Durable, lightweight and resistant to both corrosion and pollutants, aluminium products have a life cycle measured in decades rather than years.

The properties of aluminium include low density and therefore low weight, high strength, superior malleability, easy machining, excellent corrosion resistance and good thermal and electrical conductivity. Aluminium is also infinitely recyclable.

Being naturally corrosion resistant and requiring only minimal routine maintenance, they also retain their aesthetic appeal over the lifetime of the material.

For extruded profiles, the material has great ‘formability’ characteristics making the most complex shapes achievable and then subsequently making the machining and joining together of multiple extrusions a very straightforward process.

These innate qualities make aluminium extrusions the perfect material for a host of finished products and applications, from materials for the home and office – including windows, doors, lighting tracks, awnings, balustrades, tables and chairs – to solar panels and exhibition stands.

At the end of their life, aluminium products can be recycled again and again without any loss of quality and, as the re-melting of aluminium requires little energy, 95% of the energy required for primary aluminium production is saved through recycling.
