Buy aluminium profiles directly from the specialist
All aluminium profiles offered here are made of the alloy AlMgSi0.5 EN AW-6060. Aluminium profiles of this material are
- extremely light
- have excellent forming properties and
- high load capacities.
They can therefore be used wherever weight savings and stability are required. Aluminium profiles or aluminium strips are also corrosion- and weather-resistant (rust-proof), easy to process, and also very easy to weld and solder, yet they are non-magnetic.
The aluminium profiles are semi-finished products, i.e., raw materials in their simplest form. They are intended for technical applications and are therefore extremely cost-effective. The surface of the aluminum profiles may exhibit scratches, rolling marks, etc., but is highly anodisable and suitable for powder coating.
You can buy aluminum profiles in the following designs at Metallparadies:
Starting with aluminium flat profiles , aluminium solid tubes and aluminium square profiles , our product range extends from aluminium tubes , aluminium square tubes / aluminium rectangular tubes to aluminium U profiles , aluminium T profiles and aluminium angles or aluminium angle profiles.
What are aluminium profiles actually?
Aluminium profiles are versatile construction elements used in many areas – from construction and mechanical engineering to furniture manufacturing. Aluminum profiles are characterised by their low weight, high stability, and corrosion resistance. Aluminum is a lightweight, durable material that is easy to process. Aluminum profiles are available in various shapes, such as U-profiles, T-profiles, and angle profiles, which are suitable for a variety of applications. These aluminum profiles are not only robust but also attractive, making them ideal for structures that require both functionality and aesthetics.
How can you cut aluminum profiles?
Cutting aluminum profiles is easy, but requires the right tools. For clean cuts, we recommend using a band saw or circular saw with an aluminum blade. Alternatively, metal hand saws, jigsaws, or, in a pinch, angle grinders can be used. It's important to pay attention to precise markings and even pressure when cutting aluminum profiles. This ensures a precise cut, which facilitates further processing of the aluminum profiles.
How load-bearing are aluminum profiles?
Despite their low weight, aluminum profiles offer impressive load-bearing capacity. Due to their light weight, they are used in many applications that are frequently moved, such as ladders and trailers. However, the load-bearing capacity depends on the profile shape, wall thickness, and the aluminum alloy used.
Hollow-chamber and solid aluminum profiles are particularly suitable for high loads. Furthermore, aluminum profiles can be made even more load-bearing through reinforcements or composite structures. Their flexibility makes them a popular choice for a wide variety of projects.
Can aluminum profiles rust?
Aluminium profiles do not rust because, unlike iron, aluminium does not form traditional rust. Instead, a thin oxide layer develops on the surface, protecting the material from corrosion. This property makes aluminium ideal for use in outdoor areas or humid environments.
The corrosion resistance of aluminium profiles can be further increased through anodising or coating. This not only provides additional protection but also enhances the appearance of the aluminium profiles.
