- Aluminium foamAlCarbon products consist of a metal foam core (mainly aluminium foam) with coatings of carbon, glass or aramid fibre reinforced plastic, or metallic coatings in e.g. aluminium or steel.
- Hydro sustainable aluminiumHydro Recycled Aluminium is produced from a combination of pre- and post-consumer scrap along with primary aluminium. The recycling process consumes approximately 5% of the energy required to produce primary aluminium. Additionally, Hydro offers Low Carbon Aluminium, manufactured using renewable energy sources. This results in one of the aluminium industry's lowest carbon footprints.

- Hydro CIRCAL 100R Demonstrated Circular Aluminium PotentialAt Milan Design Week 2025, aluminium producer Hydro introduced the R100 project, the second iteration of its material-centred design initiative, following the 2024 100R…
- Aluminium foam with saltThis aluminium foam is made by adding salt or other materials in the casting process. The salt is removed once the aluminium has hardened, turning the material porous. Depending on the size of the salt grains, the porosity can be varied. All openings are connected, which makes the material suitable to use in filter systems. The aluminium is lightweight, shock- and temperature-resistant.
- Cast AluminiumAluminium can be casted in many desired forms and finished in four different ways: tumbling, blasting, brushing and polishing. . The finishing depends on the desired look and the conditions in which the material is applied. The Metrobowl, designed as a fruit bowl for indoor use, is made of casted aluminium. The aluminium was then tumbled.
- GARline® aluminium façade and wall systemGARline® is a modular aluminium façade, wall and ceiling system that offers design freedom through variation in shape, size and finish. The system consists of different finishing profiles: rectangular, triangular, and U-shaped available in multiple dimensions and designed to be combined. This allows architects to play with rhythm, depth and repetition, creating a layered and dynamic façade or interior appearance.

- Extruded aluminium panelsThese corrugated façade panels are made from extruded aluminium using an EN AW 6060 alloy. This alloy has excellent extrusion properties, which has a positive effect on the visible side. The surface can be anodised or treated with a powder coating. Aluminium extrusion offers a lot of design freedom. The technique can realise a 50% weight reduction without the panel losing its strength.
- Coated AluminiumEuramax paints aluminium on coil for roof and wall cladding. Coil coating is also known as "pre-painting". Approximately 65% of all metal cladding is painted using this process. All paint PE, HDPE, PUR-PA and PVDF can be applied up to four layers. All the paints are suitable for exterior use.

- Wool-AluminiumA combination of aluminium and wool in a pre-shaped form. Pre-shaped aluminium profiles combine with thick, heavy strands of wool. The ends are finished with stiff rubber caps. This results in a flexible but sturdy material.
- Aluminium Foam Glass SandwichA bonded system glass with alufoam which can be used as a partition wall. One or two-sided inserts, with a glass top layer are laminated on an aluminium foam plate, in the same as for all other glass-inspiration products.
- PressLoad AluminiumPressload is a lightweight, high strength pressed aluminium panel which offers a high-tech solution within the interior design industry for applications such as exhibition stands, decorative panels and furniture. The material uses a specially designed geometry, similar to an egg box. Its arrangement of conical shells provides strength and the ability to deform in a predictable way.
