Building & Architecture

Aluminium is now utilized for a host of applications in building and construction and is the material of choice for curtain walling, window frames and other glazed structures. It is extensively used for rolling blinds, doors, exterior cladding and roofing, suspended ceilings, wall panels and partitions, heating and ventilation equipment, solar shading devices, light reflectors and complete prefabricated buildings. Structures like offshore living quarters, helicopter decks, balustrades, scaffolding and ladders, are also commonly made of aluminum.

At YK ALUMINUM we manufacture customized extrusion solutions for your own building systems as well as a wide range of rolled products, such as aluminum foil, sheets and coils for building applications.

Facades
Building façades are one of the largest, most important elements in the overall aesthetic and technical performance of a building. Aluminium gives much needed liberty to new-age architects in terms of design while catering to the changing preferences of consumers worldwide. Aluminum profiles and glass provide the perfect combination to ensure a high level of natural lighting inside buildings.

Curtain walling is building façade system normally made of aluminum, glass and other composite materials, forming a lightweight structure.

Curtain walls are used in all types of buildings, with advantages including a reduced construction period, low cost low weight and strong performance. Aluminium is the material best suited to realizing energy efficiency in curtain wall systems, in terms of allowing daylight in and reducing building cooling costs.

Intelligent facades incorporating aluminum systems can decrease energy consumption in buildings by up to 50%. The key feature of these intelligent buildings is their optimized interaction with the exterior, markedly reducing heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting energy demands throughout the seasons.
