The AKAM company presents at Ukrainian market the aluminum shapes architectural systems by Kawneer Alcoa Architectural Systems
 Architectural systems by Kawneer – this is the world of modern architecture. Be it a bungalow or a skyscraper, an industrial or an apartment building, a stadium or a green house – the Kawneer company implements successfully the ideas of its customers.
Kawneer aluminum shapes are the heat-insulated self-supporting structures that help realize the most ambitious architectural plans.
Major advantages of Kawneer aluminum shapes and windows are as follows:
01. A system-wide approach: all the aluminum shapes conjunctions are mutually aligned, the assembly units are classified and provided with all the necessary connecting elements. An assembler doesn’t have to invent - How? What from? – he just assembles the structure. The assembly, based on the idea that it is impossible to mount a well-thought-out structure incorrectly, doesn’t require an hourly surveillance of a manufacturing technician, an engineer, a designer. It is well-known that the main part of construction problems is connected with careless executives. It is impossible to supervise each assembler constantly, but it is possible to create a translucent structure, which cannot be mounted in any other way but correctly.
02. High geometric precision of an aluminum shape is ensured by the matrices quality. There can be no mismatches and deviations. This means no blowing through, no leaking, but safe conjunction of aluminum and glass elements.
03. Aluminum shape paint is the pride of Kawneer company. During the whole process a shape goes through 11 baths, drying in electric furnaces and powder paint dusting by electrostatics method. The paint quality test is very simple and illustrative: a steel ball dropped on the aluminum sheet makes a dent. The paint doesn’t come off on both sides of the dent on the sheet. While the painted sheets are bent, the paint at the folds doesn’t come off and is not distorted. The Kawneer company tests its paint for 50 years service time. No company-producer of aluminum shapes carries out such type of tests.
04. Lasting quality on the basis of technological effectiveness. A Kawneer aluminum shape translucent structure facade will never be covered with rusty runs – all fixing elements are made of aluminum alloy and А4 stainless steel.
 Kawneer facade is breathing – draining devices, condensate eliminators, ventilation in seam (edge) areas guarantees that the system will be blown through and will remain dry inside under any temperature drops. The Kawneer rubber sealers remain elastic for 50 years and more. A trifle? Maybe, but imagine an overall change of hardened sealers. (And the change will be necessary, as inelastic rubber is the result of blowing through). It is impossible to do without alpinists, broken glass costs, building fencing, loop of pressure and so on.
Choosing a cheaper shape, the lack of advantages mentioned above should be taken into account. Untidy facade, glass roof leaking, windows blown through, strange odors in the building – this all may be caused by inaccurate choice of structures.
Using Kawneer aluminum shapes and windows, we get an architectural translucent structure that doesn’t require any repair and maintenance, which directly does in favor of the building owner’s image. Perfectly smooth surfaces, most lasting and non-fading paints, harmonious surface moves, exterior elegance along with interior stability and high technology – this is how the buildings and translucent structures with Kawneer systems look like.
 The use of translucent aluminum structures is one of the most effective means in reaching expression in modern architecture. All-glass constructions, reflecting facades, glass roofs and atrium bridging, magnificent transparent entrance groups have come into our life and have become an integral part of a modern business city appearance.
Such constructions enable to extend visually the limited space, and thus to bring the primeval element into our daily life.
The AKAM company was among the first in the region to produce aluminum translucent structures of Kawneer shapes and components.
Aluminum and glass construction has appeared to be extremely convenient for the customers, for the architects and for the builders, providing all the participants of a construction process with a great number of new necessary advantages.
High quality structures on the Kawneer shape systems ensure high reliability and assembling simplicity. And a great variety and the depth of technical decisions of AKAM company will satisfy the most exquisite demands of the Customers.
