Due to the firmness of aluminium it only has restricted usage. In environments where high chemical stress is to be expected, the compatibility of this material should first be tested. Heavy exposure to water may cause corrosion.

In environments where high chemical stress is to be expected, the compatibility of this material should first be tested. It is important to remove mortar or grout residue immediately from visible surfaces.
