Frequently Asked Questions
What aluminium alloy is commonly used for architectural extrusions?
The most common alloy is 6063-T5 aluminium because it provides excellent surface finish quality and good corrosion resistance, making it ideal for windows, curtain walls, and façade components.
When should 6061-T6 aluminium extrusions be used?
6061-T6 aluminium is preferred for structural components requiring higher tensile strength due to precipitation hardening during the T6 temper process.
What surface finishes are available for aluminium extrusions?
Common finishes include:
mill finish
anodised aluminium
powder-coated aluminium
PVDF fluorocarbon coating
What is the typical lead time for custom aluminium extrusions?
2–3 weeks for die production
4–6 weeks for production depending on order size
Lead time varies depending on profile complexity and finishing requirements.
Why are aluminium extrusions preferred over steel in many designs?
Aluminium offers:
approximately one-third the density of steel
high corrosion resistance
easier machining and forming
This combination makes aluminium suitable for structural components requiring high strength-to-weight ratios.
