Knowledge

Aluminum is widely used in construction due to its inherent corrosion resistance and light weight.

Aluminum is used in exterior walls, ceilings and walls, doors and windows, stairs, railings, shelves and many other applications.

Aluminum for construction

Due to its characteristics, aluminum offers many benefits for the construction industry:

Alloy

Pure aluminum is a low resistance metal and, therefore, is not suitable for architectural applications, but due to the addition of alloy elements such as copper, manganese, magnesium, zinc, etc., and due to specific production processes , changes its physical and mechanical properties to meet the need for a large number of applications.

Durability

The aluminum alloy for construction is waterproof, anti-corrosive and UV resistant, which guarantees lasting durability

Low maintenance costs

Aluminum does not require any special maintenance, either raw aluminum or lacquered aluminum.

Finish

Aluminum can be anodized or lacquered in any color, so it is possible to achieve the most diverse effects to meet the designer's decorative needs. The aluminum treatment improves the durability of the material and the corrosion resistance.

Reflective property

Aluminum is widely used for light management: the reflective properties of aluminum help reduce the energy consumption of lighting and heating.

For example, in the summer, the use of air conditioners can be reduced by the use of aluminum protection devices.

Aluminum is not flammable.

Aluminum does not burn and, therefore, is classified as non-combustible material (fire response classification A1).

However, the aluminum alloy melts at a temperature of approximately 650 ° C, but does not release harmful gases. As a result, the external and external surfaces (instead of the external surface) of an increasing number of industrial structures are made of thin aluminum sheets that are intended to fuse only in case of a violent fire, thus dissipating heat and fumes and reducing the damage. Caused by the fire.

The impact of aluminum in the construction industry.

Certified studies have shown that alloys, surface treatments (coatings) and the materials used are neutral. The aluminum used in the construction industry has no negative impact on the quality of the air inside the building, land or water.

These are just some of the benefits of using aluminum, and the extraordinary performance of this metal will provide (potentially) unlimited possibilities for construction engineering applications from a technical and technological development perspective.
