Frequently asked questions

Understanding the unique properties and applications of duralumin helps clients make informed decisions about their projects. Here are answers to common questions about our duralumin works.

What exactly is duralumin and how does it differ from standard aluminum?

Duralumin is a hardened aluminum alloy containing copper, manganese, and magnesium. Unlike standard aluminum, duralumin undergoes heat treatment to significantly increase its strength—often reaching tensile strengths comparable to some steels while maintaining aluminum’s lightweight properties. This makes it ideal for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratios and durability.

What types of architectural elements can be created with duralumin?

Duralumin is exceptionally versatile and can be used for structural frameworks, decorative panels, custom fixtures, specialized door and window systems, sunshades, canopies, and signature architectural features. Its workability allows for both straight-line precision and complex curved forms, opening up numerous design possibilities.

How does the cost of duralumin compare to other architectural materials?

While duralumin typically has a higher material cost than standard aluminum or steel, its superior properties often result in lower overall project costs. The material’s strength allows for lighter structural elements, reducing foundation requirements. Its durability minimizes maintenance and replacement costs, and its precision fabrication can simplify installation. When evaluating lifetime cost, duralumin frequently offers excellent value for demanding applications.
