Information

This session will provide architects, engineers, and construction professionals with a technical understanding of fire-resistant building materials, with a specific focus on aluminum extrusions.

Join us to learn how aluminum performs under fire exposure, how it compares to other commonly used materials, and why it's increasingly specified for cladding applications-particularly in wildfire-prone regions such as California. Plus, explore design strategies, code-compliance considerations, and real-world applications in which aluminum extrusions help enhance building resilience.
