Mold creation is a pivotal initial step, requiring about 7 days to finalize. This process ensures that each custom aluminum louver section precisely aligns with project specifications, laying the foundation for superior quality and performance.
Aluminum Alloys and Heat Treatment
Aluminum louver sections are commonly made from specific aluminum alloy grades, each selected for their unique properties and suitability for various applications.
6063 Aluminum Alloy: This alloy is known for its excellent extrudability, good corrosion resistance, and surface finish qualities. It is commonly used for architectural applications due to its good aesthetic appearance after anodizing. Its chemical composition includes magnesium and silicon as the primary alloying elements.
6061 Aluminum Alloy: 6061 is a more structurally robust alloy compared to 6063, making it ideal for applications requiring higher strength. It has good corrosion resistance, weldability, and is suitable for anodizing. The alloy’s chemical composition mainly consists of magnesium and silicon.
Heat treatment is a crucial process that enhances the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. T6 is the most common temper for 6063 and 6061 alloys, involving solution heat treatment and artificial aging, resulting in increased strength and hardness.
Surface Treatment Options
Surface treatments not only protect aluminum louver sections but also contribute to their aesthetic quality.
Anodizing: This electrochemical process enhances corrosion resistance and wear properties, offering a range of colors for design flexibility. It creates a durable, maintenance-free finish ideal for architectural applications.
Powder Coating: Provides a thick, uniform coating without running or sagging, available in an extensive palette of colors. It offers excellent durability and resistance to chipping, fading, and corrosion.
Painting: Allows for custom color matching, ensuring that the aluminum louvers perfectly complement the architectural design. High-quality paints ensure a consistent and durable finish.
Fluorocarbon (PVDF) Coating: Known for its exceptional resistance to weathering, chemical exposure, and UV degradation, PVDF coatings ensure the aluminum retains its color and gloss over an extended period, making it suitable for harsh environments.

The heated billet is then pressed through the die to create the custom profile. Our extrusion presses, ranging from 600 to 3600 tons, are capable of producing a wide range of profile sizes and shapes.
Step 5: Surface Treatment and Finishing
Following extrusion, the profiles undergo various surface treatments as per your requirements. Options include anodizing, electroplating, sandblasting, powder coating, fluorocarbon painting, and wood grain transfer printing. These processes enhance the profiles’ durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
Step 6: Quality Assurance
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Each custom aluminum profile is subjected to rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets ISO standards and our European quality certifications. We perform dimensional inspections, mechanical testing, and surface finish evaluations to guarantee that your profiles are delivered without defects.
