Features and Benefits
Recyclability. Versatility. Integrity. The beauty of extruded aluminum products runs deep. In addition to its high value in end-use applications, aluminum extrusion is an efficient metal-forming process that offers a multitude of features and benefits: design versatility, cost savings, structural integrity, and quality control. Additionally, its inherently eco-friendly characteristics make it the green building industry's material of choice given its recyclability and energy efficiencies.

Market Sectors
The inherent adaptability of aluminum extrusion opens itself to countless applications that span all market sectors: building and construction, transportation, and engineered products.

Aluminum Extrusion Showcase
The Aluminum Extrusion Showcase is a graphically rich electronic news-magazine series. Each issue features a highly visible application that details the project with quotes, explanations, photographs, and sidebar stories to reveal the behind-the-scene perspective.

Keep Aluminum Windows (KAW)
Of particular concern to AEC is the Keep Aluminum Windows campaign, an advocacy program designed to ensure a prominent role for extruded aluminum fenestration products in residential, as well as commercial, buildings.
