Lastly, our product’s light weight and high strength-to-weight ratio make aluminum alloys a valuable asset for ambitious construction, while the fire reaction and insulating properties help provide safety and efficiency.

Architectural Products for Fire Safety

Of utmost importance in any commercial building or residence is protection from fire. Under international regulations, only non-combustible architectural products may be used in buildings exceeding a height of approximately 20 meters. For public facilities, however, such as nurseries, schools, hospitals, hotels and airports, this requirement applies no matter the height of the structure.

Novelis aluminum construction materials are not only fire resistant, but many of our products have also achieved the highest A1 rating in accordance with non-combustibility standards DIN EN 13501, DIN 4102 and 96/603/EC.

With this rating, these Novelis products can be used on any building of any height without restriction.

A Sustainable Environmental Solution

The material of the future, aluminum is 100 percent recyclable. The recycling process requires just 5 percent of the energy needed to generate primary aluminum, without losing any of the properties or qualities of the primary product.

Novelis pre-painted aluminum is also environmentally friendly, with all paints and lubricants processed in a closed material cycle. Pigments in the paint are non-hazardous, and the aluminum is free from heavy metal erosion and is ground-water neutral.

Taking advantage of specialized products like pre-painted aluminum, anodized aluminum and our customized aluminum alloys, Novelis products deliver exceptional results in aluminum architecture for buildings and homes, inside and out.
