Aluminium is the perfect material for architectural glazing products. It has practical advantages over all other available choices, including inherent resistance to corrosion and very low whole life costs. It is also an extremely environmentally friendly material and possibly one of the best options for energy saving within the
construction industry.
In the building sector, some 92{0a1c16881c6066bf0894975060704e806027e1c582dd394319fe87346603789b} – 98{0a1c16881c6066bf0894975060704e806027e1c582dd394319fe87346603789b} of used aluminium is collected for re-smelting, which consumes up to 95{0a1c16881c6066bf0894975060704e806027e1c582dd394319fe87346603789b} less energy than processing primary product. As more and more architects and specifiers realise all of the advantages of aluminium, more and more energy-saving recycling looks certain to take place.
