Advantages of Aluminium Strip Ceilings

Aluminium strip ceilings have long been a fashion in interior decoration of meeting halls, offices, hotels and even homes. With various colors and designs, they add flavor to grand or plain surroundings, creating solemn or light atmosphere as expected. Nothing prospers for no reason. What makes aluminium strip ceilings so popular?

Aluminium strip ceilings have won popularity because of their overwhelming advantages over other materials, which include light weight, long service life, flexible decorative effect, adaptable installation and low cost. As known to all, the density of aluminum is only 2.7, less than one third of copper and about one third of iron. Copper and iron serve as top two metals that are most widely applied in manufacturing industry. In comparison with aluminum, heavier weight is a deadly weakness of both. Therefore, it’s not surprising for them to be replaced by aluminum in various applications, among which are aluminium strip ceilings. As suspended items, lighter ceilings are safer. However, some people have doubts about service life of aluminum ceilings, especially when they are compared to steel ceilings. Practice has shown that well-treated aluminum sheets have similar hardness and corrosion resistance to steel sheets. They are water-proof and fire-proof, needing little maintenance under normal state. Even though they are not so strong as steel, hardness is not the first requirement about ceilings which serve as decorative rather than supporting parts of a building. As decorative parts aluminium strip ceilings help interior designers to realize flexible decorative effect. Sizes, colors and grains can be customized in accordance with specific requirements. The aluminum strips are adaptable to cutting, suspension and installation to avoid influence on lighting or ventilating systems. Last but not least, aluminum ceilings costs less than steel ones. Relative manufacturing process has developed so mature that common people can afford to have an aluminum ceiling at low cost.

What kind of machine is used to make aluminum sheets into 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip belts? Many people might think about a shearing device, but they are actually dealt with by a continuous slitting unit of a similar working principle to that of a shearing device. The difference lies in the point that there is no pause of shearing with a continuous slitting unit. Generally, the mother roll, namely, an  aluminum coil  to be slit, is placed. During the slitting process, the coil roll is divided into several belts which are further rolled into narrow aluminium strip rolls. The slitting method of both  1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip  or other aluminum strips can be divided into two types: a straight pull type and a loose sleeve type. The straight pull type refers to the method that aluminum strip rolls are kept in tension from being fed into the unwinding sail to being coiled by the coiling machine, and this production method is suitable for trimming and intermediate slitting. The loop

The  diamond embossed aluminum sheet  refers to aluminium sheets with diamond patterns on the surface. In addition to 1000 series, 5005 and 3003 are frequently applied alloys as well. 5005  diamond embossed aluminum sheet s can be used for conductivity materials, cookware, instrument panels, electronic shells and building ornaments. Their anodized film proves to be brighter than that of 3003, and the color matches perfectly with that of 6063 aluminum alloy products. Generally speaking,  diamond aluminum checker plate s are sold by the unit of pieces. In international business the unit of metric ton is frequently used as well. Their thickness ranges from 1.7mm to 8mm, but those between 2mm and 7.75mm prove to be the most popular. The width is from 1010 to 1500, among which 1250 and 1500 are most frequently adopted. Embossed aluminum sheet s with different patterns usually match varied application scope. Five-bar and one-bar sheets are mostly used for anti-skid purposes as tread pla

If you have ever used an escalator you might have noticed that there are partition panels respectively at the bottom and top of the escalator. These partitions are usually paved with  embossed aluminium sheet  coil that have a good pressure bearing capacity and are made of composite metals. As a matter of fact, there are various patterns and applications of embossed aluminium coil, and here we will give a simple introduction. 　　Patterns 　　Aluminum sheets with patterns on the surface is called embossed aluminum sheets or  aluminium tread plate . Pattern shapes include lentils, diamonds, round beans, and oblate mixed shapes. The market is most common in lentils. 　　Application 　　The aluminium tread plate has beautiful appearance, excellent anti-slip property, enhanced performances, and material-saving advantage in production. It is widely used in transportation, construction, decoration, equipment, floor, machinery, shipbuilding and other fields. Generally speaking, clients requi
