Environmental Benefits of Aluminium in Building 

The basis of aluminium's claim to be the most 'environmental friendly' of materials is its energy effectiveness:
• In thermal properties; insulation in the alu-product. Aluminium prevents heat losses from a building and reducing heat loads in summer (no airco!)
• Recycling: we uses the scrap which remains from old aluminium products to remeld and re-use again
• Aesthetics: Aluminium does not rust and maintains its original aesthetic effect far longer than most materials
 

 As a manufacturer of aluminium building products, Metalscreen g.e.e.e. is comitted to use the 'green' advantages of the basic material throughout all its products.

Humidity, Hygiene, Fire, Environments

 HUMIDITY

Because of aluminium composition METALSCREEN ceilings are valid also in humid environments. METALSCREEN range is suitable for installation in high relative humidity condition, for example quick realization buildings, often alternation of hot and cold buildings, buildings with a great concentration of people, etc.

HYGIENE

•STERILE ENVIRONMENTS

METALSCREEN aluminium ceilings are suitable for environments where high hygiene an sterility properties ae required, such operating rooms, pharmaceutics industries, laboratories etc.

•ELECTRONIC AND DATA PROCESSING INDUSTRIES

METALSCREEN aluminium ceilings with smooth surface are suitable where it is necessary to protect technical apparatus from dust and dirty.

•ALIMENTARY ENVIRONMENTS

METALSCREEN aluminium ceilings riles are suitable for environments where high hygiene conditions are required, such as kitchen, alimentary industries, specific shops like butcheries and fish shops etc., because of their mould and bacterium resistance and their washable surface.

 

FIRE BEHAVIOUR

"Fire reaction" is the fire grade performance of a material. That's why, material have been classified in different class from 0 (for example marbles, iron) to (for example wood) according to their attendance to burning. All metal ceiling (aluminium and steel) are class "0" (incombustible) as per D.M. 14.1.1985.

Metalscreen pre-painted aluminium for inside and outside applications of suspended ceilings

Suspended aluminium ceiling elements of METALSCREEN pre-painted aluminium are an established feature of modern interior architecture for many reasons, e.g. for their representative attractive appearance, thermal and sound insulation, integration into ventilation or lighting systems. Aluminium suspended ceilings can be found in offices and salesrooms, administrative buildings and covered walls as well as in exhibition halls, airports, service stations or swimming baths. METALSCREEN work on pre-painted coils suitable for manufacturing of e.g. ceiling panels, grid ceilings, long panel cassettes, lamp grid elements, capping (aluminium-covered support rails) and substructure rails or partitions. Smooth or perforated ceiling elements are mounted on substructure. The METALSCREEN ceilings are installed in closed rooms and also be installed in "wet rooms" such as indoor swimming pools if suitable air conditioning prevents persistent condensation.

The history of aluminium

 In 1807, the Englishman Davy discovered aluminium. At Les Baux in 1821, the Frenchman Berthier came across bauxite ore, the raw material for industrial aluminium production.

Pure aluminium particles were isolated for the first time in 1845 by the Göttingen Professor Friedrich Woehler. He was able to determine its main properties such as density, conductivity, corrosion resistance, etc.

It was only in 1886 - when Hall / Héroult received a patent for the electrolysis - that aluminium could be produced in larger quantities leading to lower aluminium prices. Research was thus able to improve the properties of aluminium, e.g. by using alloys.

In just 100 years, aluminium has developed from an expensive luxury into a versatile and widely used metal. Aluminium`s attractiveness is reflected by its increasing global demand. Consumption has more than doubled since 1970. In the future a significant increase is anticipated.

Bauxite: The raw material for aluminium production for centuries

• Third most common element of the earth's crust
• "Alum", aluminium was used for medicines and vegetable dyes as early as 2000 BC
• Pure aluminium particles "as big pinheads" were isolated for the first time by the Goettingen

Towards a sustainable future environment


Today, the pressure for sustainable development has increased in priority around the globe. Enviromental and ecological factors will, in future, have an equal priority in influencing new products and process development. Also Metalscreen g.e.e.e., as manufacturer of building products, has enviromnetal factors to consider, such as materials, production methods, life cycle waste management and energy balances and life-cycles.

Green issues for Metalscreen g.e.e.e. aluminium products in building

Aluminium and its alloys have many advantages for building designers and users. For many reasons aluminium is an obvious choice:
• Its built-in corrosion resistance. It can stand (as our exterior ceilings and facade), unprotected, in the open, subject to the elements
• Aluminium has excellent formability. It can be rolled, rolformed (panels, grids), extruded, bent, pressed (tiles) in different ways and shaped into any design without negative side effects.
• Aluminium can be surface treated in many attractive finishes including painting (panels, grids), anodising and powder coating (tiles).

Why using "open cell" ceiling in all public areas

FIRE:	Open cell ceiling allows heat and smoke to rise in a fire, therefore existing venting may e retained and as well the extra void accepting the smoke allows valuable minutes for people to evacuate the building.
MATERIAL:	Our open cell ceiling are manufactured from non-combustible material, which does not give off toxic smoke.
VENTILATION:	Open cell ceiling is increasing the area by using the space above and under the ceiling heat Build-up from lights, workingfloor etc. rapidly dissipates to above ceiling space through the open cells preventing undue heat.
SECURITY:	Security checks can be carried out easy through the ceiling as required, which is a must now and for the future.
VISUAL:	Open cell ceiling offers an interesting and distinctive three dimensional ceiling with shape, colour and lighting.
NOISE:	Where lot a people are coming together normally it's very noisy and unpleasent. Open cell ceiling is absorbing this to a normal level.

This panel cm.60x60 for concealed ceilings system manufactured from competitor company, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS and not warrant the safety health of peoples under the false ceilings covered area. 
The WRONG panel mean the HIGHEST RISK OF FALL DOWN due static stress, when it will be demounted or moved for inspections and maintenances.
This panel NOT ensure any kind of resistance at seismic hearthquakes events coud be happen.

The CHEAP panel has 2 sides plain very low resistance, without any kind of renforces not satisfy right well accepted planarity of the ceilings system when installed.
