Benefits of Aluminum
Durability & Strength
Aluminum provides significant strength while maintaining its light weight, approximately 1/3 the weight of steel. Aluminum is also excellent in extreme weather conditions, ultimately reducing overall maintenance costs.
Functional & Versatile
Aluminum can be used to create countless shapes and sizes, making it suitable for any and all project specifications. Making this just one of many reasons why aluminum is quickly becoming an important aspect of both residential and commercial construction.
​
Additionally, aluminum knows no boundaries regarding its use in building. Window/door frames, railing systems, outdoor systems, shutters, etc. are just a few of the products setting forth aluminum construction components.
Sustainable & Energy Efficient
Aluminum is highly regarded as one of the most sustainable and energy efficient building materials. Currently, the recyclable content of aluminum is estimated between 50 and 85 percent. Additionally, nearly 75 percent of all aluminum ever produced is still used today. Aluminum extrusion allows for energy efficient construction and long-lasting sustainability, ultimately reducing waste and limiting repairs and replacements.
​
Aluminum construction comes full circle in its sustainability by allowing for recyclable materials, and reduction of landfill. Further, aluminum can be recycled continuously without losing its strength. Collectively, this creates drastic reduction in the negative environmental impact compared to other building materials.
Aesthetic Design Capabilities
Aluminum extrusions offer countless advantages for unique design because of its malleability. Its flexibility allows for endless design features to be incorporated into construction projects.
​
Aluminum also allows for finishes that other products simply cannot. Powder-coating and anodization allow for additional protection against extreme weather conditions. Further, these processes can amplify appearance, create a thicker oxide layer, and create essentially any color or design imaginable.
Unparalleled Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum has become a go-to material choice in construction due to its high corrosion resistance. It is weatherproof, corrosion resistant, and exempt to the negative impact of UV rays. Collectively, these characteristics reduce maintenance and improve longevity.
