Aluminium plays a very large part in the design and appearance of all types of building yet in terms of the construction industry, aluminium is a 'new product'. Aluminium is little more than a 100 years old, and its benefits and applications are still being discovered and investigated.

From patio doors in homes to exterior curtain walling for giant skyscrapers, aluminium is an important architectural feature.

The usefulness of aluminium to architecture and building continues to grow through the availability of new surface finishes, offering ever greater degrees of protection and an almost limitless choice of colours.

The commercial development of aluminium began with shopfronts and entrance doors, extending into the vast expanses of glazing which are now an established feature of the urban landscape.

For domestic customers, aluminium not only holds a commanding share of the replacement window market but it is also a common choice for conservatories and other components while housebuilders also favour aluminium for many situations.
Many examples of the use of aluminium can be seen in Projects.
