Do You Know? About half of the extrusions produced in the United Kingdom are used in the building applications.

Aluminium extrusions can be easily considered to be one of the key elements within the building and allied industry. In fact today it can be said without any doubt that aluminium extrusion is totally providing effective solution to commercial interiors. Aluminium extrusions are typically used in applications like :

• Curtain Walling
• Windows
• Shop fronts
• Partitions
• Glazing
• Conservatories
• Glasshouses
• Roofing
• Scaffolding
• Road Furniture and Signs
• Architectural Hardware
• Heating and ventilation
• Expansion joints
• Wall cladding

Aluminium Windows
Aluminium extrusions is extensively used in buildings. This trend started some thirty years ago and there has been steady growth of aluminium extrusions since then. The advantages of aluminium extrusions in windows is with regard to high strength, low overall along with slimmer profiles. These qualities are impossible with wood or PVC. These days high rise buildings are also preferring aluminium windows.


Curtain Walling
There has been great advances in curtain walling using extruded profiles for use in building industry. Some of the important criteria for aluminium extrusion for use in curtain walling includes :

• Ability to hold dimensional accuracy
• High degree of consistency between bends
• No deterioration of surface finish

Louvres
Louvres is manufactured from extruded aluminium profiles. It gives strength, durability and a perfect continuity of lines. Each single blades get assembled with carefully threaded rods and aluminium spacers after every 200mm. Louvres made with extruded aluminium profile gives windows

• An aesthetically appealing window
• Resistance against anti-vandalism properties
• Protection of windows from airborne projectiles say for example in cyclonic conditions.

Shop Fronts
Extruded Aluminium profiles are used extensively in shop fronts. Design flexibility includes slim sections and concealed fixings.

Balustrades
Balustrades are used for balconies or walkways. Balustrades made from extruded aluminium is ideal because of weather resistance capacity and and strength. They are perfectly suitable for residence or high end commercial applications. These days highly distinctive balustrade system is made by typically fusing of aluminium with timber for a striking impact.


Doors
Extruded Aluminium doors provides customers with flexible design, along with safety and security, this comes with the advantage of extruded profiles in terms of weather resistance.

Partitions
Aluminium extrusion partition systems are known for their functional uses. They effectively redivide open spaces. Partitions made with typical aluminium extrusion if combined with aluminium framing systems, windows, doors, sliders, is a perfect choice for creating an environment that is ergonomically suited and offers flexibility in the working environment.

Wall Cladding
Exterior wall cladding, that is manufactured from extruded aluminium offers very attractive features like:

• Claddings can be supplied as pre- finished
• No need of extra painting
• Extremely robust and offers good resistance from impact damage
• Material being aluminium no chances of rusting, cracks, distortion or brittleness because of Ultra violet degradation.
