CONSTRUCTION CUES
Common uses of aluminium in the modern construction industry include long-span roof systems, taking advantage of the metal’s high ductility to create consistent and durable forms over wide areas. Aluminium is an excellent component of exterior façades and cladding systems, and aluminium alloys have the strength to support heavy glass spans while facilitating new and exciting shapes, giving rise to many of the tallest and most innovative skyscrapers now populating the skylines of the world’s premier cities.
Sagar Datta, an interior designer, says, “Aluminium was traditionally used in the framework of commercial buildings and offices, but is becoming an increasing popular choice for domestic use. The reason for its commercial success is the fact that, alongside exceptional aesthetics, aluminium door and window frames can be found at great value for money. The most eye-catching contemporary design involves innovation, and aluminium allows for this with ease.”
