// PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Aluminum for more sustainable
& beautiful architecture.

ForMe Design develops a complete family of aluminum cladding, battens, and architectural skins — engineered in Italy to bring the warmth of natural materials together with the performance, longevity, and recyclability of metal.

Where traditional wood requires sealing, refinishing, and eventual replacement, ForMe Design's aluminum systems carry photo-realistic wood-grain and architectural finishes baked into the metal itself. The result is the visual depth of timber with the dimensional stability, fire performance, and lifespan of extruded aluminum.

The product family covers three primary system languages: Battens Light for interior and exterior second-skin treatments, Battens 50 for substantial residential and commercial battens, and Cladding — an aluminum boiserie for prestigious, timeless façade design.

Every ForMe Design profile is fully extruded aluminum — 100% recyclable, fire-rated, and dimensionally stable across Canadian temperature swings from −40°C winter to +35°C summer. Finishes range from photo-realistic walnut, teak, and oak grains to bold powder-coat colours and metallic effects.

ETG distributes ForMe Design across Canada with full pre-construction support — substructure coordination, finish selection, panel-layout optimization, and installer guidance for both new construction and retrofit. From private residences to hospitality, multi-family, and commercial projects, ForMe Design lets architects achieve the warmth of wood without the maintenance burden.
