Construction — Commercial

With almost limitless design flexibility, aluminum extrusions enable sophisticated design features and labor-saving functionality to be readily incorporated into building components. Add the ability to achieve a wide range of decorative finishes via either anodizing or coating with high-performance architectural paints and the environmental benefit of a material that can be readily recycled without loss of properties, and it is clear why extrusions find wide use in the commercial construction environment.

You'll find aluminum extrusions in:

• Windows & Doors (including hurricane & blast resistant)
• Curtain Wall
• Skylights/Rotundas
• Store Front Systems
• Atriums & Observatories
• Canopies & Archways
• Sun Shades & Louvers
• Interior partitions & furniture systems
• ... and many more applications

AEC has recently prepared an extensive presentation of extrusion applications & performance in commercial construction:
