  About Acelab
  
  Our mission at Acelab is to transform how the building industry makes material decisions. We've created a comprehensive platform that connects architects with the right materials for their projects because we believe materials are fundamental to transforming inspired designs into exceptional buildings.
  
  At the heart of our mission is the understanding that material choices shape aesthetics, performance, sustainability, and ultimately, the human experience of built spaces. We recognize that architects face overwhelming challenges in navigating hundreds of thousands of products while trying to capture and maintain their firm's collective material expertise.
  
  Through our Materials Hub platform, we aim to:
  
  • Empower architects to make material choices that truly matter
  • Provide easier access to innovative products and collective knowledge
  • Elevate not just individual buildings but the entire built environment
  • Create a shared language for materials that enables seamless communication between architects, manufacturers, contractors, and clients
  • Preserve institutional knowledge within architecture firms
  • Streamline the material selection and specification process
  
  Our mission statement "Because Materials Matter" encapsulates our commitment to elevating material selection from a fragmented, time-consuming process to a strategic aspect of architectural excellence. By connecting the industry's deepest technical database with material decision-making workflow tools, we're working to ensure that every project benefits from better informed material decisions.
