Custom Aluminium Floor Profile Solutions by Premier Manufacturer
Overview
Aluminium floor profiles are essential components designed to enhance the durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal of flooring installations. As a premier custom aluminium extrusion supplier, our company specializes in producing high-quality aluminium floor profiles that cater to a wide range of applications, including transition strips, edge trims, and expansion joints for various flooring materials. The inherent advantages of aluminium, such as its lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and exceptional durability, make it an ideal choice for creating profiles that withstand heavy foot traffic while offering a sleek, modern finish.
Applications of Aluminium Floor Profile
Aluminium floor profiles are versatile and find applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. They are commonly used for:
Transition Profiles: These profiles are meticulously designed to ensure a seamless transition between floors of differing heights or materials. Whether it’s the smooth integration of carpet to hardwood or tile to laminate, our transition profiles provide a flawless and secure bridge, eliminating tripping hazards and creating a cohesive look throughout the space.
Expansion Joint Covers: Flooring materials naturally expand and contract due to temperature changes and other environmental factors. Our expansion joint covers are an essential solution for accommodating this movement, preventing potential damage to the floor. These covers not only safeguard the integrity of the flooring but also maintain a neat and uninterrupted appearance across the surface.
Edge Trims: The edges of floor coverings are prone to wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas. Our durable aluminium edge trims offer robust protection, extending the life of the flooring. Available in various designs and finishes, these trims add a polished touch to the installation, enhancing both the functionality and the aesthetic appeal of the floor.

Aluminium Alloys and Heat Treatment
Aluminium Alloys
- 6063: Ideal for architectural applications, this alloy offers excellent formability, high corrosion resistance, and a smooth surface finish. Its composition includes magnesium and silicon, making it perfect for anodizing.
- 6061: Renowned for its strength and versatility, 6061 contains magnesium and silicon as primary alloying elements. It’s well-suited for structural applications that require high tensile strength and hardness.
Heat Treatment
- T5: This treatment involves cooling the extruded aluminium from an elevated temperature and then artificially aging it. It enhances the material’s strength and stability.
- T6: Involves solution heat treating and then artificially aging the aluminium, providing maximum strength, hardness, and resistance to stress.
Surface Treatments
Aluminium floor profiles undergo various surface treatments to enhance their appearance, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. Here’s a concise overview:
Anodizing is an electrochemical process that thickens the natural oxide layer on aluminium, improving corrosion resistance and allowing for color customization. It results in a durable, non-fading finish suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Powder Coating applies a dry powder that is cured under heat to form a tough layer. It offers a wide range of colors and finishes, including matte and glossy, providing excellent resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading. This environmentally friendly method emits minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Electroplating involves depositing a metal layer, such as nickel or chrome, onto the aluminium surface, enhancing both aesthetics and corrosion resistance. This method is ideal for profiles exposed to harsh conditions.
Wood Grain Transfer creates a wood-like appearance on aluminium through sublimation, combining the durability of aluminium with the aesthetic appeal of wood. It’s popular in settings where a natural look is desired but with lower maintenance.
Brushing and Polishing mechanically alter the surface to produce either a textured finish, which hides imperfections and reduces fingerprint visibility, or a smooth, reflective finish for a more elegant appearance.

Once the design is finalized, we proceed to manufacture the custom extrusion dies. Our precision die-making process ensures that the final profile will match your specifications with high accuracy. We employ state-of-the-art CNC machines to craft dies that can withstand the rigors of extrusion while maintaining tight tolerances.
Step 4: Aluminum Extrusion
With the dies ready, the actual extrusion process begins. We select the appropriate aluminum alloy and heat it to the precise extrusion temperature. 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.
