Aluminium is one of the most widely used materials in modern construction projects due to its many advantages over other materials. With its high strength-to-weight ratio, aluminium reduces the load on the supporting structure of buildings, which reduces overall costs and saves materials. Aluminium makes buildings lighter, stronger, and less expensive to construct. Aluminium is also naturally resistant to corrosion, and its durability can be enhanced through painting or anodizing. In addition, aluminium offers great design flexibility, allowing architects and contractors to choose from a variety of colours, patterns, and finishes. The construction sector remains the primary use of extruded aluminium.

It is worth noting that approximately 75% of aluminium construction products are still in use today, significantly reducing the environmental impact of this material.
