The shape of things to come.
What makes Reynobond ACM the ideal
medium for discriminating architects,
designers and fabricators is its remarkable
formability. Available in a variety of
lengths, widths and thicknesses, Reynobond
can be easily formed into small radius

Reynobond Aluminum Composite Material
is as ideally suited for interior and specialty
applications as it is for exterior designs.
Available in a wide range of thicknesses and
sizes, Reynobond panels have been used
successfully throughout the world for such
applications as beam wraps, ceilings, interior
walls, partitions, elevators, fascia, clean
rooms, canopies, kiosks and signage.

Safety. One of our core values.
When we designed Reynobond panels, we
made sure they could take the heat. That’s
why they are also available with a fireresistant (FR) core that meets or exceeds
international building code requirements.
FR material has been proven no more toxic
than wood as evaluated by the University of
Pittsburgh Test Method in accordance with
New Code Provisions.

Reynobond panels can be easily installed
by a variety of different methods such as
rout and return and continuous edge grip.
