WHERE DURABILITY MEETS MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE

DURABILITY

ALTO is the ideal solution for any design team wishing to offer a durable and environmentally friendly product.

For years, ALTO has been used for wayfinding projects by the most rigorous clients: transit commissions, hospitals, universities, and more. This trust in ALTO panels is due to its durability in all types of environments.

To ensure the best possible durability, ALTO panels are certified to nearly 30 ISO and ASTM performance standards. Some of them are listed in our technical data sheet.

EXCELLENCE

Alto is a product that offers excellent manufacturing limitations, allowing you to give free rein to your imagination.


ALTO panels allows you to bend the panel to wrap a post or a structure, cover the edge of the panel with your graphic, include custom cutouts, experiment with layered panels and enjoy the benefits of very lightweight and sturdy material.

Since ALTO panels are made of recyclable aluminum, they are also environmentally friendly.

ANTI-GRAFFITI

ALTO panels are used in environments most at risk of vandalism. We have contributed to wayfinding projects in subway stations, schools, and outdoor downtown areas.

The reason is simple: ALTO panels offer excellent anti-graffiti protection without the need for additional film or protection. This means you don't have to compromise on visual appeal.

OUTDOOR DURABILITY

ALTO is a product that was designed for outdoor use. That's why it's used all over North America, from the wild trails of Alaska to the sunny parks of Florida.

To ensure the durability of our panels, ALTO is certified by several performance tests. These ISO and ASTM certifications are means of high performance. Here are some of them : ASTM D2794 Impact resistance, DIN 50017 High Humidity test, ISO 9227 Salt test, ISO 3231 Kesternich test (Corrosion), ASTM E84 Fire resistance, and more.

EASY MAINTENANCE

We install many public art projects in government buildings such as hospitals, schools, and town halls. A common challenge for all these clients is ease of maintenance. ALTO perfectly meets these needs.  

The combination of powder coating and sublimation printing results in a panel where chemicals, dust, and adhesives adhere very poorly to the surface. 

Our storage and maintenance specifications are included in our technical data sheet.

FADE 
RESISTANT

ALTO panels are covered by a 10-year limited warranty against fading.


We understand the importance of a wayfinding program. Installing ALTO panels for your wayfinding projects gives you peace of mind. The durability of the panels has been proven all the way to Panama, a region that is naturally very sunny.  


Another great example of a successful project in a very sun kissed region is the Santa Barbara Zoo in California.
