Alcoa Performance Metals – The Right Foundation
Quality trim sheets begin with quality materials. Alcoa manufacturers
use aluminum that meets our "Q801" standards – demanding specifications that
cover a wide range of properties, including characteristics many manufacturers
ignore:
-
Tensile strength - the underlying strength of the aluminum itself.
-
Elongation and yield strength - important requirements that affect how well the
trim sheet can be shaped and formed in the field.
-
Metal grain requirements – a key factor that ensures the trim can be bent
and shaped as desired, without causing the finish to crack or split.
-
Corrosion-resistance - of utmost importance in ensuring the long life of the
exterior finish.
-
Flatness - an essential factor in providing a smooth, buckle-free finish.
You can count on long runs of material without ripples, waves or "oil canning".
Our trim sheets bend and form beautifully, with craze-free corners and
burr-free edges the tight foundation for a quality finish.
Quality you can afford
Surprisingly, you don't have to pay more for the best. Alcoa trim
sheets offer exceptional quality that other manufacturers' products cannot.
Considering waste reduction, most contractors use Alcoa trim sheets at a
comparable cost to products of lesser quality.
To enhance any exterior
Enhancing a home's curb appeal is easy with the right combination of
colors. Alcoa's wide selection of colors coordinates with almost any
architectural style and color scheme - giving you the freedom to create the best
look for your home.
Time tested performance
Alcoa trim sheets must conform to rigid corrosion resistance
specifications, and undergo constant testing and quality control. The
aluminum's metal chemistry and casting technology are closely screened and
monitored, while the finishes have undergone years of testing, both in
laboratory simulations and at independent outdoor weather stations. With their
long life and durable good looks, our trim sheets stand up to nature's
toughest challenges.

acrylic emulsion. This exceptional finish outperforms other coatings - even
specially formulated polyesters - in color-hold, adhesion and
corrosion-resistance.
