20 October 2025Choosing the Right Aluminium For Your Facade
When it comes to designing a facade, the choice of material is more than just aesthetics. It’s about performance, sustainability, and long-term value. Aluminium has become a go-to material for architects and developers, and Nordisk Profil's Napsu system exemplifies why.
Why Aluminium?
Aluminium offers a unique combination of benefits:
- Lightweight yet strong – ideal for large-scale facades without adding structural burden
- Corrosion resistant – naturally resists rust, making it perfect for outdoor use.
- Low maintenance – requires little upkeep while maintaining its appearance for decades.
- Sustainable – recycled aluminium significantly reduces environmental impact.
The Napsu Advantage
Napsu is Nordisk Profil’s open facade system designed with flexibility and sustainability at its core. Here’s what makes it a standout choice.
- Modular Design for Creative Freedom
Napsu allows slats to be configured in varying lengths, spacings and orientations – horizontal, vertical or even for ceiling and roof cladding. This modularity means the facade adapts to your building, not the other way around.
- Sustainable Materials
Napsu uses Greenline aluminium which is 100% recycled and has a CO2 footprint of just 1.8kg CO2-eq./kg, compared to 11.1kg CO2-eq./kg for primary aluminium. It’s a smart choice for projects aiming for top-tier EPD values and green certifications.
- Surface Finishes That Last
Choose between anodising or powder coating to achieve the desired visual effect: matte, glossy, brushed or coloured. These finishes not only enhance aesthetics but also add durability and protection
- Easy Installation
With only three components and the simple plug and play system, Napsu solutions are simple to install. No visible screws, built-in thermal movement and a clean, sharp finish make it both practical and visually refined.
- Versatility in Application
From parking structures to mobility hubs, Napsu is ideal for projects that demand both form and function. It can be combined with other materials like perforated sheets, expanded metal, solar panels or green walls to create truly unique facades.
Built to Impress And Endure
With a lifespan of 70+ years, minimal maintenance and a sleek architectural profile, aluminium facades like Napsu are not just design choice, they’re a long term investment in quality and sustainability.
