We can see how dramatically the direction of styles in building facades has shifted in the last century by passing through any of India's well-kept cities. While cladding can be found in a variety of structures, including local government buildings, airports, hotels, and concert halls. It should be noted that the most commonly used materials for facades in modern architecture are steel and aluminium. It should be noted, however, that each metal has its own advantages and only excels when properly chosen. Here's how to choose which one to use and when!

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