladding can support drainage and ventilation behind the exterior surface. Assembly design must be project-specific.
Finish performance must be verified
UV, color-retention, coastal, corrosion, and coating-performance claims will be published only when supported by verified CLADEX documentation.
CLADEX does not claim that aluminum cladding by itself reduces building temperature, provides hurricane resistance, or meets a particular fire, wind, water, coastal, or energy-performance standard unless supporting documentation for the applicable product and assembly is available.

CURRENT DOCUMENTATION →SYSTEM CONDITIONS
More than the field profile.
Successful cladding requires coordinated perimeter, transition, termination, corner, movement, and attachment conditions. CLADEX project support can review currently available information for the selected profile and wall assembly.
Starter / Base
Base and starting conditions should be coordinated with drainage, substrate, profile orientation, and the actual wall assembly.
Outside Corners
Corner geometry and trim conditions depend on the selected profile, architectural intent, and verified accessory/detail availability.
Inside Corners
Inside-corner conditions should be coordinated with the selected profile, adjacent materials, substrate, and actual wall assembly.
Jambs + Terminations
Openings and panel terminations require project-specific coordination with adjacent materials and weather-management details.
Movement Conditions
Expansion and movement requirements must be determined for the actual material, lengths, exposure, attachment method, and project conditions.
Attachment
Fasteners, spacing, substrate requirements, and attachment design must be based on verified product information and project-specific requirements.

REQUEST TECHNICAL SUPPORT →FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Start with the basics.
General answers for early project evaluation. Project-specific requirements should be confirmed with CLADEX and the appropriate project professionals.
Where can CLADEX profiles be considered?
The current CLADEX presentation is focused on contemporary commercial exterior environments, including façades, exterior walls, entrances, feature walls, hospitality, retail, office, mixed-use, and institutional applications. Final suitability depends on the actual project and wall assembly.
What finishes are currently shown?
CLADEX currently presents three finish directions: Natural Wood Finish, Matte Black, and Matte Gray. Digital representations are visual references; review an approved physical sample before final finish selection.
Can I request physical samples?
Yes. Use the project inquiry form and select “Sample Request.” Include the profile or finish you are evaluating in the project description.
What are the nominal profile cover widths?
Triple Ridge 150 — 150 mm; Plane 150 — 150 mm; Plane 200 — 200 mm; Double Ridge 120 — 120 mm; Quad Ridge 200 — 200 mm.
Are CAD, BIM, and typical details available?
CLADEX will publish digital design files and typical details only after the applicable geometry and detail information have been verified for release. Contact project support for currently available information.
How are corners, openings, and terminations handled?
These conditions depend on the selected profile, adjacent materials, substrate, wall assembly, weather-management strategy, and verified accessory/detail availability. They should be coordinated for the actual project.
What technical documentation is available?
Current public information includes the CLADEX profile family, nominal cover widths, finish directions, and project-support pathways. Additional documentation may be available or developed for specific products and projects as it is verified.
How do I request project pricing?
Use the project inquiry form and select “Quote Request.” CLADEX will follow up for the information needed to evaluate the request.
