There is no reason why both materials cannot be used in conjunction with one another. Particularly in locations where the strength and durability of steel facade panels are required, as well as the lightness of aluminium facade cladding. These two together provide the architect with the most cost-effective structural solution. Passing through any of India's well-kept cities, we can see how dramatically the direction of styles in building facades has shifted in the last century. While cladding can be found in a wide range of buildings, from local government buildings to airports, hotels, and co

WHAT TO CHOOSE BETWEEN STEEL AND ALUMINIUM FACADES
1 4 Designers & builders most commonly use steel large curtain walls at the main entrance, where lots of light should come in. Because of the material's mechanical yield, significant glazing portions with wide spans & heights of up to 15m can be designed. 2 5 Steel's mechanical yield enables the required glazing portions to be designed with a wide span and height. Steel cladding protects the architecture from adverse weather. Temperature, wind, water absorption, sunlight, & pollution. 3 Steel is a very ductile material, making it simple to weld on-site. STEEL FACADES
1 4 Aluminum is used in areas where energy efficiency is critical. Aluminum is useful because of its light weight. This material is also corrosion resistant unless the environment is highly acidic, in which case it can corrode at a potentially catastrophic rate. 2 Aluminum can be brushed and polished to achieve a pleasing surface and a glossy appearance. For skyscrapers, aluminium is considered light solution. The use of lightweight aluminium honeycomb panels keeps the building's dead load low. 5 3 Aluminium is a very good heat conductor, so often constructors use it to dissipate heat. ALUMINIUM FACADES
