How does Aluminum change architecture
In the early 1920s, due to the innovation of production technology, aluminum began to enter the world of construction. The earliest example of aluminum being widely used in construction comes from the Empire State Building in New York. This landmark was completed in 1931, and until 1970, the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world, and the basic structure and components of the entire building were made of aluminum.

Because aluminum is very light, corrosion-resistant, and highly malleable, in the mid-20th century, there were many experimental buildings related to aluminum, Two examples are the Aluminaire House, the first all-metal House in the United States, and the Dymaxion House, a classic of prefabricated architecture.

Glass and aluminum frames become "golden partners"
The emergence of glass buildings has quickly made aluminum frames a "golden partner" of glass, which can also maximize the introduction of natural light into the building while supporting the glass.
Green building revolution, more environmentally friendly aluminum profiles
With the emergence of green buildings, the excellent environmental protection of aluminum profiles has become increasingly prominent: high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance; Effectively reduce energy consumption; Aluminum can be recycled.
