Which is the better metal, aluminium or iron?

Colored aluminum coils and colored steel coils are widely used as raw materials for construction. However, there are still great differences in performance and application conditions between the two. It is necessary to select the best material according to the application environment and application building.

The Competitive advantage of Colored Aluminum Coil

Cost advantage

Colored aluminum is lightweight, with the density one-third of that of color steel. Under the same weight, the square of color aluminum is about three times that of color steel. When calculated for the price per square meter, the price of color aluminum is almost the same as that of color steel.

Low maintenance

Colored aluminum has excellent corrosion and weather resistance, as well as self-cleaning ability, which is not easy to rust and requires almost no maintenance costs. The essence of color steel is that iron is prone to rust, difficult to maintain, and has high costs

Long service life

The service life of colored aluminum is 30years and the service life of colored steel is 10 years.The service life of colored aluminum is three times that of colored steel, and it only requires one cost expenditure to maintain durability for 30 years

High recycling value

Aluminum is 100% recyclable, and the recycling value is more than 80% of the original cost.The recycling value of corroded steel is extremely low and has almost no secondary use value.
