Lightweight and High Strength
Aluminum is a lightweight material, approximately one-third the density of steel. This lightness makes aluminum profiles particularly popular in high-rise building curtain wall systems as it reduces the load on the building structure while providing sufficient strength and rigidity.
Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion, able to withstand various environmental conditions including urban pollution, rain erosion, and other chemical attacks. This makes aluminum profiles an ideal choice for curtain walls in coastal and highly polluted areas.
Easy to Process and Form
Aluminum is easy to process and form into various complex shapes through extrusion, cutting, welding, and other techniques. This offers architects and designers great flexibility in design, enabling unique and innovative architectural appearances.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Friendliness
Aluminum profiles have good thermal break properties, effectively reducing thermal loss in buildings and enhancing energy efficiency. Additionally, aluminum is 100% recyclable, meeting the green building standards of modern architecture.
Aesthetic Appeal
Aluminum profiles can undergo various surface treatments such as anodizing, powder coating, and electrophoresis, not only enhancing their durability but also providing a variety of colors and textures to meet different architectural styles.
Low Maintenance Costs
Due to aluminum's resistance to corrosion and other physical properties, aluminum curtain wall systems generally require less maintenance. This is particularly important for commercial buildings, as reduced maintenance work can significantly lower operational costs.
