Alumasc thermally efficient Facades and Roofing systems minimise a buildings' energy requirement, and their installation can help extend the life of existing buildings.
Recycling and Renewability
Aluminium and cast iron - used extensively in Alumasc Rainwater and Drainage systems are both 100% recycleable in that the recycled material suffers no loss of properties, and the aluminium recycling process uses only about 5% of the energy required during primary production.
Cork insulation and mineral render aggregates are amongst the Alumasc range of natural renewable material options for specific product applications.
Investing in the future
Alumasc invested in the future in 2006 with a new 'state of the art' production plant, offering customers greatly improved lead times, flexibility and consistently high quality Rainwater and Drainage products.
