9 Benefits of aluminum sheets for curtain walls

Curtain wall decoration often uses aluminum sheets as the base material, such as 1060 aluminum sheets, 3003 aluminum sheets, 5005 aluminum sheets and 5052 aluminum sheets. 

Curtain wall aluminum sheets have huge performance advantages. Let’s explore the 9 benefits of curtain wall aluminum sheets.

Benefits of aluminum sheets for curtain walls

• 1. Thermal insulation

The above functional requirements are very common in engineering decoration, and traditional materials are difficult to meet at one time. Aluminum single-sheet curtain walls can meet the needs of sound insulation, heat insulation and thermal insulation by punching holes and adding suction cotton.

• 2. Good sound insulation effect

The sound insulation of aluminum sheet products is as high as 29-32 decibels, which is equivalent to the sound insulation effect of solid brick walls. It can be used in bedrooms, study rooms and other resting places to solve noise problems. In infrastructure projects, it is often used in airport sound insulation barriers to effectively solve the impact of traffic noise on residents.

• 3. Fire protection

Aluminum sheet curtain walls are made of metal and are one of the natural fireproof building materials. The fireproof grade of aluminum sheet is as high as A2, and the melting point is as high as 660 degrees. For many projects, such high-quality decorative building materials as aluminum sheet, no authorization for combustion performance grade identification is required, and construction can be carried out directly on site.

• 4. Moisture-proof, rust-proof and corrosion-proof

The rust resistance of aluminum sheet is much better than that of steel, especially 3003 aluminum sheet and 5052 aluminum sheet have excellent corrosion resistance. At the same time, aluminum sheet does not have the problem of easy moisture and cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction like wood sheet. In areas with high air humidity and coastal areas, the material is easy to be damp and mildewed, which is most suitable for installing aluminum sheet curtain wall ceiling, etc., greatly extending the service life.

• 5. High strength and no deformation

Aluminum curtain wall panels use high-quality high-strength rust-proof alloy aluminum sheet as the base material, and are processed by cutting, punching and carving, bending and welding. The aluminum alloy H24 state is usually used, such as 3003 H24 aluminum sheet and 5052 H24 aluminum sheet. H24 means that the aluminum sheet is semi-hard processed and then annealed in an appropriate amount to keep the material with certain strength and ductility. ‌ The aluminum sheet in this state is easy to further process, such as bending, shearing, etc., and it also has a certain stability during installation and use. ‌

• 6. Convenient and fast construction

The curtain wall aluminum sheet adopts a frame design when designing, which not only increases the strength of the sheet surface, but also facilitates the installation of corner codes at the bending frame for construction and fixing. It greatly solves the problem of cumbersome installation of other decorative materials. It does not require professional construction masters to install it. It can be installed directly on the rough wall or tiles. It can also be used for renovation of old buildings, etc., saving time and effort.

• 7. Green and environmentally friendly and recyclable

Today’s society has higher and higher requirements for green environmental protection and safety. Therefore, many places have eliminated traditional building materials, especially many owners are allergic to chemical gases such as paint and formaldehyde, and the materials cannot be recycled. Aluminum veneer is a metal building material, and environmentally friendly recycling is one of its basic characteristics, and there is no safety hazard to the owner caused by the above-mentioned harmful gases. It is truly zero formaldehyde, zero radiation, no need to disperse odor, and it can be installed and moved in, which greatly advances the move-in or business hours.

• 8. Diverse colors

Aluminum sheets can be surface colored. Common methods include anodizing, fluorocarbon spraying, and color paint. Texture transfers such as wood grain, stone grain, and blue and white porcelain can also be performed to make the board colorful and durable.

• 9. Light material

Aluminum alloy is lighter than traditional materials such as glass, stone, and steel, which means that construction is convenient and the requirements for wall keel steel frame and curtain wall load-bearing are also lower. It does not have the disadvantages of heavy traditional materials and is especially suitable for the application of high-rise building curtain walls.
