Architectural Aluminium from Simmal
Aluminium is a vital component in modern construction and architectural projects. Giving increased limitations, aluminium allows for more progressive architecture, as well as giving increased energy efficiency to buildings. This factor is becoming increasingly important.
The first major use of aluminium was within the Empire State Building in New York, and has been used ever since across a variety of styles and building functions. With the complexities and sizes of sections available continually increasing, we can help you get the pieces you need. With larger sections comes reduced costs and increased efficiency – both for the final structure and the construction phase.
Aluminium usage in construction allows for a wider variety of architectural designs. Coupled with more advanced methods with other materials, buildings can incorporate better designs and features than ever before.
In addition to the added strength and durability of aluminium buildings, using this metal also provides environmental benefits. Aluminium reflects infrared rays, which can be used to increase heating efficiency. It is also widely recognised as being a key component in adherence to various green building certifications.

ALUMINIUM USES IN
THE ARCHITECTURAL INDUSTRY
The architectural industry relies on aluminium for its exceptional blend of strength, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. This lightweight yet durable material is a cornerstone of modern construction, enabling innovative designs while minimising structural loads. Architects and builders frequently use aluminium in curtain walls, window frames, roofing systems, cladding, and decorative panels, combining functionality with a sleek, contemporary finish.
One of aluminium’s key advantages is its corrosion resistance, which ensures the longevity of structures in outdoor environments, even when exposed to harsh weather conditions. Its ability to withstand wear and tear with minimal maintenance makes it a cost-effective choice for large-scale projects.
Additionally, aluminium offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation when integrated with advanced glazing systems, improving energy efficiency and interior comfort. Its recyclability also aligns with sustainable building practices, solidifying aluminium as an essential material in creating durable, energy-efficient, and visually striking architectural designs.
