Aluminium facade is considered the face of a building and is often seen as one of the most important design aspects, it not only protects the interior of a building from various climates, it is also the building’s main feature or frontage. Aluminium facades are commonly used on buildings all over the world.

Aluminium facade can be used on buildings for multiple purposes. Most architects use facade systems for heat control, sun control or ventilation of buildings. In modern architecture, Aluminium facades are very popular because of its different uses.

ALUMINIUM FACADE ADVANTAGES

In architectural cladding there are many advantages in using Aluminium over other metals. When designing and constructing buildings it’s always important to look at all possible advantages that metal can offer. We listed some of the most important material qualities of Aluminium.

Aluminium is very lightweight
Aluminium facade systems will be easier to install than for example steel facade systems. This is because Aluminium is an extremely light metal, weighing a third of the weight of steel. When designing your facade, Aluminium will save costs and is easy to install.

Resistant to weather and corrosion
Aluminium is oxide coated, this coating protects the metal from corrosion and other weather effects naturally. Having Aluminium is, therefore, an advantage for your building. Aluminium will last for several decades.

Aluminium is very flexible
If you are looking for a flexible metal then Aluminium is your metal of choice. It’s easily bent and very flexible. This is why we can supply any tailor-made facade system easily in Aluminium.

Aluminium is easy to recycle
Of all the metals Aluminium is the metal that is very easy to recycle without losing quality. It takes very little energy to recycle and that without loss in quality.

 1. Polyester Powder Coating (PPC) is a colouring process used within architectural fabrications. This process can achieve bright and bold finishes, which include a full metallic colour range. All of Metal line’s PPC Aluminium products are available in every RAL or BS colour and recognised for their functionality.

Aluminium is one of the most frequently powder coated materials. PPC gives Aluminium a durable finish and decorative appearance, which is highly desirable. Polyester Powder Coated cladding is an excellent choice for environmentally friendly projects. Considered to be both more energy and material efficient.

2. Another finish which can be used on Aluminium facades is Anolok Anodising. The process itself increases resistance to corrosion and wear as well as providing a better adhesion for paint primers and glues. Anodising enriches the natural abilities of Aluminium further giving a strongly contemporary finish with incomparable corrosion endurance. Multiple patterns can also be incorporated enhancing the natural metallic appearance without affecting the total UV resistance of the Aluminium cladding.
