About eight percent of the Earth's crust is made up of aluminium. Aluminium is found in everything from the average beverage can to mechanical parts for aeroplanes. It is also becoming prevalent in the heating industry mainly since it is lightweight, flexible and conductive. In recent years many players in the heating industry have been experimenting with using aluminium for radiators and other parts. The Romans and Greeks were the first to use aluminium, using effectively an aluminium salt for dyeing. However, the pure form of aluminium was first found at the end of the eighteenth century. The pure form of the metal can be very hard to find but in spite of its elusiveness, many industries began implementing aluminium with some regularity by the beginning of the nineteenth century, growing substantially in the twentieth century. Today aluminium is used by everyone from packagers to jewellery makers to industrial experts. One of the reasons this metal is so popular is that it is very resistant to corrosion. Corrosion resistance is one of the properties, along with its flexibility and its light weight nature, that make it so easy to recycle again and again. Over the last few years, manufacturers of central heating equipment have started using aluminium for cooling and heating systems both for domestic and commercial applications. Two of the most popular heating components to recently be switched to aluminium construction are heating coils and copper tubing. Some heating equipment manufacturers have begun making radiators and heating kits out of aluminium. Lately consumers have taken to buying aluminium radiators because the aluminium kits offer faster heating cycles with much less wear and tear to the mechanism itself. If something goes awry with an aluminium radiator, the individual parts can be fixed or refitted quickly due to the aluminium's pliable nature. In addition to buying aluminium heating and cooling kits, many have started buying aluminium windows to help lower their heating and cooling costs. Aluminium windows help regulate the temperature of a room by making sure that the air outside of a room does not influence the temperature of the air inside of a room. Many users have reported a significant reduction to the cost of their heating bills, as the level of insulation is improved. Other uses for aluminium in heating and cooling include the use of aluminium foil for lining ventilation ductwork, floor panel ventilation grilles, and refrigeration coils. One is one of the most versatile materials in the Earth's crust. The vast deposits of Aluminium and its versatility make it the material of choice for many industrial manufacturers. The heating industry is just one industry that has proven that aluminium can be used for a large variety of products and they have begun using this metal is many applications for domestic and commercial customers.
