Product catalog summary
Introduction to Aluminium in Architecture
Aluminium, a relatively new metal with commercial applications starting in the 1950s, is significant in construction due to its properties that contribute to sustainable, safe, and comfortable buildings.
Key Properties of Aluminium
  • Design Flexibility: Aluminium can be transformed through various processes, offering multiple design possibilities.
  • Environmental Safety: As the third most common element in the earth's crust, aluminium is environmentally safe.
  • Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Its low weight combined with inherent strength and rigidity facilitates handling and installation.
Falkit® System Overview
The Falkit® system is an aluminium-based cladding solution known for easy assembly and versatility, suitable for ventilated facades, canopies, interior linings, and decorative panels.
Characteristics of the Falkit® System
  • Ventilated Facade: Provides natural ventilation and vapor permeability, preventing condensation and allowing for energy savings.
  • Fire Resistance: Aluminium and its alloys have an A Reaction to Fire classification, making them non-contributory to fire.
  • Easy Installation: The system's modularity and low weight allow for quick transport and installation, reducing overall costs.
  • Renovation Potential: Ideal for renovations due to its low weight and ability to improve thermal performance.
  • Long Service Life: Requires minimal maintenance and offers excellent corrosion resistance.
  • Recyclability: Aluminium is 100% recyclable, with low energy consumption during recycling, supporting the Cradle to Cradle concept.
