Extruded aluminum shapes — angle, bar, beam, channel, pipe and tube — in standard profiles.
About the material
Extrusion pushes heated aluminum through a shaped die, producing a profile of constant cross-section in long lengths. It is how aluminum is made into structural and trim shapes rather than flat sheet.
The standard catalogue of shapes covers angle, bar, beam, channel, pipe and tube. Because the cross-section is constant, an extrusion can be cut, drilled and assembled anywhere along its length.
Extrusions are typically ordered in a mill finish. For customers with custom extrusion requirements, profiles can be ordered to their specific design and specifications. Wall thickness and profile geometry determine stiffness, making profile selection a structural decision rather than simply a cosmetic one.
Everything is stocked in 6061-T6, 6063-T5 or both. 6061 is the structural alloy; 6063 takes a better finish and anodizes more evenly.
Grades, finishes, and availability may vary by branch. Please contact your local branch for current product availability.
Custom extrusion program
If the profile you need is not a standard shape, we can have it extruded. Send us your drawing, specifications and quantity and we will work with you on a custom profile.
