Lanka Aluminium Industries PLC recently opened a Concept Centre in
Colombo, 3, to offer an opportunity to customers, architects and
consultants to obtain experience and knowledge on innovative and latest
aluminium extrusions.
"The drawback in the marketing of aluminium door and window systems
is that the house builder - when shown individual pieces of aluminium -
is unable to visualise what the finished product looks like.
Hence, they are dependent on fabricators and designers to provide the
necessary specifications. In addition, they very rarely have an idea of
cost, and there is a tendency for certain unscrupulous elements to
overcharge the house builder, as a solution to these drawbacks and to
provide a value-added service to the end user, Lanka Aluminium
Industries PLC opened the Concept Centre to display life-size working
models of windows and doors in attractive finishes" Managing Director,
Dinal Peiris said.
"These product concepts are revolutionary and the extrusions are
proprietary.
The company which has also invested in state-of-the-art machinery can
also manufacture arched windows. Today, aluminium extrusions are among
the most widely used building materials in the construction of high rise
buildings the world over, as aluminium is the only viable material
capable of withstanding wind loads and forces applicable on windows in
such construction projects," he said |
