Application and Advantages of Colored Aluminum

Color steel is generally used for outdoor roofs or walls, while color aluminum can be used for outdoor roofs or walls, as well as for doors and windows. Colored aluminum refers to the coloring treatment of the surface of aluminum alloy. Due to the stable performance of aluminum alloy and its resistance to corrosion, the surface can be guaranteed to not fade for at least 30 years after special treatment. Moreover, due to its low density and high hardness, the weight per unit volume is the lightest among metal materials.

Color aluminum is a new type of building material that has recently emerged in the field of doors and windows. Compared with color steel, its biggest advantage is its higher durability, diverse colors, and more environmentally friendly compared to plastic steel. Therefore, it is widely used in high-end properties such as doors and windows, sunrooms, and balcony packaging.

So, colored aluminum sheet, especially aluminum magnesium manganese alloy sheet (a type of colored aluminum sheet), is a high-quality roofing material that is increasingly receiving market attention. It is gradually replacing color steel tiles and becoming one of the main players in the market with lightning speed.

Why do customers choose aluminum magnesium manganese alloy plates one after another? The reason lies in its incomparable “three major advantages”:

1、 The overall cost is lower than that of color steel tiles. The density of aluminum magnesium manganese alloy plate is 2.73g/cm3, which is one-third of that of color steel. Under the same weight and thickness, the square of colored aluminum is three times that of colored steel. For example, if you buy one ton of aluminum magnesium manganese alloy plate, the square can be three times more than that of color steel.

2、 Aluminum magnesium manganese alloy plate comes with anti-corrosion performance. Except for special colored steel, ordinary colored steel tiles will corrode after being used for 3-5 years. In severe cases, extensive replacement is necessary, and the cost naturally increases due to the twists and turns. Assuming that the aluminum magnesium manganese alloy plate is replaced, the service life can reach 50 years without being artificially damaged. Especially in areas with heavy acid rain and fast corrosion rates, using colored aluminum tiles has become a major trend.

3、High recycling value. After the color steel is corroded, it can only be recycled and sold for a few cents per kilogram. Color aluminum is basically between 8.5% and 9.5% of the original cost, and its recycling value is significantly higher than that of color steel tiles.
