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.
