In contemporary architecture, fenestration plays a fundamental role in defining buildings’ aesthetic and functional aspects. The choice of materials used in fenestration—comprising windows, doors, and other openings— significantly influences the overall design, sustainability, and performance of a structure. Among these materials, metal is a superior choice, especially when utilized in metal composite panels (MCPs).
VERSATILITY & CUSTOMISATION WITH METAL COMPOSITE PANELS
One of the foremost advantages of using metal in fenestration is the unparalleled versatility it offers. Metal composite panels, particularly those made from aluminium, zinc, and copper can be customised to meet specific project requirements. Aludecor’s range of MCPs, available in various sizes and a variety of shades and textures, allows architects to push the boundaries of design. This flexibility is crucial in creating parametric architecture, where unique shapes and forms are crafted to achieve an avant-garde aesthetic.
Aluminium doors & windows are favoured in modern architecture for their durability, sustainability, and aesthetics, especially in extreme climates, offering long-lasting, non-corrosive, and eco-friendly solutions. Their moisture resistance prevents rainwater seepage, and they won’t crack, warp, or rust, ensuring longevity and reliability.
ENHANCING AESTHETIC AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES
Metal facades do more than just provide a sleek and modern look; they enhance the structural integrity of the building. The use of different types of cores like aluminium honeycomb cores of various cell sizes and thicknesses allows superior durability, enhancing strength without adding extra weight, resistance to environmental elements, and longevity. Talking particularly about zinc, it can outlive you in terms of longevity without tampering with the aesthetics while also being almost 100% recyclable. That being said, these metals not only withstand harsh weather conditions but also maintain their appearance and performance over time.
SUSTAINABILITY & SAFETY
In today’s eco-conscious world, sustainability is a key consideration in architectural design. Aludecor’s metal composite panels are designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating a minimum of 30% recycled metal. This eco-friendly approach not only reduces the environmental impact of construction but also helps projects earn valuable green points, contributing to certifications like LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), GRIHA etc.0
Moreover, metal composite panels offer superior safety features. They provide excellent fire resistance, an essential attribute for any building material used in fenestration.
PARAMETRIC ARCHITECTURE & METAL CLADDING
The concept of parametric architecture, driven by sophisticated algorithms to craft intricate and dynamic structures, finds its perfect companion in metal cladding. Metals, with their remarkable ability to be shaped into virtually any form, empower architects to push the boundaries of creativity, producing designs that are not only functional but also visually captivating. Aludecor’s metal composite panels (MCPs) elevate this potential, enabling architects to bring their most ambitious and imaginative visions to life, turning everyday buildings into stunning architectural masterpieces.
The importance of metal in fenestration cannot be overstated. From enhancing structural properties and offering design versatility to promoting sustainability and safety, metal composite panels are indispensable in modern architecture. Aludecor’s extensive range of MCPs empowers architects to create innovative, sustainable, and visually stunning buildings.
