Aluminium is a recommended material for Cladding and Rainscreen, Fabrications & Planks

Material Overview

Aluminium is 100% recyclable without any loss of its natural qualities. Recycling involves melting the scrap, a process that requires only five percent of the energy used to produce aluminium from ore. However, a significant part (up to 15% of the input material) is lost as dross (ash-like oxide).

Manufacturing from mill finish aluminium gives ourselves a greater flexibility, allowing us to manufacture more intricate shapes and curves due to the ability to use joining methods such as welding. By “buffing” the welds down and post powder coating, in most instances results in these joints being undetectable giving the appearance of seamless product. For anodising it is recommended that the welds are left as laid.

Poor design, manufacture or incorrect selection of material and thickness will result in and aesthetically poor or “rippled” appearance. Contact the technical department at PSP for advice or further information on these issues.

Aluminium is a recommended material for cladding and rainscreen, as well as fabrications and planks. Aluminium Facades offer the basis for some of the most striking architectural designs in the country. Please visit our Case Studies for recent examples.
