Aluminium Extrusion Profiles and Extruded Sections

An aluminium extrusion profile is a continuous section formed by pushing heated aluminium billet through a shaped steel die. The die gives the section its cross-sectional shape, and once the length is quenched, stretched straight, cut and surface treated, it becomes the aluminium profile a fabricator assembles into a window, door, railing, partition or facade.

They describe the same product at different stages. Extrusion is the process. The extruded section is what comes off the press. The aluminium profile is that section once it has been cut to length and finished, ready to fabricate with. A system profile goes one step further: it is designed as part of a matched family of frames, shutters, beads, gaskets and hardware that assemble together.

Alurac supplies window and door system profiles, facade and curtain wall sections, railing profiles, slim partition and glass partition profiles, gate and front elevation profiles, shower cubicle profiles, automatic door profiles, ACP and HPL sub-frame sections, and custom profiles extruded to a customer drawing.

An aluminium structural profile is a section specified to carry load rather than simply hold glass in place: curtain wall mullions and transoms, spigots and splice sections, point-fixed glazing supports and cladding sub-frames. Its depth, wall thickness and alloy are chosen against the span and the wind load the elevation has to resist, not against a standard catalogue size.

Yes. Share the section drawing or a sample length along with the finish and the application. Alurac reviews the section for extrudability and strength, confirms whether an existing die fits or a new die is needed, and then confirms the minimum quantity and lead time before production.

Profiles can be supplied powder coated in a wide colour range, anodised in natural and tinted shades, or finished in matte, glossy and wood-grain effects. Powder coating suits colour-matched architectural work, anodising suits high-traffic and harsher exposure, and wood finish gives a timber appearance with aluminium performance underneath.

A steel die is cut to the required cross-section. Aluminium billet is heated until it is malleable and forced through that die by a press, emerging as a continuous profile. The profile is quenched to set its properties, stretched to remove twist, cut to length, then aged for strength and finally anodised or powder coated before dispatch.

Check that the quoted wall thickness is what actually arrives, that lengths are straight and free of twist, that the coating or anodised layer is even along the whole section, and that matching gaskets, beads and hardware come from the same system. Also confirm who owns the die and what the realistic dispatch date is. Sections priced well below the market usually save weight rather than money.

Yes. Alurac supplies fabricators, dealers, builders, contractors, architects and facade firms in project and stock quantities, with matched gaskets, beads and hardware for the system profiles so the assembled unit performs the way the system intends.

Supply runs from the Ghaziabad facility across Uttar Pradesh, Delhi NCR, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand, with dedicated supply pages for each state. Enquiries from outside these states are handled case by case depending on quantity and dispatch.
