Aluminium
The Trusted Building Material Offering Future Proof Capability.
Archetech - Page 46
Aluminium is the ubiquitous construction
material, constantly evolving with design.
It is a building material that offers the
designer reassurance as well as catering
for new demands. For construction
professionals gaining a grasp of its
capability is a future proof skill.
Aluminium gives the architect the
opportunity to design feature and style
to a building every time it is specified.
Naturally, each project is different and
aluminium can complete the design
concept of even the most innovative
practice. Developments in 3D modelling
and extrusion now mean that aluminium
is the building material which literally
pushes the envelope to the forefront of
design.
Aluminium is functional and offers sturdy
assurance that it will withstand the
rigours of the British weather, testing to
CWCT standards to Sequence B takes the
design safety test up to 3600Pa.
Comar Architectural Aluminium Systems
offer Aluminium products that are robust
and ideal for high traffic applications,
such as retail, school or hospital. If one
considers entrance doors, available in
configurations such as swing, sliding,
sliding/folding, the robust profiles ensure
longevity even with endless open and
closing cycles.
In essence aluminium is the building
material that, through its long use, has
developed to provide function, form and
solutions for even the most demanding
projects. Systems Houses, such as
Comar Architectural Aluminium Systems,
continually develop and refine their
profile catalogues to meet the demands
of cutting edge designers, providing
support and calculation at any stage of
the tender process.
Now with improvements in glass and
to keep up with Document L, systems
can utilise thermal foam and increased
thermal break technology to take
performance to Code for Sustainable
Homes Level 6. With the EAA’s (European
Aluminium Association) “Future
Generations” initiative, aluminium’s
long reputation as a recyclable material
is gaining further exposure. Future
Generations, is a scheme which highlights that the use of aluminium is
actually creating a bank of material that
can be re-used and recycled in the future.
Aluminium is a true “cradle-to-cradle”
material with a real end of life value. In
fact, due to the value of scrap aluminium,
it has one of the most development
recycling schemes in existence.
