Profiles

NewTechWood Alusions are not boards — they’re composite-wrapped decorative wall blocks. Each Alusions block wraps a lightweight hollow aluminum structural core in our UltraShield® composite cap, giving exterior and feature-wall applications the carved sculptural presence of a stacked-stone wall with a fraction of the weight and none of the masonry-trade installation requirements. Available in a straight-grain profile in four UltraShield colors, Alusions blocks are dimensionally stable through seasonal expansion and contraction that move heavier facade materials — and lightweight enough to install on substrates that couldn’t support real stone or veneer. Specified by architects who want the texture, depth, and shadow play of a sculptural composite cladding facade without the structural and weight implications of natural stone or stone veneer — and by custom-home owners who want a single statement wall that doesn’t read as a generic feature wall.

Colors

Our UltraShield® color range spans natural wood tones and contemporary grays, each finished with the same fade- and stain-resistant cap. Colors shown are representative — order a physical sample to confirm the exact tone and grain before you buy.

The UltraShield® Difference

Engineered to outlast the elements.

Every NewTechWood board pairs a dense polyethylene-and-wood-fiber core with a 360° polymer cap, tested against stains, scratches, fade, and boiling water. The result: composite that looks like wood, behaves like a fortress, and stays beautiful for decades.
