BetterBillet™ – YKK AP Aluminum Billets

Why choose better?

As architects, engineers, and manufacturers, we share a responsibility to design and build with the future in mind. That means rethinking materials, challenging legacy systems, and starting with better ingredients. At YKK AP, we acknowledge the environmental impact of aluminum production worldwide and recognize our responsibility to make it better.

When you specify or purchase a product from YKK AP, you are getting a better product,  because we start with the BetterBillet™ —our exclusive low carbon aluminum billet. Proudly manufactured at our Dublin, GA facility, our in-house production gives us exceptional visibility and control over every element that goes into our billet —the key ingredient in our finished commercial products.

#Startwithbetter

Our BetterBillet™ is made with a combination of low-carbon aluminum and a minimum of 30% recycled scrap.

By prioritizing renewable energy, we reduce the carbon footprint of all our products throughout a building’s life cycle.

We melt and cast our billets in-house, ensuring color consistency and material strength through a tightly controlled alloy mix.
