 We
were looking for a substrate that had inherent structural integrity, was lightweight and
had the ability to be curved. ALPOLIC® was
able to be curved into dramatic conical shapes that could be suspended from the existing
stud framed walls. Also, it was important that the surface finish was such that vinyl
graphics could be readily applied.

The creative challenge facing the designers was to use the walls
as pages in a book to visually tell the story of this new technology paper company.
A 3/4" plywood support
frame was constructed and hung approximately 2' off the floor on existing wall studs
around two thirds of the room.Pre-rolled ALPOLIC® was then
attached in sections with aluminium angles to the framing system.
The two dramatic conical
shapes were achieved by rolling and forming precut flat ALPOLIC® that
was then butted and secured with screws through the rout and return joints.
The surface of the ALPOLIC®
is so smooth that vinyl graphics were easily applied and even up close have the
visual appearance of silkscreening.
