An aluminum profile or extrusion, also called “aluminum frame” is made from the extrusion process, and comes in various textures, colors and brightness.
To learn more about what an aluminum profile is and the kinds of extrusions offered by Profall, go on reading. In this page you will find the answer to the most common questions such as:
Aluminum profiles are products born from aluminum alloys that are transformed into shaped objects through the extrusion process. Aluminum’s unique combination of physical characteristics mostly depends on this process.
Aluminum extrusions are used in several fields because this metal is:
Therefore, aluminum is employed in a growing number of manufacturing needs, including the production of components for international space stations or in nuclear power plants.
Now that we have answered the question “What is an aluminum profile?”, we can go through the existing kinds of extruded profiles.
In fact, considering that at Profall’s we are specialized in the full or partial customization of aluminum extruded profiles, we can say that there exist countless kinds. Yet it is more practical dividing them into two main categories:
Each aluminum extrusion profile is available in a wide range of different sizes and can be made with different aluminum alloys according to its destination.
Standard profiles are those available in our basic catalog, and include fifteen different shapes applied in various fields. In this first group you find aluminum corner profiles, duct and double-duct profiles, square and round tubes and pipes, T-tracks, U channels and Z profiles, flat, round and square bars.
The catalog of our standard aluminum shapes includes:
On request, we can study a special design depending on what kind of aluminum profile is right for you.
As a matter of fact, Profall’s specialty is the production of fully customized profiles that have extremely tiny dimensional tolerances – a thing which is often hard to find on the common aluminum market – and are made with different aluminum alloys according to the aimed use.
To be able to do this, we constantly invest in R&D as well as in technical staff so as to guarantee a cutting-edge-level of detail during processes like:
For instance, we have produced tailor-made aluminum profiles for designer brands such as Thierry Mugler, for architects’ studios, for the city of Doha in Qatar and the likes.
Profall manufactures aluminum profiles using soft alloys from the 1000, 3000, and 6000 series. Each series has specific properties:
The selection of the alloy is based on the specific mechanical properties required, as well as factors such as corrosion resistance, workability, and the intended application of the profile.
Aluminum profiles, with their versatility and durability, have found their way into a myriad of applications across various industries.
Below is an overview of some of the key sectors where these profiles are extensively utilized, highlighting their diverse functionalities:
These applications underscore the adaptability and essential role of aluminum profiles in advancing technology, sustainability, and design across industries.
In addition to the above listed technical advantages of calling Profall to make your aluminum profiles, we put great attention to customer satisfaction.
