Labor Savings & Enhanced Designs
With almost limitless design flexibility, aluminum extrusions enable sophisticated design features and labor-saving functionality to be readily incorporated into building components. Add the ability to achieve a wide range of decorative finishes via either anodizing or coating with high-performance architectural paints and the environmental benefit of a material that can be readily recycled without loss of properties, and it is clear why extrusions find wide use in the commercial construction environment.
You'll find aluminum extrusions in
- Windows & Doors (including hurricane & blast resistant)
- Curtain Wall
- Skylights/Rotundas
- Store Front Systems
- Atriums & Observatories
- Canopies & Archways
- Sun Shades & Louvers
- Interior partitions & furniture systems
- ... and many more applications
Extrusion Benefits
"Using Aluminum Extrusions to Meet the Challenge of Sustainable Buildings" presents an overview of evolving green/energy codes and their impact on the specification of aluminum extrusion-based building components. The presentation also offers alternative thermal management technologies and illustrates how aluminum extrusions can contribute to “green” commercial structures.
