Hybrid Wood Technology

Geolam® is a hybrid wood technology for architectural elements, cladding, and soffits — and it's tested non-combustible per ASTM E136. Made of 70–80% recycled materials and 100% recyclable, Geolam delivers the warmth and tactile quality of sanded wood with zero-moisture wood fibers that resist warping, mold, and color fading — no staining, sealing, or ongoing maintenance required.

Overview

The Eco-Friendly Wood Alternative

Geolam boards are engineered with a recycled aluminum core encased in a proprietary wood–polypropylene composite. This hybrid construction combines the structural strength and dimensional stability of aluminum with the refined appearance of natural wood — in a lightweight board that maintains its integrity and appearance even in extreme climates.

Manufactured in Japan and distributed exclusively in North America by Geolam Inc., the boards are easy to handle and install, and can be fabricated into graceful curves for expanded design possibilities. Geolam is used for facades, soffits, louvers, sunshades, screens, pergolas, brise-soleils, and other architectural accents.
