Architectural and construction profiles made of aluminum are used to create fence and window and door structures, make facades and furnish exhibition and commercial spaces. Building profile made of aluminum can also be used for interior decoration of rooms.
The application of closed aluminum profiles is extremely wide. For example, they are present in the aerospace industry, shipbuilding, automotive industry and for the manufacture of passenger and freight elevators. For their creation, profiles made of aluminum alloys of the following grades are used: A2, A6, D1, A5, 1560, 1915, etc. Closed aluminum profiles are also used in the electrical industry. This type of aluminum profile is needed for the manufacture of heat exchangers, convectors, refrigeration equipment, electrical buses, air conditioners and radiator components.
This type of aluminum profile is characterized by high wear resistance and strength, which allows it to be used in structures with complex configurations and in buildings where reliability and safety are important. Closed extruded aluminum profiles are produced with wall thicknesses usually from 0.8 mm upwards and are additionally equipped with stiffeners, which are responsible for the strength of the structure.
What length and colors are available for closed aluminum profiles? Dimensions can vary, most often the profiles are produced to meet the individual needs of the customer. The body of aluminum profiles usually comes in standard colors: gray, brown, white or beige. Although, it can also be made in any color. Thanks to its high aesthetic qualities, this type of aluminum profile can be used to make roller shutters for both small and large openings, as well as to replace bars in windows. And also for the production of store window fittings, rolling gates, doors, etc.
In the construction industry, aluminum profiles are divided into:
- "warm" aluminum profile. This is an aluminum profile with a rubber insert, a thermal insert, reinforced with polyamide fiberglass and glazing of different thicknesses. The thickness of the inserts can vary. Installation of closed profiles of this type is successfully used in apartments, houses, as well as in offices and industrial facilities. Warm aluminum profile can be painted on both sides. In addition, windows with this profile are characterized by high acoustic and thermal insulation.
- Aluminum "cold" profile. This is a profile without thermal inserts. The use of closed aluminum profiles of this type is mainly internal glazing of windows and in places where it is not necessary to maintain a constant comfortable temperature. For example, in commercial and industrial buildings. For example, windows with cold aluminum profiles are installed on balconies, loggias, verandas, gazebos, stained glass windows, office partitions, etc. This profile has lightweight hardware and glass with a thickness of 4 mm or 6 mm.
Specialized closed aluminum profiles are sometimes used for assembly. The dimensions of the connecting profiles with polycarbonate are 8-25 mm in thickness. The assembly of closed profiles here applies, for example, to gazebos, arched structures (canopies and canopies), awnings over parking lots, transparent vaults over swimming pools, various types of galleries, bus stops and pedestrian walkways. Polycarbonate sheets are used as filling. Aluminum end profiles are used in the installation of structures of various shapes: from the smallest and simplest to custom configurations. The task of the aluminum end profile is to protect the systems from water accumulation. For this purpose, the profile has a drainage channel and a drip cap - a special metal plate with bends. In addition, it is worth adding that a special aluminum snap profile is used to create frames and coffers. The frame made of aluminum snap profile system, is made of anodized aluminum and meets the modern requirements for outdoor advertising and information design.
