Is Aluminium Environmentally
Friendly ?
We use marine grade structural alloy five times as strong as
steel and half the weight. We use about a quarter the
amount of material as it would take with steel and about a
tenth as timber.
It is made from at least 15% recycled material. The
mining and extraction process is heavily monitored in Australia
and complete land rehabilitation is required. We prefer
to use alloy smelted by low impact energy sources (Hydro or
geothermal). We use low energy cutting and welding
systems.
The material doesn’t need priming, painting or protection
from the elements. It has a very long life even in
extreme exposure locations. It can be readily
recycled. It is termite proof. It is lightweight
and strong and has a dramatically reduced transportation impact
over any other material.
