Aluminum is the Choice for the Environment
American Structures & Design is committed to product quality and environmental practices. We are proud to have made the integration of renewably-crafted aluminum products vital to our business.
The metal of the future, aluminum is one of the most plentiful elements on earth, making up approximately 8% of the earth’s crust. It is the second most commonly used metal in the world, next to steel. Aluminum yields strong, reliable building materials known for lifelong durability. This green building product is highly recyclable and easily reclaimed, allowing for its continued use.
Aluminum has a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for building projects: Lightweight, high strength, excellent malleability, easy fabrication, and superior corrosion resistance.
Aluminum is very often and very easily recycled, making our goal of green building products for the future a little bit easier. AS&D recycles all post-fabrication scrap aluminum.
