Extrusion and fabrication of aluminum alloys can provide many advantages to manufacturers. The process of aluminum extrusion has become instrumental in the development of features used in construction. Some of the benefits of aluminum products in the construction industry include reduced costs and improved structural integrity compared to other metals and materials commonly used to create parts, components, and products. Aluminum can be used in the design and production of energy-efficient doors and windows quickly and easily due to the ability of the manufacturer to produce complex shapes in long, continuous pieces. With the use of aluminum surface treatments and different aluminum alloys for extrusion, it is possible to further enhance the natural properties of this versatile metal.
Aluminum Extrusion in Construction
While lightweight aluminum has been used in many different industries to create paneling for transportation vehicles and outdoor furniture for homeowners, the use of denser, even stronger structures are being used more frequently. The benefits of aluminum products have been recognized, not just in the manufacture of electronics and other consumer goods, but as valuable parts for construction. In fact, there are many ways that aluminum alloys for extrusion are used in construction. Considered eco-friendly due to its high recycling rate and ability to be recycled repeatedly without losing its inherent properties, aluminum is often the first choice for architects working on LEED certification projects for energy-efficient construction.
Extruded profiles that are enhanced with aluminum surface treatments can be used for internal and external construction elements. Lighting fixtures, stairwells, elevator shafts, and many other structural and mechanical areas of construction can all be made with aluminum extrusion and fabrication. Aluminum profiles are thermally improved to help maintain temperature control in residential homes and high-rise buildings. Reusable, sustainable, and easy to produce quickly for construction, there are many benefits of aluminum products that make them attractive to developers and builders alike. Extrusion can take on an unlimited number of shapes and sizes, depending on the needs of the client. At Silver City Aluminum, we work with each client on a case by case basis to design custom solutions that exceed expectations.
