From Idea to Finished Product

If you are looking to enhance your commercial property with an extruded aluminum solution, there are a few steps to take to make your idea into a finished product. First, create a design for your project. Once you know the shape of aluminum that you want, you can determine the shape of die that is needed to produce it. Standard dies are made in many shapes and sizes including square bar, rectangular bar, hexagonal bar, I-beam, H-beam, pipe, etc. At Perfection Architectural Systems, we can also create a custom die for you so that your aluminum project fits your unique needs.

The Versatility of Aluminum

Aluminum is considered to be today’s material of choice and is used in a wide range of industries and applications. The popularity of aluminum is due to its extensive list of favorable qualities such as its high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, impressive resistance to corrosion, low manufacturing costs, and aesthetically pleasing appearance.  Furthermore, aluminum extrusions are considered to be 100% recyclable, which is becoming a growing concern in today’s “eco-friendly” society.

The Extrusion Process

Extrusion is the process of shaping a material by forcing it to flow through a fixed cross-sectional profile called a die. In this process, a material, such as aluminum, is pushed or drawn through a die to create the desired cross-section. A benefit to extrusion over other manufacturing processes is that it can create complex cross-sections. The extrusion process also creates finished parts that have an excellent surface finish.
