Construction industry

Non-ferrous metals play a central role in contemporary construction—both functionally and aesthetically. Their outstanding properties, such as corrosion resistance, formability, and long-term durability, make them ideal materials for roofing and façade cladding, moisture barriers, decorative accents, and specialized technical applications like electromagnetic shielding. Additionally, their recyclability and energy efficiency contribute to sustainable building practices. At Braun Metall, you’ll find a broad selection of non-ferrous metals specifically suited to architectural and structural requirements. Each material offers distinct advantages tailored to function, design, and environmental conditions.

Aluminum

Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and highly versatile—aluminum is widely used in façade systems, window frames, roof terminations, and sunshade elements. Thanks to its excellent formability, it is ideal for custom profiles and cladding components. Powder coating or anodized finishes enable a wide color range and strong UV protection.

Bronze

Bronze delivers a refined appearance with a historical character. It is highly resistant to weathering and abrasion, making it ideal for door fittings, façade accents, stair details, or prestigious entrance areas. It is also frequently used in monument preservation and restoration projects.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel stands for strength and modernity. In construction, it is used for railings, façade elements, cladding, and in moisture-sensitive or hygienic areas such as drainage systems, outdoor kitchens, and swimming pools. It offers exceptional corrosion resistance, low maintenance, and timeless aesthetics.

Copper

Copper is a classic in architecture. Whether used for roofing, façades, or rainwater systems, copper ensures reliable protection over decades. Over time, it develops a characteristic patina that is both protective and visually appreciated. Copper is also fully recyclable and provides excellent shielding and moisture protection properties.

Brass

With its warm golden tone, brass brings a sophisticated look to interior and exterior spaces. It is easy to form, corrosion-resistant, and commonly used for decorative trim, profiles, skirting, door handles, or interior detailing. When combined with materials like glass or wood, it creates elegant contrasts.

Nickel Silver

Nickel silver combines the appearance of stainless steel with easier machinability. It is especially popular in high-end interiors, furniture construction, and shopfitting—where a cool, refined metal look is desired. It is also tarnish-resistant and mechanically durable.

Titanium Zinc

Titanium zinc is a durable and sustainable material widely used in roofing and façade construction. It features a natural self-healing effect for scratches, a matte gray surface, and excellent formability. In both residential and commercial buildings, it is valued for its maintenance-free longevity and full recyclability.
