Aluminium is available in a wide range of unique profiles and systems and can be custom designed to suit your project requirements.  

Aluminium is a product with unique properties, making it a natural partner for the building industry. Thanks to its strength, durability, corrosion resistance and recyclability, it has become an essential product for the building industry.  Most recently; aluminium has played a significant role in the renovation of historic buildings.

 

The characteristics and properties of aluminium as a material have lead to revolutionary and innovative changes in building techniques and architectural and engineering projects. Aluminium is leading the way into the future of the construction industry. Aluminium’s high strength-to-weight ratio is one of its major advantages in the construction industry. Aluminium has a density of 2.7, which means that it is a third the density of steel. The strength of the metal can be adjusted to suit the application by proper alloying. Increasingly, aluminium facades are being used to clad non-residential buildings. Such facades can improve the appearance of a building, increase its durability and provide valuable insulation properties, thereby enhancing the energy efficiency of the construction.

 

The high strength-to-weight ratio of the aluminium is one of the properties that makes it particularly suitable for cladding applications. In addition to reducing the cost of transporting aluminium equipment, the materials light weight makes it easier to handle on site. But in spite of its weight advantages, aluminium offers strength properties comparable with those of alternative metal facade panels. In addition, the material’s light weight and high strength results in a low load on the supporting structure of buildings. The dimensions of this structure can therefore be reduced. Such an advantage is particularly important in the case of curtain walls for high-rise buildings.
