Aluminum alloys have become the go-to material of choice for numerous building applications with its highly beneficial properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, machinability, durability, corrosion resistance, and reflectivity. At Howard Precision Metals, your premier construction aluminum distributor, we offer a vast array of aluminum alloy and custom extruded aluminum options to meet the needs of your building construction applications.
Aluminum alloy that is extruded, cast, and rolled is commonly used for a range of building construction applications, including:
The properties and characteristics of aluminum for sale have resulted in an array of innovative advancements in building materials and techniques for architectural and design engineering applications. Aluminum is at the forefront of so many building efforts in the construction industry.
The various features of aluminum alloys make them highly beneficial for the building construction industry. These features include:
Aluminum has a density one-third that of steel and its strength may be adjusted with proper alloying.
Construction aluminum alloys are corrosion resistant and also resist the harmful effects of UV rays, helping ensure a long service life.
With its rigidity and high strength, aluminum alloy is ideal for patio doors and sashes and frames for windows. The stability of the metal is beneficial in particular for applications in high-rise structures such as cladding, facades, and windows.
Decorative possibilities are numerous with aluminum able to accept anodizing or lacquering in any color. Also, treating aluminum with certain coatings can enhance its corrosion resistance and durability.
As a non-combustible material, aluminum does not burn, even though it will melt at around 650 °C without dispersing any toxic or harmful gases.
The reflective property of aluminum makes it ideal for applications involving light management. This property is advantageous for reducing energy consumption for heating and lighting, resulting in reduced energy costs.
Aluminum requires no special maintenance, regardless of any special coatings applied.
For the aluminum construction sheet, construction aluminum plate, and custom aluminum extrusions you need for building applications, look no further than Howard Precision Metals.
