Design

Welcome to Architectural Plastics, where our passion for design meets cutting-edge innovation. Nestled in the rolling hills of Petaluma, CA, our 16,000 sq. ft. facility is a hub of creativity and precision, bustling with makers who live and breathe design.

Since 1977, we’ve been redefining what’s possible in the world of plastics, building a reputation for tackling challenges that leave others scratching their heads. Our secret? A relentless pursuit of innovation and an unwavering commitment to service and quality.

We’re proud to work with a dazzling array of modern materials—Acrylic, Polycarbonate, Lumasite, Corian, HDPE, Type-1 PVC, ABS, Komatex, Polygal, and wood. From designers and architects to corporations, museums, and private clients, we help bring your boldest ideas to life.

While our roots are in plastics, our branches extend into the world of high-end woodworking and cabinetry. Our seasoned artisans blend woodworking expertise with state-of-the-art CNC machines to create custom cabinetry and woodwork that stands out for its beauty and precision.

  • Many clients come with an idea, sketch, design drawings or concept art. Working from this starting point, the Architectural Plastics sales staff and design team help by selecting the proper materials and suggesting possible design alterations to achieve the client’s goals in both form and function.

  • As the manufacturing sector gets more advanced, so do the tools it uses. The Architectural Plastics design team is proficient in both the Autodesk Suite and SketchUp design software. Whether or not a client is familiar with these programs, the software is used to their benefit by creating precise scale drawings, concept artwork, and making quick design changes that can be reviewed.

  • Several of the projects undertaken at Architectural Plastics involve creating something that has never been made before. The sales staff, design team and fabrication crew work collaboratively to quickly solve design challenges and expediently create prototypes. Once a prototype is made and approved, they will continue to find more efficient ways to create production units.
