TECHNAL, a brand of Norsk Hydro – the Norwegian group whose business focuses on aluminium extrusions – says its newly launched aluminium system for designing building envelopes offers multiple creative options, accommodates large glazing units and has the lowest environmental impact.

“It has four new patents that enable optimising materials, simplify manufacture, and facilitate installation, which is carried out dry, with no glue or sealants used on-site, no packaging and no waste,” says Sami Zgheib, the Technical Director at Hydro Building Systems Middle East.
