Building

Coated aluminium is playing an important role in various applications in the building industry, such as:
• Roofing
• Panels
• Roller Shutters
• False Ceilings
Its main properties, easy workability and lightness as well as its high resistance to corrosion, make coated aluminium particularly suitable for such applications.

Roofing:
Coated aluminium, plain and embossed, is extensively used for roofing not only for its pleasing appearance, but also for its thermal and acoustic insulation properties achieved by laminating with bituminous foam products.


Roller shutters :
Coated aluminium is progressively replacing traditional materials such as wood and plastic. Aluminium is prefered to wood for its lower production and maintenance costs, while it is preferred to plastic for its higher mechanical strength, its greater stability and, once again, its aesthetic appeal.


False ceilings :
Coated aluminium has soon proved to be an ideal material for this end use. Its ease of application and movability of the panels, again combined with its attractive appearance are among the main reasons for its ready acceptance. There is a variety of products types using either plain or embossed aluminium, with either bright or matt colour, painted finishes, which will meet all the creative needs of designers.

Panels:
The Honey-Comb light panels are used for fixed (building industry) as well as for mobile applications in transport means (aereonautic, naval and motor vehicle fields).
Further to its lightness and aesthetics feature, the peculiarity of Honey-Comb is no doubt its resistance to compression.

Italcoat produces already preadhesivized aluminium coils to get Honey-Comb with different goemetries which enable remarkably higher productivity against the traditional processing. With such a semi-finished product our customers can shorten their production cycle restricting it to cutting of sheets, pressing (at 180 and 210°C temperature), cutting of packets and extension of cells. It has been proved that by using these pre-adhesivized coils, the productivity has been sensitively improved (up to 95% of faultless extended cells).

Italcoat can make special treatments on the flat rolled aluminium for products destined to nautic industry as well as to highly polluted places. It is a rolled aluminium pre-adhesivized after a special precoating application.
