Architectural Design: Based on the building's aesthetics and functional requirements.
Structural Calculations: Ensuring wind load resistance, thermal expansion, and building movement compliance.
Shop Drawings: Detailed drawings for fabrication and installation.
Types of Aluminium Facades
Curtain Wall Systems: Glass and aluminium combined, either unitized or stick systems.
Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP): Sandwich panels with polyethylene core and aluminium skins.
Louver Systems: For ventilation and shading.
Perforated Screens: Decorative and functional metal sheets.
Cladding Panels: Solid aluminium sheets used for rainscreens or aesthetic facades.
Cutting, Bending & Welding: Aluminium elements are shaped as per design.
Surface Finishing: Powder coating or anodizing for durability and appearance.
Installation
Sub-Structure: Aluminium or steel framing that holds the panels.
Panel Mounting: Fixing panels with rivets, screws, or clips.
Sealing & Waterproofing: Using silicone or gaskets to prevent leaks.
Air & Water Infiltration Testing
Thermal Performance Testing
Structural Load Testing
Advantages of Aluminium Facades:
Lightweight but strong.
Resistant to corrosion and weather.
Flexible in design (can be curved, perforated, or patterned).
Low maintenance.
