Architectural panel selection and specification

Move from facade or interior design intent to a defined panel specification. Compare material families, coordinate finish samples and review technical evidence before handing a clear scope to procurement.

Find architectural panelsCompare options

01 / Material strategy

Start with
the design intent.

The building envelope

Start with the ACM, HPL, UHPC and GFRP material selection guide to distinguish constructions and prepare a consistent comparison.

For exterior cladding, review TAKTL architectural UHPC, ALMINE metal composite panels and exterior HPL facade panels. Each family has its own construction, surface options and assembly requirements.

Interior surfaces & custom forms

For interior surfaces, start with Compactwood decorative wall and ceiling boards. For project-specific geometry, explore custom GFRP architectural elements and define the shape, finish and connection scope early.

02 / Working sequence

A decision.
A record. A next step.

Use the stage that matches your project. Technical review, sampling and budgeting may run in parallel.

  1. 01 /

    Define the application

    Explore applications
    Bring
    Project location, building use, exterior or interior exposure, design intent and delivery stage.
    Decide
    Which materials and product families warrant review for this use?
    Record
    An application brief and initial product shortlist.

  2. 02 /

    Compare the shortlisted products

    Compare products
    Bring
    Panel construction, appearance, geometry, attachment approach and available documentation.
    Decide
    Which options meet the design intent, and what remains to be confirmed?
    Record
    A comparison with open questions assigned to the project team or supplier.

  3. 03 /

    Review samples and visual intent

    Request samples
    Bring
    Named product, finish preference, texture, viewing conditions and any mock-up requirement.
    Decide
    What sample or mock-up is needed to approve the visual range?
    Record
    A recorded finish selection and an agreed sample or mock-up scope.

  4. 04 /

    Coordinate technical evidence

    Review documents
    Bring
    Exact construction, current product data, relevant test reports, substrate and attachment details.
    Decide
    Does the submitted evidence address the proposed product and complete project assembly?
    Record
    A reviewed specification basis, responsibilities and unresolved items.

  5. 05 /

    Hand over a defined procurement package

    Prepare the procurement handoff
    Bring
    Product and finish schedule, elevations or part drawings, quantities, approved samples and required documents.
    Decide
    Can the buyer request comparable quotes against the same scope?
    Record
    An RFQ package with drawing revisions, exclusions and approvals clearly recorded.

03 / Specification notes

Product. Surface. Attachment.
Keep the decisions connected.

A /

Select the construction

Compare UHPC, metal composite, exterior HPL, interior decorative boards and custom GFRP elements by their documented applications.

Explore material families

B /

Record the visual reference

Name the manufacturer, product, finish and sample revision. Request a range or mock-up where the design needs one.

Discuss finish samples

C /

Coordinate the assembly

Match product data to the offered construction and coordinate joints, fixing points, supporting structure and project requirements.

Review technical documents

04 / Open a project brief

Bring the drawings.
Keep the questions.

Send the project use, location, current drawings, selected families and open technical questions. The project request can start with a document review or budget inquiry while remaining selections are developed.
