Why aluminum is the main building materials in our expansion joint cover and stair nosing? (1)

Aluminium (Aluminum) has properties which makes it suitable as a building / construction material. Nowadays in advanced countries, aluminum became the important construction material for buildings especially for industrial buildings along with brick, cement and steel.

As you see, most our designs for expansion joint cover and stair nosing show aluminum part. It's not just popular but also has excellent performance at fuction.

The aluminum is one of the abundantly available non-ferrous metals on the surface of earth. But it is not available in direct form, generally it is extracted from bauxite. Aluminum also available in the form of oxides, sulphates, silicates and phosphates etc..
