The concept of sustainability has gained much popularity over the recent years, which has motivated many companies and manufacturers to use eco-friendly and sustainable materials—recycling and reusing help to reduce pollution and energy consumption. Most materials are recyclable, and it is just that some materials are easier to recycle when compared to certain other materials.
One of the most recycled materials is metal. Among many metals that we know, aluminum has the highest recycling rate. Many producers and manufacturing companies prefer to design sustainable products that will have a long life and will not harm the environment.
KNOTWOOD is among such companies that believe in the cause of sustainability. Therefore, when designing their products, they make sure to use recyclable materials that will not harm the environment. The products produced by KNOTWOOD are one hundred per cent reusable, and the coating used is free from volatile organic compounds or VOCs. The products manufactured by KNOTWOOD have a lead-free finish, resulting in a smaller ecological footprint.
KNOTWOOD ensures that the colour you choose for your commodities lasts long for years without fading away. The colour finishes used by them undergo discreet tests to ensure that the colours can stand firm in the test of time and endure any harsh environmental conditions. KNOTWOOD offers you different colour finishes such as wood grain colour finish, solid colour finish and varied colour effects. Under each of these styles, you will get a wide variety of colour finish options from which you can choose your choice colour finish for your item.
KNOTWOOD uses a world-class wood grain finishing machine, which assists them in catering to their customers' needs. They use ultra-modern paint technology, and a wood look aluminum finish called sublimation makes the products durable and prevents it from cracking, peeling and chipping. The aluminum finish helps to maintain the look and warmth of wood without spending much on maintenance.
One of the main problems of wood products is that they are cumbersome, making them difficult to move, install and maintain. KNOTWOOD is known for bringing solutions to its customers' problems. While Keeping this problem in mind, KNOTWOOD has adopted the modular aluminum system, along with powder coating, which combines the durability and light weight of aluminum with the timeless glamour of wood.
Aluminum is known to have a low density. Aluminum’s density is one-third the density of steel, making it very lightweight. It is 50% less heavy than wood when measured equally. Although aluminum is lightweight and low-density, it is sturdier and more durable than wood. The lightweight material can be carried and transported without spending a lot on transportation costs. It also assists with easy installation and maintaining its structural integrity in all conditions.
Natural wood might have a initial time of glamour and beauty, but it comes with many drawbacks. One of the significant drawbacks of wood is that it is not resistant to damp weather, reducing its durability and lifespan. Unlike wood, aluminum is resistant to humid climates, and aluminum products work efficiently in various weather conditions without being affected. Since the products produced by KNOTWOOD are of aluminum, the products are weather resistant and non-porous.
KNOTWOOD products are a perfect combination of durability and glamour. The aluminum provides strength and sturdiness, and the wood grain finish gives it the natural beauty of wood. Often it has been seen that wood swells, gets infected by fungus and even rots when exposed to wet conditions. Since KNOTWOOD products of aluminum it doesn't retain water, preventing it from getting affected by such conditions. KNOTWOOD products are much easier to maintain and do not require sanding or harsh chemicals to maintain their beauty.
It has often been that insects attack wooden items. When insects like ants and termites invade wooden items, they not only ruin the exterior by making holes it also damages the object from within as it eats up the wood. Such invasion by termites or other insects causes massive damage to the products as the insects to eat up the wood making the wood flimsy and less sturdy. Maintaining a wooden item can cost a fortune as it requires additional chemical treatments and other maintenance treatments to protect it from pest attacks.
KNOTWOOD products made out of aluminum, which is impervious to insects. Therefore, there is no chance of any pest attack, damaging the beautiful finish of KNOTWOOD products, making them long-lasting and durable. As mentioned before, aluminum is impervious to pests; there is no need for additional chemical or pest treatments.
One of the many beneficial properties of aluminum is its ability to endure direct sunlight. Aluminum is an excellent material that one can use for outdoor products. This property of aluminum makes KNOTWOOD perfect for the outdoors. Unlike most other metals, aluminum remains much cooler when exposed to direct sunlight. Some materials, natural wood, have a high chance of getting damaged when exposed to direct sunlight. Wood is photosensitive, meaning the wood's colour changes if exposed to direct sunlight. The ultraviolet light of the sunlight darkens the wood.
