Aluminum: The final product has properties such as low weight combined with high tensile strength, corrosion resistance and high-quality surface finish. Aluminum is highly recyclable.
Profiles: The die cost is very reasonable. Technical limitations are few. The possibilities are nearly endless. Several functions can be integrated in the profile, making it easier to process and simpler to assemble.
