Construction Specialties, a longtime innovator in façade and interior solutions, introduces STYX™. This architectural system uses independently fastened linear profiles to enhance depth and bring visual interest to both interior and exterior settings. STYX integrates aesthetics and functionality by using lines and texture to define spaces and create visual impact.
The aluminum profiles are lightweight and easy to install. Thanks to its patented Quick Lock™ attachment system, installation is fast, seamless, and complete in just three simple steps. The versatile
pieces can also be curved to simulate flow, waves or visual movement as they hug walls or ceilings while pre-made corners sport precise right angles that are attached in vertical, horizontal or diagonal
orientations. The sticks are available in three standard depths of 2”, 4”, or 6” and are up to 10’ long.
Optional integrated LEDs can be incorporated to further enhance visual impact. STYX can move light from walls to ceilings with LEDs in the front of the profile for direct lighting or placed behind the
profile for backlit, ambient lighting.

Standard STYX is meant for interiors, but with its powder-coated scratch-resistant finish, it can also be custom-engineered to withstand the outside elements and be applied outside, allowing for seamless transition to exterior spaces. Due to CS’ long-standing expertise in interior and exterior integrations with louvers, sunshades, and screens, the team is ready to assist with engineered connections for outside applications. Finishes include solid colors such as Winter White, Basalt, Dusk, Midnight, Dawn, Cameo, Dolomite, Nougat, Mangosteen, Hazelnut, Cacao, Deep Sea, and Herbaceous.
Woodgrain-look offerings include hard maple, scrubbed walnut, vanilla ash, Douglas fir, American Oak, black cherry, light walnut, warm walnut, driftwood, barnwood, and oxidized bronze.
Custom colors are available, and STYX can be ordered with a primed coat to allow for painting in the field before installation. All coatings meet AAMA 2604 specifications to provide a durable and fade
resistant finish. CS offers a 10-year warranty and a two-year material warranty.
