Let's learn a bit more.
Aluminum Sustainability-Lightweight, Strong & Highly Recyclable
Aluminum is considered one of the most efficient and sustainable materials. The process of melting aluminum down to its molten form does not change any properties of the metal. Therefore, aluminum can be recycled infinitely.
It is also incredibly formable and can be bent or shaped into innumerable designs. These properties mean that aluminium provides architects & companies like ABIYA with endless design possibilities.
Aluminium is very durable and highly resistant to rust / corrosion caused by modern industrial pollutants and requires very little, long term maintenance. The life span of aluminium products is measured in decades rather than years.
Now also take into consideration that at ABIYA our products are custom. We are not mass producing any of our items that will sit on shelves and then end up in landfills . Each project is unique to your needs for your home décor wish list and manufactured in house at our world class manufacturing plant right here in Dubai. UAE (we ship worldwide).
Imagine purchasing one of our ABIYA metal candle holders (as an example) and knowing that it can be passed down from generation to generation. What a great gift idea!
Plus custom home décor is just more fun! Who wants what everyone else has? We know we don’t and we have a feeling because you here reading this blog post, you don’t either.

History:
Air conditioners in Arab countries are a popular tool to cool ones home, but they require a lot of energy and have expensive running costs.
In many of these [hot climate] countries, air-conditioning accounts for more than 70% of the national electrical power consumption. However, less than a century ago, the inhabitants of these countries lived in buildings that incorporated only natural-cooling (i.e. far cheaper) techniques for achieving thermal comfort. Natural-cooling options like the MASHRABIYA.
Mashrabiya is the prominent window that overlooks the street or the courtyard of traditional Arab houses. In the past Mashrabiya was the name given to space, which is enclosed with wooden lattice openings where jars of drinking water were put to cool. It was a practical architectural feature that for centuries offered effective protection against intense sunlight.
The Mashrabiya was also not limited to the task of cooling alone, but also controlling the light, humidity, airflow, visual privacy, along with aesthetic and social properties, which mechanically driven cooling cannot provide.
Mashrabiya is an Option for Sustainable Architecture
There is multiple, duplicated research concerning the green roof, that makes it seem that it is the only environmental element in current sustainable architecture, while in fact, the Mashrabiya can also play an important part in this field.
The economic and the socio-cultural variables in the Arab region within the recent years, and the ideological and cultural openness to the Western world, has led to sustainability becoming an unavoidable trend in Arab countries (Source).
