The worlds towns, cities and urban areas are growing taller in order to accommodate our growing global population. By building taller, we also need to build smarter. Building in aluminium allows not only lighter, stronger and more efficient projects, but also the ability to develop new ways of working and products to meet every challenge. Conventional aluminium façades or curtain walling is installed and manufactured ‘on-site’ using traditional installation methods. Unitised aluminium facades are comprised of panels that are manufactured and assembled ‘off-site’. These are then brought to the building location and installed on the buildings structure using cranes by workers located safely inside the building.
