ALUMINIUM FOR ARCHITECTURE
ALUMINIUM FOR ARCHITECTURE
Aluminium, a relatively new metal with commercial applications starting in the 1950s, is significant in construction for creating sustainable, safe, and comfortable buildings due to its excellent properties.
Aluminium offers design flexibility, environmental safety, and a favorable strength-to-weight ratio, facilitating handling and installation. Its low weight combined with inherent strength and rigidity allows for high performance with reduced weight.
The Falkit® system is an aluminium-based cladding system known for versatility, easy assembly, and adaptability to various applications such as ventilated facades, canopies, and decorative panels.
- Ventilated Facade: Provides natural ventilation and vapor permeability, preventing condensation and allowing for energy savings.
- Fire Resistance: Aluminium and its alloys have an A Reaction to Fire classification, making them non-contributing to fire.
- Easy Installation: Modularity and low weight allow for quick transport, handling, and installation, reducing costs.
- Renovation: Ideal for renovations due to low weight and ability to improve thermal performance in older buildings.
- Long Service Life: Requires no specific maintenance beyond regular cleaning, with excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
- Recyclability: Aluminium is 100% recyclable, with low energy consumption during recycling, maintaining its properties and supporting the Cradle to Cradle concept.
The Falkit® system is 100% recyclable, emphasizing sustainability. It offers anodized and lacquered finishes, enhancing hardness, corrosion, and abrasion resistance. The anodizing process increases the oxide layer for protection and aesthetics, while lacquering ensures durability with various color options.
The Falkit® system supports large and small panels for exterior and interior projects, with modularity for vertical, horizontal, inclined, and curved installations. Different substructures like ECP, OM, and BA cater to specific insulation and ventilation needs.
Aluminium requires minimal maintenance. Outdoor cleaning depends on environmental exposure, with periodic water cleaning recommended. Neutral cleaners should be used for stubborn dirt, avoiding acidic or alkaline agents and abrasives.
The Dekorakit system includes extruded aluminum profiles and hanging accessories for functional wall and furniture coverings, offering flexibility for easy changes in displayed products.
Falkit aluminum skirting boards are moisture-resistant, easy to install, and made from aluminum alloy EN AW 6060 T6, known for excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
Alu-Stock offers aluminum textures for surface lining and furniture, including Serrakit plates with serrated textures and Dekor decorative plates with frosted and sanded finishes.
Alu-Stock provides a comprehensive range of aluminum products for architectural applications, including standardized profiles and sheets, and specialized solutions.
Alu-Stock offers the Falkit® HR40 handrail system, glass balustrade system, Alu-Style system for space separation, non-slip plates, and a wide array of standard products adaptable to numerous architectural solutions.
