Custom Aluminum Fence Profiles from China ALU Extrusion Manufacturer
Overview
Aluminum fence profiles are the backbone of modern fencing solutions. Known for their durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal, these extruded aluminum profiles offer significant advantages over traditional fencing materials like wood or steel. Aluminum does not rust, rot, or fade, ensuring a long-lasting perimeter that remains attractive over the years. Moreover, compared to other metals, aluminum is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for both residential and commercial fencing applications.
Types of Aluminum Fence Profiles
Our custom extruded aluminum fence profiles come in various shapes and sizes to meet diverse design and functional requirements. Common classifications include:
Residential Profiles: Designed with a focus on aesthetics and privacy, perfect for home gardens and yards.
Commercial Profiles: Built for higher security and durability, suitable for business premises, schools, and industrial areas.
Industrial Profiles: Engineered for maximum strength and protection, ideal for factories and high-security zones.
Features of Aluminum Fence Profiles
Key features that distinguish our aluminum fence profiles include:
Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum naturally forms an oxide layer that protects against corrosion, further enhanced by treatments like anodizing.
Customizability: With a range of design options, our profiles can be customized to fit any architectural style or client preference.
Eco-Friendliness: Aluminum is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally responsible choice for eco-conscious consumers.
Customization Options
As a premier aluminum profile manufacturer, we specialize in custom production. We can create molds based on your drawings or samples within approximately 7 days. The production timeline varies with volume; for instance, a 26-ton order would typically take 10-20 days. Our customization options include:
Alloy Selection
Choose from alloys like 6061, 6063, 7075, and others, each with a detailed composition that meets international standards.
6061 is widely appreciated for its excellent balance of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it a versatile choice for structural components;
6063, often referred to as the “architectural alloy,” offers a smooth surface finish, higher corrosion resistance, and is ideal for intricate extrusions used in building and construction;
7075 stands out for its superior strength-to-weight ratio, a critical factor in aerospace and automotive sectors where high stress-resistance and lightweight materials are essential, albeit with a trade-off in workability and corrosion resistance compared to its counterparts.

Heat Treatment
Specify T5 or T6 treatments for enhanced material performance.
T5 Heat Treatment
T5 heat treatment for aluminum profiles involves cooling the material from an elevated temperature and artificially aging it to increase its strength. This process results in improved formability and weldability while maintaining good corrosion resistance. T5-treated aluminum profiles are often used in applications that require moderate strength and excellent corrosion resistance.
T6 Heat Treatment
T6 heat treatment for aluminum profiles involves solution heat treatment followed by artificial aging, resulting in the highest level of strength and hardness. T6-treated aluminum profiles are ideal for applications that demand high strength, excellent mechanical properties, and resistance to wear and abrasion. This heat treatment process enhances the overall performance and durability of the aluminum profiles.
Surface Treatments
Anodizing, electroplating, sandblasting, powder coating, fluorocarbon painting, and wood grain transfer are available to achieve the desired finish and durability.
Anodizing: Provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish while maintaining the metallic look of aluminum.
Electroplating: Adds additional protection against corrosion and wear.
Sandblasting: Creates a uniform, matte surface finish that can improve the adhesion of subsequent coatings.
Powder Coating: Offers a thick, protective layer in a wide range of colors, enhancing both the appearance and corrosion resistance.
Fluorocarbon Painting: Provides excellent weather resistance, making it suitable for outdoor applications.
Wood Grain Transfer: Mimics the appearance of wood for a natural look with the benefits of aluminum.
