Aluminium profiles, pressed to the tolerance your system needs.
We built our press to make better fly screen profiles. The same line now runs profiles for shutters, fences, curtains, frames and custom designs, in small and large batches.

Process
From billet to bundle
Every batch is measured against its drawing at the press and again before packing.
Billet heating
Billets are heated to extrusion temperature in the furnace.
Die
Steel dies, designed and kept for each profile code.
Pressing
The billet is pushed through the die into a continuous profile.
Cooling & stretching
Profiles are cooled on the run-out table and straightened.
Cutting & ageing
Cut to length and aged in the oven to reach T6.
Check & pack
Dimensions and surface are checked, then bundled and labelled.
Finish options
Leave it bare, or colour it in-house
Mill-finish profiles ship straight from the saw. Coloured profiles go through our own powder coating line, so there is no third party between press and paint.
Raw aluminium
For customers who anodise, paint or laminate themselves.
Powder coated
Stock colours and any RAL to order, in glossy, matt or textured surfaces.
Powder coating
Wood effect
