Hydro’s Extrusion Americas unit has published an updated third edition of its North American Extrusion Design Manual. For the first time the guide includes third-party resource materials on applications and product engineering. Now available on interactive CD, the manual is easier to use and more comprehensive than ever. The manual is a practical engineering and application guide to aluminum extrusions that gives designers, engineers and product developers technical insights and guidelines to take advantage of extruded aluminum’s performance characteristics in new and creative ways. Extrusion Americas is a unit of Norsk Hydro, based in Norway.

This Month’s Features
Sealants for Metal Building Systems
Sealants may seem minor, but they are crucial for metal buildings, ensuring moisture protection and thermal integrity for lasting performance.
Getting Started with IMPs
As construction costs rise, insulated metal panels (IMPs) offer cost-effective solutions with superior thermal and moisture protection.
Kinetic Facades Rise on University Campuses
Unlike conventional cladding, these systems rely on natural forces to animate buildings, providing design functionality and reducing environmental impact while producing striking visual effects.
Case Engineering: Strength, Steel, and Structural Appeal
Working with a diverse range of industries, Case Engineering encounters opportunities to use innovative metal solutions.
