Aluminium extrusion

Aluminium extrusion is how the aluminium frames of your windows, doors, sliding systems and facades are actually made — a heated aluminium billet is forced through a shaped steel die, like squeezing toothpaste, to produce long profiles with a precise cross-section. That's why aluminium work is really about systems, not loose metal: each window or curtain wall is an engineered kit of matching extruded profiles, gaskets and fixings. In Dubai the details that decide performance are the wall thickness of the profile (thin, cheap sections flex and seal badly on big spans and sliding doors), whether it has a thermal break — an insulating barrier built inside the profile that stops heat and condensation transferring straight through the metal — and the finish, usually powder-coating or anodising for UV and corrosion resistance in the sun and coastal air. A 'new' aluminium window that sweats, whistles or sags is almost always a thin, unbroken, poorly-specified extrusion. Because the performance is designed *into* the profile and can't be added afterwards, getting the system and spec right is exactly the value of an aluminium and metalwork specialist in Dubai.
