Weather-Resistant Aluminum Composite
Artefex art panels are lightweight but rigid and durable aluminum composite material (ACM)—two strong sheets of aluminum bonded to a solid polyethylene core. The panel is coated on one side with a white polyester coil coating and a mill (polished aluminum) finish on the other side. The panels are available in common sizes from 5×7 to 20×24 inches. This weather-resistant art panel is ideal for a wide range of paint mediums (depending on the surface prep) and mounting applications including:
- Acrylic
- Drawing, i.e., charcoal, ink and silverpoint
- Encaustic and wax
- Oil, oil-resin and alkyd
- Tempera, i.e., casein, egg, hide glue (distemper)
- Watercolor and gouache
- Mounting canvas and paper
Compared to wood panels, Artefex ACM art panels offer a superior support for painting and mounting because ACM panels are virtually unaffected by environmental changes, such as relative humidity (RH) and temperature. This is a professional art panel for painting when primed with water- or oil-based primers or for mounting canvas and paper.
Wide Selection of Surfaces
Choose from unprimed panels, panels primed with acrylic, oil and absorbent emulsion grounds, and panels mounted with linen or cotton canvas primed with oil or acrylic grounds. The wide range provides an art panel for any medium and art work.
The Best Support for Artwork
Although wood is a better choice than stretched fabrics for long-lasting works of art, Artefex art panels provide far more stability and resistance to the environment than even sealed wood panels, because they are unaffected by moisture.
Which Panel is Best for your Art?
The panel comparison chart is a good starting point if you are unsure which Artefex art panel to use. It cross references mediums to the type of panel we recommend. The last six columns describe two important properties, the absorbency and texture of the surface preparation.
