Drawing aluminium profiles

We specialize in supplying custom aluminum profiles to meet the individual requirements of our customers. Our aluminium profiles are the ideal choice for a wide range of applications, whether these are high-volume or smaller jobs. We offer different shapes, lengths and finishes of aluminium profiles to meet the most demanding needs. With an emphasis on quality, precision and speed of delivery, we strive to ensure that every customer receives a product that exactly matches their requirements and contributes to the success of their project. Thanks to our modern technology and expert team, we are able to implement even the most complex designs with maximum efficiency.

In addition to custom aluminum profiles, we also offer standard aluminum profiles in our e-shop.

Custom production of aluminium profiles

We are able to produce virtually any aluminium profile to order. If you have specific requirements or doubts, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to help you and prepare everything you need.

Extrusion of aluminium profiles

  • Preparation of material: The aluminium ingot is heated to 460-500 °C.

  • Extrusion: The plunger pushes the aluminium through the die to create the desired shape of the aluminium profile. The extrusion is carried out with a hydraulic press, the size of which is adapted to the specific aluminium profile.

  • Temperature rise: When extruded, the temperature of the aluminium rises slightly above 540 °C.

  • Cooling: The aluminium profiles are cooled at 50 °C/min by air (T5 condition) or water (T6 condition). Water cooling improves mechanical properties. During cooling, the profiles are subjected to a small tension to eliminate curvature.

  • Final touches: The profiles are cut to a length of 6 metres, folded into pallets and baked at 175 °C for eight hours.

  • Finishing or sale: After heat treatment, the aluminium profiles are ready for surface treatment or for sale.

Profiles with thermal break

  • Thermal break profiles are designed to minimize thermal conductivity, thus ensuring better energy efficiency in buildings.
  • This type of profile is often used in windows, doors and facade systems where it is important to prevent heat loss.
  • The use of these profiles helps to achieve better thermal insulation properties and reduce heating and cooling costs.

  • The connection of the profiles is carried out according to the European standard EN14024

Powder coating – a quality finish for your aluminium profile

Powder coating is a process that provides a highly durable and aesthetic surface for aluminium profiles. This process is carefully designed to ensure maximum quality and durability of the coating. Here is a detailed description of the workflow:

The surface of the aluminium profiles is first perfectly cleaned. The profiles are immersed in acid to remove impurities and oxides. This step is followed by degreasing in an alkaline bath to ensure that the surface is completely free of grease and other contaminants. This thorough preparation process is crucial to ensure perfect adhesion of the subsequent layers.

This is followed by the chromating process, where the surface of the profile is coated with a layer of chromium oxide. This layer significantly increases the corrosion resistance of the material and improves the adhesion of the coating. Chromating is essential for the long-term protection of aluminium profiles from adverse environmental influences and ensures that the coating is evenly distributed and adheres firmly to the surface.

In the paint booth, polyester resin powder is applied to the surface of the aluminium profiles. This powder coating is applied by electrostatic spraying, which ensures uniform coverage of the entire profile surface. Polyester resins are highly durable and provide excellent UV and weather protection.

The last step is the curing of the coating in the polymer oven. The profiles are placed in a furnace where they are heated to a temperature of around 200 °C. This process hardens the powder coating, which becomes a solid, protective layer. The high temperature ensures that the coating acquires its final properties such as resistance to scratches, impact and other mechanical damage.

The profiles we supply are painted in accordance with the QUALICOAT, SEA-SIDE, QUALIDECO and QUALIMARINE certificates, which recognize and guarantee the entire process. We also supply painted sheets, which you can order on our e-shop ALUNET.cz.

We offer RAL, NCS, special, textured, metallic, wood decor and antibacterial colours.

Anodic oxidation – anodizing of aluminium profiles

Anodic oxidation, also known as anodizing, is an electrochemical process that increases the resistance of aluminium profiles to corrosion and mechanical wear. This process involves the formation of a thick oxide layer on the surface of the aluminium, which protects the material from the harsh environment and makes it ideal for applications in coastal areas and extreme climatic conditions.

The different colour and finish options also make it suitable for design applications. After cleaning the profile with acid and in an alkaline bath, the aluminium is immersed in an electrolytic solution where it serves as an anode. This creates a shiny, transparent layer of alumina (Al2O3) that is much higher quality than natural oxide. The colour shades are achieved by adding metal salts to the electrolyte. Finally, the surface is sealed in a deionized water bath at 100 °C.

We offer anodized aluminium profiles in many colours and surface finishes, guaranteeing European “EWAA-EURAS” quality in four classes, which differ in oxide thickness and application. In our ALUNET.cz shop you can find anodized profiles in various colours.
