sculptural gypsum panels_Transmaterials

modulararts is the result of over two decades of experience in designing and building custom artwork for commercial and residential interiors. With a combination of experienced model-making, casting, and state-of-the-art technologies, modulararts can provide the beauty and subtlety of relief sculpture in modular panels which match up to create seamless, continuous surfaces of any size.

Gypsum, the primary material in modulararts panels, has been favored by architects and designers around the world for its superior fire properties, its similarity to sheetrock in regard to installation, and its relative light weight.

Because modulararts panels are entirely mineral they will not burn. The nature of gypsum acts like a thermal regulator when exposed to flame, also protecting the materials behind it from the heat of the flame for up to two hours. Moreover, modulararts sculptural panels are comprised entirely of nontoxic mineral and are not subject to hazardous polymerization (they do not off-gas like plastics or wood composites).
