EFFICIENT PROCESSES AND GLOBAL FACILITIES Aluminium is one of the most sustainable construction products, with up to 90% coming from recycled sources without any deterioration in quality. We store and finish our building systems locally, with in-house processes ensuring we provide an efficient and reliable service. Product auto-picking allows us to source and select our systems quickly from any of our ten warehouses, while our painting facilities are some of the most advanced in Europe, offering thousands of colours and dual colour options. SOLUTIONS BUILT ON SUSTAINABILITY All of our building systems use aluminium as their core material, which offers an inherent strength necessary for building projects. Aluminium is known for being lightweight, durable, and low maintenance, while also aiding the high performance of our systems due to its immunity to UV, low conductivity, and fire resistance. Up to 90% of all aluminium used in construction is recycled, using 95% less energy to manufacture than its primary production - with no deterioration in quality. This makes it one of the most sustainable construction materials available, reducing carbon emissions and contributing to the lifecycle costing of a building
