Aluminum Window Profiles

Aluminum window profiles

Profilati Alluminio manufactures and ships worldwide – thus in the U.S. too – various types of aluminum extrusions also with extremely small dimensional tolerances: among them, aluminum window extrusion profiles.

Being a light and pliable metal, aluminum is used to create a variety of products like window and door frames, top-quality semi-finished products, curtain walls, etc.

However, the characteristic that makes Profilati Alluminio stand out among other aluminum window profile manufacturers lies in the technology used by the company that allows the creation of very small and thin, customized extrusions which are difficult to find on the market.

Types of aluminum window profiles

Two are the main types of aluminum window profiles manufactured by Profilati Alluminio, both certified according to the European regulations:

aluminum glazing extrusions
aluminum window frame profiles
aluminum U channel extrusions
aluminum T-tracks

Aluminum glazing extrusions

These profiles are commonly used in the furnishing and building sectors for the assembly of doors and windows as their main purpose is to house and secure glass panels within door and window frames.

Aluminium Windows Profiles

Aluminum window frame profiles

Aluminum window frames are specially designed profiles cut at 45° to assembly the window’s angles. These profiles are often composed of two profiles: a base element and a snap closure element to secure the glass. Beside windows, this kind of aluminum frame profiles are most used for the creation of wall boards, like those placed in public offices.

Window frames are made in 6060 alloy and sold in bar formats too.

Aluminum U channel extrusions

aluminum U channel extrusions are ideal for window construction and also suitable for electronics, electromechanical, automotive, furnishings, and residential construction industries. Made from 1050, 1070, 3103, and 6060 alloys, they can be produced in very small sizes with standard dimensional tolerances of +/- 0.15 mm, customizable upon request. The minimum order quantity is 200 kg, with delivery guaranteed within two weeks.

Aluminum T-tracks

specializes in producing small aluminum extrusions, including T-tracks made from 1050, 1070, 3103, and 6060 alloys. These T-tracks are ideal for window construction and are also used in mechanical, electronics, residential construction, and automotive industries.

They offer optimal strength, durability, and precision, with standard dimensional tolerances of +/- 0.15 mm, customizable upon request.

What are aluminum window extrusion profiles made of?

It belongs to the 6000 series that includes 6060, 6063, and 6005 soft alloys, characterized by its ease of processing and welding. They are commonly used to manufacture welded structures and machined components as well as specially-designed extrusions, aluminum bars, and tubing.

Advantages of aluminum window extrusions

Aluminum profiles offer significant advantages in window construction due to their numerous benefits:

Strength and durability: aluminum is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for supporting large glass panes while maintaining structural integrity.
Corrosion resistance: aluminum's resistance to corrosion ensures longevity and low maintenance, even in harsh weather conditions.
Customizability: aluminum profiles can be easily customized to fit specific design requirements, allowing for a wide range of architectural styles and finishes.
Thermal properties: the material's thermal properties help improve energy efficiency by providing excellent insulation.
Aesthetic appeal: aluminum offers a sleek, modern look that can enhance the appearance of any building.

These benefits make aluminum profiles a preferred choice for modern, high-performance window systems.
