METALS FOR USE IN THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR
These are the metals we think you should consider for your construction project:
ALUMINIUM
Because of its lightweight, strong, durable and corrosion resistant properties, Aluminium features heavily in construction projects worldwide. It gives great freedom to architects and designers, which is why you often find this metal in ceilings and walls, window frames, roof coverings, HVAC systems and as part of bridges and stadia.
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless Steel is a great metal for application in modern construction projects because of its strength, toughness, flexibility, resistance to corrosion and fire and lack of maintenance required. It can be used externally like cladding on tall, large buildings and internally (due to its aesthetic appearance) like on handrails and counter tops.
COPPER
Copper is thought to be the oldest metal known in the construction industry, and to this day it’s still considered one of the most versatile materials available. Because of its conductivity, corrosion resistance, durability, flexibility and strength properties, Copper is suitable for a vast array of construction projects. In terms of applications within the construction industry, Copper is typically found in cladding, electrical wiring, heating systems, guttering systems and roofing.
