Why aluminium?

Choosing aluminium means looking to the future, without forgetting the past


Vestis is made with an aluminium alloy which offers many benefits if compared to the metals used so far.

Alloy 3005, which is rich in manganese, increases aluminium workability and reduces its sensitivity to corrosion.

Its physical state “H41” is a good compromise between workability and surface tension.

Vestis aluminium - Why aluminium?

Workability

The material is easy to work thanks to its resistance to deformation. A comparison of its tensile strength may be of interest?

1° Aluminium 155 N/mm2
2° Titanium zinc 190 N/mm2
3° Steel 385 N/mm2
4° Copper 390 N/mm2

Vestis aluminium - Workability

No rust

Whether white (zinc) or red (iron), rust is a risk which must not be underestimated.

As Vestis will never give way to rust, the cladding can be implemented without considering the effects of surface condensate on the roof.

Hot roofs, small slopes and visible cutting are no longer a problem!

High temperatures

Work in summer may be very hard for installers. Very hot metal sheets are not nice to touch.

Specific heat capacity:

1° Vestis - 896 J/Kg/K/b>
2° Iron - 450 J/Kg/K
3° Titanium zinc - 398 J/Kg/K
4° Copper - 385 J/Kg/K

Aluminium requires twice as much energy to heat as iron ... and it is far less likely to reach hot burning temperatures.

Low temperatures

Winter too may be an obstacle to work with some metals. A simple bend may cause breakage.

Aluminium can be folded up to 0° without risking breakage or cracking.

Weight

Any clue about how hard it is to lift material to a height and handle it? It requires a great effort. The lighter the product, the happier the installer. Which is the lightest metal?

1° Aluminium (1.89 kg/sqm)
2° Iron (4.00 kg/s.m)
3° Titanium zinc (5.00 kg/sqm)
4° Copper (5.35 kg/sqm)

Aluminium requires twice as much energy to heat as iron ... and it is far less likely to reach hot burning temperatures.

Research

We should be thankful to science for the ever more performing paints and more beautiful colours.
Three special recipes characterise Vestis paints:

K2 – smooth, high elasticity paint that is resistant to scratching

3D – rough paint offering a special textured effect, without giving up performances

MATT – a kind of magic as it is a matt and also elastic paint. Architecture is thankful.

Protection

Paint is not only a dye: it is a protective element for aluminium.
This is why Vestis is coated on both sides: to provide a double shield.

Side A has a 35 μm thick coating

Side B has min. 20 μm thick coating

No other products can aspire to that much!

The Sun

The sun is considered the worst enemy of paints. It consumes and vulcanize them and it modifies their pigments. It doesn’t happen with Vestis!

It doesn't pulverise

It is not subject to colour changes

Of course, Vestis too can be affected by the energy of the sun, but in an imperceptible way.
