Novelis ColorisTM weather-resistant coated aluminum is an ideal building and construction material for facades and roofing due to its light weight, corrosion resistance and low maintenance.
The material is available in a variety of colors that can work in a range of architectural applications. These colors last significantly longer than other competing materials, including concrete.
Architectural Advantages
From dazzling public structures to practical residential buildings, aluminum has been a material of choice for spaces for more than a century. Demand for pre-painted aluminum panels continues to increase, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also due to aluminum’s longevity and sustainability. This helps preserve the building, as well as the environment.
Aluminum offers many design possibilities, in addition to its long life and low operating costs throughout the use of a building. With its resistance to weather, UV light and corrosion, aluminum meets all the demanding requirements that proprietors, architects and designers and builders look for when wanting to make their mark.
Made of a high-strength aluminum alloy, Coloris allows architects, builders and panel and roof manufacturers to achieve the same performance using less material per panel for aluminum facades and aluminum roofing panels. With a wider span possible than traditional AlMg1 alloys, there is a one-third weight reduction per unit surface area.
This added strength saves money by saving material, yet even under high-stress situations – a high rise with extreme wind loads – all involved in the construction can be confident when choosing Coloris weather-resistant coated aluminum.
