The Advantages of the Parallel Aluminum Woodgrain Architectural Products
The benefits of Parallel Aluminum Woodgrain Architectural products are getting the attention of the Commercial and Residential construction industries. Builders, designers, and homeowners are realizing the advantages of Parallel over other wood-look aluminum products.
Light Weight
Aluminum is a lightweight building material that has a density one third that of steel and weighs 50% less than wood. Since Parallel is lightweight, it has low transport costs and ensures easy installation and handling. Additionally, Parallel is strong and maintains the structural integrity in a variety of environments and conditions.
Non-Warping
Parallel is not only lighter and stronger but it’s straighter than wood. Every extrusion is true to form in lengths of up to Imperial 6.5m. Parallel is a perfectly crafted marine material that’s easy to install and won’t warp over time.
Color Stability
All Parallel colors have been thoroughly tested to tolerate the most extreme environments. The Parallel paint technology and sublimation process delivers a robust, baked-on paint finish that defies peeling, chipping, and cracking. With proper maintenance, Parallel colors stand the test of time.
Eco Friendly
Building with sustainable architectural materials is becoming more important to Architects, Owners, and Contractors. ParallelAP has a small environmental footprint since it’s made of 100% recyclable aluminum, uses VOC free coatings, and has lead-free finishes.
Slip Resistant
Parallel decking is a great product to use around swimming pools and wet areas since it is rated as Y Class or R10 under Australian standard 4586-2004. It is recommended that Parallel’s optional no-slip powder coating or add a third-party anti-slip coating that can be purchased at any reputable hardware store.
Non-Combustible
Fire resistance and resilience is important for all structures. Parallel’s noncombustible benefit surpasses that of wood. Parallel has been manufactured to meet applicable international fire standards.
Corrosion Resistance
Parallel is made from high quality marine grade Aluminum which gives it an organic layer of corrosion protection; it is also self-repairing if damaged. A natural anodizing process improves Parallel’s resilience to corrosion in harsh environments.
Stain and Scratch Resistant
Parallel’s finish is what makes it the leading hard-wearing wood-like products in the industry. A specially developed topcoat of exterior grade paint is baked on to give ParallelAP its resistance to chipping, flaking, and blistering. Additionally, a specialized sublimation process penetrates the entire thickness of the powder coating ensuring a long flawless appearance. To guarantee maximum life and appearance of a Parallel product, check out the Care and Maintenance information.
DIssipates Heat
Aluminum remains cooler than most other materials which makes Parallel great for outdoor applications – even in direct sunlight. Parallel naturally absorbs heat slowly but releases it quickly. All applications using Parallel (e.g. deck or handrail) will stay cool to the touch in the heat of day.
Insect Proof
Aluminum is unaffected by insects, including ants and termites. When compared to wood, Parallel Aluminum doesn’t need chemical treatments to protect its beautiful wood-look finish from pests.
Freeze & Frost Resistant
Aluminum doesn’t become brittle at low temperatures like most steel grades – its strength increases. ParallelAP doesn’t absorb water or moisture, won’t warp, and expand when exposed to extremely cold conditions.
Nonporous
Parallel will not swell, grow mold or mildew in wet environments. Parallel is easy to maintain without regular sealing since it doesn’t retain water. ParallelAP is a more practical building material than wood.
