Utah's stunning landscapes and high-quality living attract discerning homeowners to upscale communities like Park City and Salt Lake City. These aspiring residents commonly seek custom-built homes that reflect their unique taste and harmonize with the surrounding environment. For one such family – owners of “Red Ledges” – ALUCOBOND® PLUS installed through the EasyFix™ system, offered the perfect solution for creating a durable exterior, that boasts a blend of rustic charm and modern sophistication.
Balancing Beauty and Functionality
For its builder, the Red Ledges project presented distinct challenges. It required a cladding material that could tolerate extreme weather shifts while also seamlessly coordinating with a mix of other materials to deliver a uniquely custom look that could stand the test of time.
ALUCOBOND PLUS: The Ideal Solution
ALUCOBOND PLUS, the high-quality aluminum composite material (ACM) traditionally used in the multi-family or hospitality industries, emerged as the perfect option. Its durability and versatility made it a clear choice for creating a striking, long-lasting and low-maintenance exterior.
“For Red Ledges, we needed an innovative solution that would make it possible for us to strike an ideal balance between durability, sophistication and affordability, while also delivering a finish that would coordinate brilliantly with a mix of other materials,” shared Anthony Ortega, chief operating officer, Viotell Metal Concepts. “Although ALUCOBOND PLUS is an aluminum composite material (ACM) known for its use on large commercial projects, I believed it checked all the boxes for this home, and utilizing the EasyFix System simplified the installation process for my crew.”
Key Benefits of ALUCOBOND PLUS and EasyFix:
- Durability: Resists harsh weather conditions and maintains its appearance over time.
- Versatility: Offers a wide range of colors and finishes to match any architectural style.
- Fire Resistance: Meets stringent fire performance standards for safety.
- Easy Installation: The ALUCOBOND EasyFix system simplifies installation and reduces labor costs, safety risks and time.
The ALUCOBOND EasyFix System
Instrumental in delivering the finished look of Red Ledges, on-schedule, was the ALUCOBOND EasyFix system. The innovative method boasts just two return sides that pair two types of folds - 135° and 90° - this reduces shop fabrication, enables straightforward field adjustments and results in faster installation. Onsite, panels are simply inserted into incrementally-spaced clips or a continuous rail.
EasyFix creates value for residential builders (and remodelers), while giving homeowners contemporary curb appeal and peace of mind that it will retain its smooth surface for years to come.
A Perfect Match for Luxury Homes
ALUCOBOND PLUS provides a unique combination of beauty and performance that is ideal for luxury homes. Its ability to withstand the elements, maintain its appearance over time and enhance the overall aesthetic of a home makes it a compelling option for discriminating homeowners. These benefits coupled with the time-saving advantages offered by the EasyFix system, enable builders and installers to exceed their clients’ expectations while creating more value for their business.
