Why Aluminum

What makes it so special?

A hundred years ago aluminum was known as a rather exotic material. Over the decades it will probably be one of the most widely used metals in construction.  The reason is a combination of the outstanding characteristics of aluminum, which nowadays become more and more important:

  • Lightweight
  • Low life cycle cost
  • Environmental-friendly
  • Corrosion resistant
  • Easy to recycle over and over again
