Aluminium profiles are made from aluminium alloys that are transformed into shapes through extrusion. This process mostly determines aluminium’s unique combination of physical characteristics. Aluminium extrusions are used in several fields because they are strong and stable.

The main types of aluminium profiles include extruded, rolled, sheets, composite panels, diamond plates, and tread plates. Extruded sections are the strongest and most commonly used for structural framing, doors, windows and curtain walls. Rolled shapes are lower-cost alternatives.
