About aluminium
The most widely used non-ferrous metal in the world, Aluminium is widely used across a variety of industries including transportation, packaging, household goods and electrical transmission.
Aluminium is a tough yet lightweight metal that is used in industries Australia wide, most notably in the building and construction industry due to the following qualities:
Durable: Aluminium is ideal for use in construction as it is weather proof, corrosion resistant and is also resistant to the affects of UV rays
Flexible: Easily shaped by industrial metalworking processes such as rolling, extrusion, forging and casting, Aluminium is an adaptable material that can be manipulated to any creative design
Lightweight: As Aluminium is such a lightweight material, it is cheap to transport and easy to handle on the construction site
High Strength: Aluminium weighs a third of what steel does but is equally as strong and can be used in a number of building designs.
Corrosion Resistant: Aluminium is naturally hardwearing and resistant to the elements that weather other metals.
Insular: A layer of insulated aluminium siding is four times more effective than uninsulated wood siding, four inches of brick, or ten inches of stone masonry.
Recyclable: Unlike many other materials, Aluminium can be reused over and over again without losing its unique properties, which means that in theory it is 100% recyclable.
