Is aluminium veneer a good decorative material or glass in the construction industry?

I think the use of aluminium panels in the construction industry is a current trend - many buildings now use aluminium sheet as a green material. From an aesthetic point of view, the appearance of both is similar, but in terms of value for money, aluminium veneer has more advantages.

Residential use of pure glass curtain is rare, unless it is a government-mandated public façade. Glass curtain wall application in the office building will be a little more, its appearance effect is very good, but there are two problems, 1 is thermal insulation effect is not good, the second is the cost is really expensive. So the residential choice of glass curtain wall is very few. Unless they are built in the CBD of the city centre and have the need for a public facade, or are super luxury apartments. In Qingdao, there are some luxury properties in Shinnan, such as the Deep Blue Centre. Aluminium panels are also a trend in recent years, as they look better than pure stone, and should be more secure in terms of maintenance. Relatively speaking, the thermal insulation effect is better than pure glass curtain.

Is aluminium or glass good for high-rise residential buildings? Each has its own advantages, if from a general point of view, is certainly the aluminum sheet has more advantages.