Aluminum has the natural ability to absorb heat slowly but can dissipate heat very quickly, which cools it down at a rapid rate. This characteristic of aluminum makes it a suitable material for decks, handrails and other appliances which are made for outdoor purposes, as there is no chance the finish will get damaged. It also prevents the apparatus from getting heated by releasing the heat faster.
Aluminum is a perfect material for making outdoor building appliances. It is lightweight, resistant to damp weather, and impervious to pests like termites and ants, which damage the wood. Aluminum has an anodizing property which makes it corrosion resistant and helps to repair if it gets damaged. In addition to all these benefits, aluminum has a non-warping property which makes it straighter than natural wood.
KNOTWOOD includes high-quality marine-grade aluminum, which provides outstanding strength and durability. KNOTWOOD ensures that all extrusions are true to their original form by supplying a length of imperial 6.5m. since aluminum is resistant to moisture and does not retain water, it makes it frost free and resistant to freezing. As a result, when exposed to cold environments, KNOTWOOD does not wrap or expand over time. It makes KNOTWOOD a perfectly crafted material that has a fantastic look and is durable light, weather resistant, and requires minimal maintenance.
The KNOTWOOD aluminum is not only eco-friendly, lightweight and long-lasting, but it is also corrosion-resistant. The main reason KNOTWOOD is corrosion-resistant is the high-quality marine-grade aluminums used for making KNOTWOOD. Generally, 6061 aluminums is ideal for marine-grade applications, and the 6061 aluminum provides outstanding strength and makes it resistant to harsh environmental conditions.
Most metals form metal oxide when they react with oxygen. Unlike other metals, aluminum, when it comes in contact with oxygen in the atmosphere, reacts with it to form a thin layer of extremely thin oxide. This thin layer of oxide is not easily noticeable. The thin layer of oxide, which forms naturally, acts as an excellent protective layer which prevents the aluminum from rusting and corrosion. This process of anodizing aluminum helps aluminum to improve its endurance to corrosion in harsh weather conditions. In case of any damage, this thin protective layer of oxide also assists in repairing the damage.
As we know that aluminum, unlike wood and most steel grade, does not do not retain or absorb water. This characteristic of aluminum makes KNOTWOOD non-porous and corrosion resistant and prevents it from getting brittle at low temperatures, resulting in aluminum becoming resistant to frost and freezing conditions. Since KNOTWOOD is made out of aluminum, it is not affected in areas with freezing weather and low temperatures.
KNOTWOOD is the perfect material for any outdoor appliance. Since KNOTWOOD is of high-quality marine grade aluminum, it is resistant to damp weather conditions, making it corrosion resistant, increasing the lifespan and durability of the material. It is not affected by ultraviolet light, which makes it resistant to sunlight. Aluminum has the natural ability to absorb less heat and dissipates heat at a much faster rate than any other metal, which helps it to cool down. Therefore, KNOTWOOD can also be for locations with warm weather conditions. As mentioned above, aluminum does not get brittle in low temperatures and its strength increases. The moisture-resistant property of aluminum prevents it from wrapping and expanding, which makes KNOTWOOD a perfect material for outdoor application in icy areas.
Wood has many drawbacks, which makes it an unsuitable material to be used for producing building modular system. Wood is not a sustainable material because it is difficult to recycle. It is also problematic for outdoor devices as it gets affected by ultraviolet light, which darkens the colour of wood, ruining the natural beauty of wood. Wood is also prone to moulds and pest attacks which damage the wood externally and internally. Among all these drawbacks, one major drawback of wood is that it is combustible, which means it can get caught in a fire.
Therefore, when manufacturing building modular system, it is vital to use a material which is resistant and resilient to fire. Keeping this in mind, KNOTWOOD has ensured that it is non-combustible. KNOTWOOD is manufactured by following relevant procedures that meet international fire resistance standards. This benefit provided by KNOTWOOD truly beats the use of wood.
