Aluminium extrusions, standard profiles and custom dies.

Standard sections and custom dies

Most enquiries are met from profiles already in production — angles, channels, tubes, flats, glazing sections and framing. If your drawing calls for a section nobody runs, we quote the die alongside the metal so you can see both costs before committing. Send a DXF, a PDF of the section or a sample offcut and we come back on feasibility, die cost, minimum run and lead time.

Before quoting a die we check whether a standard section already does the job. A die that saves two rupees a kilo rarely pays for itself on a single order, and we would rather tell you that at enquiry stage than after you have paid for tooling.

Which grade for which job

6063 is the architectural workhorse: it extrudes into thin, complex sections and anodises to an even finish, which is why window, door and curtain wall systems are built from it. 6061 is stronger and machines better, so it suits structural sections, brackets and parts that get drilled and tapped. 6082 sits close to 6061 and is common where structural sections are specified to European practice.

Finishing

Material can be supplied mill finish, anodised in natural or a colour, or powder-coated to a RAL shade. Anodising thickness and coating specification are agreed on the order and confirmed in writing, because façade work is usually tendered against a stated micron class rather than a general description.

What it ends up in

• Façades and curtain wall — mullions, transoms, capping, pressure plates
• Window and door systems — frames, sashes, sliding and casement sections
• Machine framing, guards, enclosures and automation rigs
• Railings, partitions, shopfronts and signage sections
• Heat sinks and LED profiles
• Solar mounting structures and transport bodies
