Navigating Sustainability When Selecting Aluminium Cladding

Given the various attractions of aluminium cladding, its continued popularity for a range of applications is understandable. However, aesthetic and functional benefits are only part of the equation. Environmental considerations are also critical. This whitepaper discusses the key variables that contribute to the sustainability (or otherwise) of such products, helping specifiers make informed decisions about their material choices.

Given the various attractions of aluminium cladding – which include everything from visual appeal, cost-effectiveness and low maintenance requirements to durability, ease of installation, and more – its continued popularity, for a range of applications, is understandable.

That said, it is important to note that aesthetic and functional benefits such as these are only part of the equation. As is now broadly accepted across the construction sector, product choice should also involve environmental considerations. When specifying aluminium cladding, it is important to consider the raw material extraction methods used to produce them, whether their manufacture includes recycled material, and so on.

This White Paper, titled Navigating Sustainability – Key Considerations when Selecting Aluminium Cladding, examines the environmental credentials of aluminium cladding. It identifies the key variables that contribute to the sustainability (or otherwise) of such products and outlines the best ways for specifiers to identify those that are genuinely sustainable.

Network Architectural is focussed on serving the construction market with high quality façades and architectural finishes.
