The brief
Commercial interiors want warmth and a premium feel, but they also take heavy traffic, cleaning and wear. Real timber looks great on opening day and tired a year later.
How to use it
Use woodgrain battens on reception and feature walls, line ceilings for warmth and acoustic interest, and carry a finish through a cafe or retail space for a coherent brand look. It pairs well with black steel and concrete.
Why aluminium suits it
A baked finish survives constant wiping and brushing past without the wear and staining that mark timber in a busy fitout. It keeps a hospitality or retail space looking sharp through years of trade.
