Extruded aluminum concrete t bar; no matter how you spell it: tbar, t-bar, t bar, or tee bar the results are the same; beautifully finished form work
that maintains its appearance for a life time. Your balconies and breezeways
will never look better after using an environmentally safe aluminum extrusion.
Our 25 years of extrusion design expertise and practical installation experience
will help you with most field problems. The
Simply Products Company and its
subsidiaries are well versed in aluminum extrusions and all the practical ways
required to help a contractor meet the needs of architect or owner.
Aluminum extrusions have proven to be the best means to help the applicator
prepare for a pour as quickly as possible. Flexible, lightweight, and durable
extruded concrete t bar will help you get off the job much faster!
Aluminum concrete t-bar is a non-ferrous extrusion and that means no
ugly rust stains. The tbar becomes an integral form for the deck and
gives the balcony a more finished look. Formed aluminum or steel flashing
will not join as cleanly or effectively and, in most cases, is not as easy to
work with in the field. Even after 20 years of exposure, aluminum surfaces
will maintain an attractive appearance. Call today and give
Simply Products
the opportunity to help you with all of your aluminum tbar requirements.

Why Use Aluminum ?
The major advantages of using aluminum are tied directly to its
remarkable properties. Some of these properties are outlined in the
following sections.
Strength to Weight Ratio
Aluminum has a density around one third that of steel and is used
advantageously in applications where high strength and low weight are
required. This includes vehicles where low mass results in greater load
capacity and reduced fuel consumption.
Corrosion Resistance
When the surface of aluminum metal is exposed to air, a protective oxide
coating forms almost instantaneously. This oxide layer is corrosion
resistant and can be further enhanced with surface treatments such as
anodizing or painting.
Toxicity
Aluminum is not only non-toxic but also does not release any odors or
taint products with which it is in contact.
Environmental Considerations
The aluminum industry is very conscious of the environmental impact of
its activities. The mining and smelting of aluminum, plus the disposal
of red mud can have a major environmental impact if not done properly.
The industry is proud of its efforts and achievements in rehabilitating
open cut mine sites and the restoring flora and fauna to these sites.
Such efforts have been rewarded with awards from the United Nations
Environment Program and red mud disposal areas are now being
successfully re-vegetated. Environmental requirements are met on pot
line emissions through the use of specialist scrubbing system.
Recycling
The combination of two remarkable properties of aluminum makes the need
to recycle the metal obvious. These first of these factors is that there
is no difference between virgin and recycled aluminum. The second factor
is that recycled aluminum only uses 5% of the energy required to produce
virgin material. Currently around 60% of aluminum metal is recycled at
the end of its lifecycle but this percentage can still be vastly
improved.
Applications
The properties of the various aluminum alloys has resulted in
aluminum being used in industries as diverse as transport, food
preparation, energy generation, packaging, architecture, and electrical
transmission applications. Depending upon the application, aluminum can
be used to replace other materials like copper, steel, zinc, tin plate,
stainless steel, titanium, wood, paper, concrete and composites.
