Today, we continue with the remaining materials used for Columbarium niche units.

1. PVC Material
   We once came across a manufacturer that used PVC plastic to produce Columbarium units. To be honest, this is one of the poorest quality options available. Although PVC-made units are low-cost—making them highly competitive in bidding projects—using them often leads to various issues in the long run. Common problems include deformation and damage. Typically, within 3 to 5 years, the entire unit may warp due to load-bearing issues. Therefore, we strongly advise against choosing PVC Columbarium units.

2. Galvanized Sheet
   Galvanized sheet refers to steel plates coated with a layer of zinc. Galvanization is an economical and effective anti-rust method that helps prevent corrosion and prolong the service life of the steel plate. This material is widely used in mid-range Columbarium units in the industry. We generally recommend using 0.6mm thick galvanized sheets, as the finished unit can support up to 500kg. Thanks to its corrosion resistance, insect prevention, fire resistance, durability, strong load-bearing capacity, and cost-effectiveness, many customers prefer galvanized sheet Columbarium units.

3. Aluminum Alloy Plate
   Using aluminum alloy for the entire Columbarium unit would result in better overall quality compared to galvanized sheets. However, the cost is significantly higher, making it less economical for full-unit construction.

For clients with high-end requirements, we usually recommend a hybrid approach: using galvanized sheets for the side and back panels of the unit, while using aluminum alloy plates for the base panels (load-bearing boards). This not only reduces costs but also meets premium Columbarium design standards.

That’s all for today’s discussion on materials for Columbarium niche units. If you have any questions about selecting a Columbarium, feel free to contact our sales team or customer service for more information.
