There are significant differences between metal and aluminum ceilings in terms of material characteristics, service life, and construction requirements. The following is a specific comparison:
Durability and lifespan
Metal ceiling: composed of iron sheet and color coating, with a lifespan of about 15-20 years, but prone to rusting and requiring regular maintenance
Aluminum ceiling: Aluminum alloy material has strong corrosion resistance, a lifespan of up to 20-30 years, and low maintenance costs.
Weight and Construction
Metal ceiling: heavier, requires stronger support structure, and installation is complex.
Aluminum ceiling: lightweight, easy to construct, reduces building load.
Sound insulation and thermal insulation
Metal ceiling: Weak sound insulation and thermal insulation performance.
Aluminum ceiling: It has good sound insulation, but strong thermal conductivity, and requires insulation measures.
Fire resistance
Metal ceiling: prone to softening at high temperatures, posing a risk of fire.
Aluminum ceiling: Excellent fire resistance and meets fire safety requirements.
Cost and Environmental Protection
Metal ceiling: Low cost, but difficult to recycle after disposal.
Aluminum ceiling: High cost, but recyclable and more environmentally friendly.
Maintenance and Care
Metal ceiling: Regular inspection for rust prevention is required, and maintenance costs are relatively high.
Aluminum ceiling: Strong weather resistance, difficult to replace after damage.
