Understanding the core properties of aluminium is essential before working with any system – whether you’re designing, specifying, or installing.

In this section, you’ll find simplified explanations of:

• Aluminium Types
  Learn the difference between architectural alloys and standard profiles.
• Surface Finishing
  Intro to powder coating, anodising, and how finishes affect durability and appearance.
• Thermal Breaks
  Why polyamide strips matter – and how they reduce energy loss.
• Basic Performance Metrics
