The American Architectural Manufacturers Association鈥檚 Aluminum Material Council has developed a聽new web page聽and infographic, providing information about the strength, recyclability and versatility of aluminum, as well as its costs.

鈥淎luminum's inherent strength, recyclability and versatility combined with the extrusion process make aluminum a popular (and economical) material for the building and construction industry,鈥 said Josh Wignall (), Chair of the AAMA AMC Marketing Committee, which led efforts to develop the web page.

鈥淭he project began as part of a strategic effort to reach target audiences within the aluminum fenestration market. The impact of recent tariffs and how they impact the cost of aluminum (even when purchased in the U.S.) drove members to create information for these audiences,鈥 Wignall continued.

Sections of the web page break down aluminum鈥檚 strength, including the asset of its strength-to-weight ratio, reduced shipping and installation costs, its design flexibility and the material鈥檚 economic tooling costs and quick lead time. The web page also discusses aluminum鈥檚 recyclability and, in turn, its sustainability. Finally, the web page includes a section about how versatile the material is, having long made it a preferred material in many construction projects.

infographic A new infographic developed by the council shows how aluminum pricing works, taking into account commodity markets, transaction premiums and material conversion. These multiple points within the aluminum pricing structure are affected by tariffs, both within the U.S. and beyond, as noted in the infographic.
