GuangZhou BiGuiHuanTing Building Case
New Smelters in the US: Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has selected Oklahoma as the preferred site for a historic $4 billion investment to build the first new primary aluminum production plant in the United States in 45 years.
- Strong Market Growth: The aluminum market is projected to see significant growth in the coming years, driven by demand from transportation, construction, and packaging sectors.
Asia-Pacific remains the largest and fastest-growing market.

- Good Acoustic Properties (with Perforation): While solid aluminum panels can reflect sound, perforated aluminum ceiling panels with an acoustic fleece backing can significantly improve sound absorption, reducing echo and noise levels in a room. This is beneficial for offices, auditoriums, and other spaces requiring good acoustics.
- Recyclability and Environmental Friendliness: Aluminum is 100% recyclable without loss of quality. Using aluminum ceilings contributes to sustainable building practices and reduces environmental impact, aligning with growing ecological awareness and regulations.
- Compatibility with Integrated Services: Aluminum ceiling systems are highly compatible with integrated lighting, HVAC vents, sprinklers, and other building services. Panels can be easily removed for access to the plenum space for maintenance or upgrades, offering practical functionality.
- Thermal Performance: Aluminum has good thermal conductivity, which can be an advantage in certain applications. While not an insulator, its reflective properties can help in passive cooling strategies or be designed into systems to manage heat, contributing to energy efficiency in specific building designs.
