The lightweight installation mode effectively reduces the workload of construction personnel and avoids construction errors and safety hazards caused by physical overdraft.At the same time, the simplified installation process greatly shortens the construction cycle, assists the rapid landing of engineering projects, and comprehensively improves the cost performance of engineering construction.
High Corrosion Resistance Ensures Long-term Facade Durability
Anti-corrosion Protection Capability
After aluminum alloy profiles come into contact with air, a dense and self-repairing aluminum oxide protective film will be quickly formed, which can effectively isolate oxygen, water vapor and corrosion of various corrosive media and provide continuous protection for the profile body. Different from the characteristics of continuous rust and corrosion diffusion after steel corrosion, the natural anti-corrosion performance of aluminum alloy roller shutter profiles can eliminate deep corrosion and cross-section loss problems, and can keep the main structure intact for a long time in outdoor, humid and other conventional environments.
Multi-surface Technology Enhances Durability
For high corrosion and severe conditions, aluminum alloy roller shutter profiles can upgrade surface properties through anodization, powder coating and other processes.
