Frequently Asked Questions

How could MARVALUM be used in the architectural industry?
Answer:

Aluminum is widely used in the architectural industry due to its combination of strength, durability, and light weight, and Marvalum only enhances aluminum’s beneficial characteristics. Some common applications could include:
1. Facade systems: Aluminum is used to create cladding and curtain walls for buildings. These systems provide protection against the elements, while also adding a decorative touch to the building’s exterior.
2. Windows and doors: Aluminum is used to create window frames and door frames, as it is strong enough to support the weight of the glass and provides excellent insulation properties.
3. Roofing: Aluminum roofing systems are becoming increasingly popular, as they are lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion.
4. Louvers: Aluminum louvers can be used to control light and air flow in buildings.
5. Column covers: Aluminum column covers can be used to provide a decorative finish to building columns.
6. Handrails: Aluminum handrails are used in buildings for safety and aesthetic purposes.
7. Sunshades: Aluminum sunshades can be used to reduce solar heat gain in buildings, while also providing a decorative element.
These are just some examples of how MARVALUM^SM can be used in the architectural industry. Its versatility and durability make it a popular choice for many applications, and its ability to be molded and fabricated into various shapes and sizes makes it a versatile material for architects and builders.
