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.
