It is not aluminum, it only appears metallic. It is a polymer plastic and when heated the molecular structure changes, causing it to shrink and deform.

What are the household uses of aluminium?

It would be somewhere between difficult and impossible to find a household in the U.S. that didn't have something aluminum in it. Lots of trim for windows is made of aluminum. Certainly it has its place in the kitchen where pots and pans are made of this fine conductor of heat. Wiring used to be made of aluminum, but, though it is a good conductor of electricity, it is prone to corrosion and some other negative effects. Lots of aluminum is used in electronics, and your computer, if all the aluminum were removed from it, would lack things like capacitors, disks in the hard drive and some other components or assemblies that would make your computer inoperable. And completely so. The heat exchangers in household refrigerators have aluminum fins. The list goes on.
