- Weathering: Aluminium is very resistant to corrosion. Corrosion does not affect aluminium due to it's protective oxide coating. Unlike copper, weather conditions don't influence aluminium.
- Hidden fixings: Secret Fixing allows for an attractive contemporary finish.
- Suitability: Aluminium is infinitely recyclable with no loss of quality. More than 55% of the world's primary aluminium is produced using hydroelectric power (no CO2 emissions and renewable).
