Elyam Alum highlights growing demand for modern aluminium pergolas and year-round outdoor spaces
Outdoor living is becoming an increasingly important part of residential and commercial design as property owners look for ways to make terraces, gardens, courtyards, rooftops, poolside areas, and hospitality environments more usable throughout the year. Rather than treating exterior areas as seasonal extensions of a property, architects, homeowners, and developers are placing greater emphasis on structures that provide shade, spatial definition, and long-term architectural value. Within this shift, Elyam Alum is highlighting growing demand for modern aluminium pergolas designed to support more consistent outdoor use across changing seasons. The trend reflects a broader reassessment of how exterior spaces contribute to everyday living, guest experience, and property functionality....

US aluminum tariffs push Canadian beer can costs up nearly 13%
US tariffs on aluminum are raising the cost of beer cans in Canada, putting pressure on breweries that rely on a closely linked cross-border supply chain. Walkerville Brewery in Windsor, Ontario, have so far avoided passing the higher costs on to customers. However, owner Mike Brkovich said the brewery may have to raise prices in the next three or four months as costs continue to increase. He said, “We’re going to have to increase the prices, I think, in the next three or four months. But we’re trying to hold the prices.” One of the clearest impacts is on aluminum cans. Brkovich said the cost of a 473 ml beer can has increased from around 31 cents to 35 cents following the tariff changes. Walkerville Brewery uses about 40,000 cans a month and buys them from a Canadian supplier. To learn...
20 tonnes of aluminium, one Veyron: Why Alonso chose Bugatti chassis 8.100
Spanish racing driverFernando Alonso has added a one-off Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse to his growing collection of rare cars. Known as chassis 8.100, the car is distinguished by bespoke aluminium bodywork that required more than 20 tonnes of aluminium to produce, along with dedicated CAD programmes developed by Bugatti. Its history is equally distinctive, being produced after an original customer pushed Bugatti to create something it had initially considered too expensive. For Alonso, the automobile fits closely with an approach to luxury he outlined in 2024 about choosing manufacturers that treat individual customers differently rather than simply producing cars in larger numbers. To know the aluminium casting demand forecast in the transportation sector, explore our report "Global...
Ducati Desmo450 SM pairs aluminium frame with 63.5hp racing performance
Ducati has unveiled the Desmo450 SM, a new production supermoto developed from its Desmo450 MX platform, featuring an aluminium twin-spar frame. This is designed to combine low weight, rigidity and strength. The motorcycle made its debut during World Ducati Week and is aimed at competition use. The Desmo450 SM uses the same aluminium frame architecture as the motocross model. Ducati says the frame has also been designed to allow a straighter intake route while maintaining the strength and rigidity needed for high-performance riding. The bike has a fuel capacity of 7.2 litres. The company has also focused on reducing weight in other areas. Its Bartubeless wheel system, for example, removes inner tubes and cuts rotating and unsprung mass by 1.2kg. The motorcycle also features a cast...
