Bello Aluminum Panels
Bello Aluminum Panels are durable architectural elements crafted from recycled metals. Available in various thicknesses and sizes, these panels offer UV-resistant powder coatings for extreme weather performance. Ideal for privacy screens, shade structures, and decorative facades, they combine strength with aesthetic flexibility. Custom sizes and finishes accommodate both contemporary and traditional design applications.
Bello Composite Panels
Bello Composite Panels mimic wrought iron at a fraction of the weight, using recycled wood fibers and formaldehyde-free resin. These moisture-resistant panels suit interior and exterior applications including wall decor, cabinetry, and room dividers. With fire-retardant options and customizable finishes, they provide lightweight, low-maintenance solutions for commercial and residential projects requiring intricate metal aesthetics.
Night Orbs
Handcrafted Night Orbs are artistic lighting fixtures made from tempered glass with multicolored layers. Available in 39 hues and multiple mounting options, these UL-certified orbs serve as landscape accents or water feature installations. Their low-voltage design ensures energy efficiency, while weather-resistant construction supports year-round outdoor use in residential and commercial settings.
Porphyry Pavers
Porphyry stone pavers provide durable, slip-resistant surfacing for driveways, walkways, and patios. Sustainably quarried and naturally split for textured finishes, these stones withstand freeze-thaw cycles and heavy foot traffic. Their neutral tones and dimensional stability make them suitable for both historic restorations and modern landscape designs requiring long-lasting, aesthetically versatile materials.
Architectural Glass
Kiln-fired architectural glass panels offer customizable textures, colors, and safety-certified configurations. Suitable for interior partitions and exterior facades, these panels balance design creativity with functional requirements. Available in large formats up to 90x150 inches, they incorporate light transmission properties while maintaining thermal shock resistance for climates ranging from deserts to coastal regions.
