Aluminum, as a raw material, meets the challenges of modern construction with its excellent properties. Growing demands for energy efficiency, reduced CO₂ footprint, and durable materials make aluminum one of today’s most sought-after raw materials – especially in construction and industrial manufacturing.
Its technical characteristics align perfectly with sustainable building trends as well as the stricter regulatory frameworks introduced by the EU.
Advantages of aluminum – lightweight, strong, recyclable, durable
Known as the metal that never dies, aluminum is lightweight, easy to work with compared to other metals, resistant to various environmental influences, and for years, thanks to its excellent properties, has been revolutionizing the construction industry.
- Lightweight – three times lighter than steel, enabling easier handling, transport, and installation.
- Durable – highly resistant to moisture, corrosion, and weather conditions.
- Recyclable – can be recycled unlimited times without losing its properties.
- Long-lasting – retains functionality and aesthetics for decades.
Thanks to these properties, aluminum is increasingly used in architecture, industry, transportation, and energy sectors.
Where is aluminum used in practice?
Construction
- Windows, doors, facades
- Aluminum and glass railings
- Roofing and ventilation systems
Industry
- Structural components
- Machinery and tooling systems
- Specialized profiles for various applications
Transport and mobility
- Cars, trains, bicycles, ships, airplanes
- Structural components and bodywork
Energy
- Solar panel structures
- Supporting systems for photovoltaic panels
- Electric vehicles and energy storage systems
Sustainability: Aluminum is a circular material
Producing recycled aluminum requires only 5 % of the energy needed to produce it from bauxite. This drastically reduces CO₂ emissions, while the aluminum retains its quality and performance after recycling.
Emerus: Added value in every profile
- 100 % renewable energy in production (35 % from our own solar power plant)
- Use of recycled raw materials
- Optimized processes for maximum energy efficiency
- Verified impact through an EPD declaration
How aluminum helps meet European standards?
Using aluminum in projects makes it easier to comply with the following requirements:
- ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, Governance)
- LEED / BREEAM / DGNB certifications
- EU CBAM regulation (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism)
- EPD declarations – transparency of environmental impact
Emerus aluminum profiles are ideal for anyone planning green buildings, low-energy projects, and the infrastructure investments of the future.
Aluminum is the future, and Emerus is already there
Aluminum is much more than a metal; it is a solution to the environmental, technical, and functional challenges posed by modern industry and construction.
As a manufacturer applying the highest standards in recycling, energy efficiency, and quality, Emerus enables its partners to build, produce, and innovate – in a smart and sustainable way.
Did you know?
As much as 75 % of the aluminum produced in the last 100 years is still in use today. This means that the aluminum frame of your window today may once have been part of an airplane, bicycle, or facade.
