This product is a construction material readily available at a major home improvement retailer. It is characterized by its composition of a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal formed into a hollow shape with four equal sides and right angles. Examples include its use in frameworks, supports, and trim where strength and resistance to the elements are required.
The material provides a cost-effective and durable alternative to steel or wood in numerous applications. Its inherent resistance to rust and its lightweight nature simplify handling and installation, contributing to reduced labor costs. Historically, the increasing availability and affordability of aluminum have broadened its usage across diverse industries, from construction to transportation.
