Gulf Extrusions (Gulfex), a leading manufacturer of extruded aluminium products, has launched a series of construction solutions during its participation at The Big 5 International Building and Construction Show, in Dubai, UAE.

The show which kicked off on November 23 will conclude tomorrow (November 26), and is being held at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

The company has introduced ‘Safaa’, a new range of specialty powder coating specifically developed for the unique architectural demands of the region, offering a wide range of design and colour choices to architects, contractors, engineers, and property owners, said a statement from Gulfex.

The company has unveiled a new software for the optimisation of estimated time of completion and structural calculation. The new solution will help in reducing production and estimation time by 50 per cent as well as preparing structural and u-value calculations, it said.

Additionally, it will also showcase solutions that meet and even exceed performance criteria for fire safety and acoustics in building envelopes. While noise reduction is an increasing priority for buildings, fire safety solutions ensure a safer built environment, it added.

Gulfex also conducted a Continuing Professional Development (CPD)-certified workshop on ‘Fire Safety in Facades’, and organised a live demonstration of the best practices in façade installation, accessory and firefighting equipment during its participation at the show, said the statement.

Modar Al Mekdad, CEO of the Metals Industries and general manager of Gulf Extrusions, said: “The show is one of the region’s biggest and most established exhibitions for building and construction and a perfect platform for new launches.”

“Gulfex has introduced a new powder coating range, a software solution, and fire safety and acoustic solutions. These products are specially designed for the Middle East’s harsh environment characterised by high temperatures and humidity and have been receiving tremendous response from trade visitors,” he said.

“Moreover, we will provide live demos so that interested clients can have a better understanding of the products, enabling them to make quick decision,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
