Design the surface treatment

Aluminum extrusions can be surface treated to give different aesthetics. When design an extrusion, bear in mind the type of finish you need and provide clear instructions about which sides of the extrusion are primariy visible surfaces.

Plan the application and assembly

Careful consideration should be gived to how the extrusions are used and assembled. The most common types of joints are hingers, srew ports and clip fits. But the aluminum extrusion really is the most extraordinarily versatile material which you’ll spot them everywhere, like #windows and #doors#ElectricBusway#CableChannel#Housing#LEDStrips,

Weight up the costs

The cost of the final extrusion is a function of its weight and complexity along with the customized required.

✔ Quality specifications

✔ End-use length/purchase length

✔ Secondary fabrications

✔ Quantity – this order/annual requirements

✔ Packaging, handling, shipping

We will advise the quote for a range of design considerations. Tooling for hollow profiles is typically more expensive thean solid profiles but still offers great values when compared to alternative production methods.
