Extremely versatile, decorative & durable
Extremely versatile, metal façades meet many requirements for sustainability while offering an outer skin that is both decorative and durable. With an extensive range of materials such as Copper, Bronze, Brass, Stainless Steel, Zinc, Aluminium available, metals can offer a lightweight, high strength, exceptionally flat, and surprisingly, cost effective solution.
Expanded mesh has many practical benefits including improved ventilation, and enhanced security as well as great aesthetics.
Aluminium cladding
Aluminium isn’t just beautiful; it’s practical too. It’s extremely lightweight, highly sustainable, maintenance free, can be anodised or powder coated, and comes in any conceivable colour, as well as looks that mimic Corten or even wood and it does not burn!
It can be completely recycled and turned into other aluminium products. In fact, the CAB state that 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use and recycling rates for architectural aluminium are between 92%-98%.
Available in extruded panels; expanded or perforated mesh can be screen printed onto both panels and mesh.
Aluminium cladding : Case study
BINAA and Smart Architecture were commissioned to design an innovative future oriented statement piece, the result is the amazing Doğuş University located in Dudullu Istanbul, Turkey.
Doğuş University is home to the faculties of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Economics and Administrative Sciences, Arts and Design.
The 14m high Aluminium façade features multiple double-curved 4.2m wide modules that create a 170m curtain divided by the building entrance.
The glass box that sits within becomes an inviting jewel that emphasizes the entrance in the middle of the façade and connects the user to the interior by creating an illusion of transparency and reflection.
Extremely versatile, metal façades meet many requirements for sustainability while offering a facade that is both decorative and durable.
FuturalA1
Futural aluminium cladding is an A1-rated, high impact resistant solid panel that provides outstanding durability.
It is designed as a non-combustible aluminium panel solution, that can be fitted as both face-fixed or hook-on panels. This offers an attractive and cost effective alternative to other flat sheet panel systems.
The Futural System uses a 2mm or 3mm non-combustible aluminium cladding panel which is a durable, impact resistant solid panel that can be prefabricated through curving, rolling or perforation.
The cladding panels are pre-finished, meaning they do not need fabrication prior to the coating process. This allows a reduction in lead times, reduced chances of damage and lower costs.
