Aluminium extrusions are very versatile, lightweight (about one third the weight of steel), high strength, modern products that will retain their properties for many years, even decades. Being naturally corrosion-resistant and requiring only minimal routine maintance, they also retain their aesthetic appeal over the lifetime of the material. 

At the end of their life cycle, aluminium products can be recycled again and again without any loss of quality. Additionally the re-melting of aluminium requires little energy, 95% of the energy required for primary aluminium production is saved through recycling.
