While other manufacturers are restricted by fixed-size click system profiles, our patented mounting system enables us to experiment with different widths within a single design. This gives architects creative freedom that cannot be found elsewhere. Combining narrow and wide profiles creates a façade with a unique cadence, with rhythms that can appear either sleek and minimalist or playful and dynamic. The result is a façade with a lively character and a warm appearance without compromising on functionality.

Innovation in simplicity

Our smart tongue-and-groove connection makes installation quick, precise, and invisible. There are no unsightly screws or seams. The profiles are delivered cut to size, so there is no need for on-site sawing – a major advantage for installers.

Sustainable and fire-safe

Although wood has a timeless appearance, it remains a perishable and combustible material. Type E offers the same visual warmth as wood, but with the ease of maintenance and fire-safe properties of aluminium. Furthermore, aluminium is lightweight, strong and infinitely recyclable, making it an ideal choice for those who want to contribute to a more sustainable and circular construction industry.

Thinking ahead, not following trends.

Alinel is a leader, not a follower. For over ten years, we have listened to market needs and translated them into concrete innovations. Type E is a prime example of this: it is not just a copy of wood, but a whole new take on wooden cladding – ready for the future.
