Navigating Sustainability when Selecting Aluminium Cladding
Given the various attractions of aluminium cladding, its continued popularity for a range of applications is understandable. However, aesthetic and functional benefits are only part of the equation. Environmental considerations are also critical. This whitepaper discusses the key variables that contribute to the sustainability (or otherwise) of such products, helping specifiers make informed decisions about their material choices.
Given the various attractions of aluminium cladding – which include everything from visual appeal, cost-effectiveness and low maintenance requirements to durability, ease of installation, and more – its continued popularity, for a range of applications, is understandable.
That said, it is important to note that aesthetic and functional benefits such as these are only part of the equation. As is now broadly accepted across the construction sector, product choice should also involve environmental considerations. When specifying aluminium cladding, it is important to consider the raw material extraction methods used to produce them, whether their manufacture includes recycled material, and so on.
This White Paper, titled Navigating Sustainability – Key Considerations when Selecting Aluminium Cladding, examines the environmental credentials of aluminium cladding. It identifies the key variables that contribute to the sustainability (or otherwise) of such products and outlines the best ways for specifiers to identify those that are genuinely sustainable.
Network Architectural is focussed on serving the construction market with high quality façades and architectural finishes. As its status as the exclusive Australian distributor of several key cladding brands, including ALPOLIC™ attests, Network Architectural also ranks environmental sustainability among its top priorities. Durable, EPD certified, and designed for easy reuse, ALPOLIC™ NC/A1aluminium composite panels represents the future of façade innovation.

Understanding Facade Warranties: What Designers Should Ask Before Specifying Cladding
Warranties are often overlooked until problems arise, but they are one of the most important safeguards in façade specification. This white paper helps designers understand what is really covered, what is not, and the right questions to ask before signing off. Learn how to assess warranty terms, minimise project risk and protect long-term façade performance.
A declaration is a disclosure, not a sustainability guarantee: Network Architectural debunks the EPD myth
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are invaluable for transparency, but they don’t automatically make a product sustainable. As Llewellyn Regler explains, EPDs are disclosure tools, not guarantees. This article unpacks the myth, showing why specifiers must look beyond the label to durability, maintenance, lifecycle cost and embodied carbon to achieve genuinely sustainable outcomes.
Specifying sustainable aluminium: Understanding the real environmental footprint of façade materials with LCA
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is fast becoming a must-have for architects navigating embodied carbon caps and stricter procurement standards. Yet, not all aluminium cladding is created equal. In this article, we break down how LCA helps specifiers cut through assumptions, compare Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), and make sustainable, evidence-based design choices with confidence.
