BHD design and develop a series of CPD presentation for Alutec delivering a dynamic and engaging presentation for sales teams and CPD presentations

1. Durable Eaves Solutions

3. Aluminium: A sustainable building material
60%
of aluminium production
uses hydroelectric power
8%
of the earth’s crust is bauxite
3rd
most abundant element in the
world, after oxygen and silicone
Bauxite
lies close to the surface and is
extracted using open cast mining
97%
of bauxite mines are returned
to their natural condition
53
63%
of global aluminium production
is used for the construction
of buildings

25mm along the length of the eaves for pitches of 15° or less
10mm along the length of the eaves for pitches of more than 15°
25mm vent opening area along the entire length of eaves

8. Fascia & Soffit
Eaves are often neglected at
design stage
Over time, eaves can become
high maintenance
Without proper care, eaves can become
an unsightly feature of the building
There are a range of options available

Low maintenance – no
repainting required, low
lifetime cost
Nano self cleaning

50+ year life
expectancy
Only 4mm thick, ideal for
fixing over existing timber
fascia boards
Option of bonding,
eliminating visible joints
Alutec offer a choice of
11 standard colours

Who said that gutters and
downpipes are boring?
Kunsthofpassage Singing Drain
Pipes, Dresden, Germany –
When the rain falls, this drain
system turns into a musical
instrument and becomes a nice
feature to the building.
