    Before selecting a section

    Four decisions that narrow the range.

    01

    Structural brief

    Confirm spans, support points, design actions, and allowable movement with the project engineer.

    02

    Infill build-up

    Define glass or panel thickness, retention method, gaskets, tapes, and edge clearances.

    03

    Water management

    Coordinate drained cavities, pressure equalization, sill paths, and perimeter sealing.

    04

    Finish exposure

    Match anodizing, powder coating, or other finishes to location, colour, and maintenance needs.

    Drawing-led RFQ

    Need architectural aluminium profiles made to a drawing?

    Send the cross-section, application, quantity, finish and critical requirements for a manufacturability review. Unknown alloy or temper is acceptable.

    Building-envelope context

    Architectural aluminium profiles for façades and interiors

    Architectural aluminium extrusion selection begins with the system drawing, interfaces, drainage, visible surfaces, finish, fabrication, glazing, hardware, and project specification.

    Façade, curtain-wall, and glazing profiles

    Aluminium façade profiles, curtain-wall sections, cladding supports, louvres, and glazing profiles must be selected within the complete building-envelope system. Catalogue context does not replace structural or project approval.

    Partition, railing, and interior profiles

    Aluminium partition sections, railing profiles, trims, frames, and interior extrusions require compatible interfaces and finish definitions. Use a catalogue reference where available or send the project section for review.
