Grades, Materials & Advanced Specs
The choice of alloy grade has a significant impact on the strength, surface finish and machinability of your extrusion. Explore the grades and material specs we work with, and talk to us about anything more specialist.
-
Aluminium 6063
The most common architectural alloy. Excellent surface finish, good strength, and guaranteed anodising quality. Available in T6 (fully hard) and T4 (bending quality) tempers.
Best for: Architectural profiles, decorative sections, general-purpose extrusions.
-
Aluminium 6005
A derivative of 6063 with higher strength, while still guaranteeing a good anodising finish.
Best for: Structural applications requiring a better surface finish than 6082.
-
Aluminium 6082
A high-strength structural alloy. Anodising is possible but the finish is not guaranteed to the same standard as 6063.
Best for: Heavy structural applications where strength is the priority.
-
Other Grades & Materials
Whatever grade you need, we can supply it. Alongside our core alloys we source the full range of aluminium grades through our vetted mill network, including marine alloys (e.g. 5251) and free-machining bar for high-speed turning applications.
Best for: Any specialist application. Tell us the grade you want and we’ll supply it, and we’ll always advise on the best choice for your project.

Our Aluminium Extrusion Process
Every extrusion project we handle follows a clear, structured process, from the initial drawing review through to finishing and delivery. Here is what to expect when you work with us.
Step 1 - CAD Design & Consultancy
We review your drawing — ideally a 2D DXF or DWG file — and assess it for extrudability. We will advise on any modifications needed to ensure the profile can be successfully extruded and to minimise the cost of the die.
This step is critical: a well-designed profile reduces die costs, speeds up production, and avoids costly problems further down the line.
Step 2 - Die Development
Once the design is approved, the extrusion die is manufactured by our trusted mill partners. The die is guaranteed for life — as long as you continue to use it, any replacement is covered at no cost to you. Before full production begins, a sample is produced for approval.
Step 3 - Extrusion
The approved profile is extruded at the mill. We work with a carefully selected network of UK and European extrusion mills to ensure the best quality and lead times for your project.
Step 4 - Fabrication & Machining
If your profile requires further processing — cutting to length, drilling, milling, tapping, or more complex machining — we handle this inhouse using our Elumatec SBZ 140 and Haas Super Mini Mill. For specialist processes such as CNC lathing or welding, we work with our trusted subcontractors.

Industries We Work With
We work with manufacturers, designers, and engineers across a wide range of sectors, bringing over 40 years of experience and an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality process to every project, whatever the application.
Aluminium solutions for the transport industry
The transport sector demands components that are lightweight, strong, and built to last. We have a proven track record of supplying precision aluminium extrusions and fabricated components to the transport industry, including lighting systems for Hitachi train carriages.
Aluminium is the material of choice for the transport industry. Its exceptional strength to-weight ratio reduces vehicle weight, improves fuel efficiency, and lowers emissions, without compromising structural integrity. Its natural corrosion resistance makes it ideal for components exposed to the elements, and its design flexibility allows complex profiles to be produced to tight tolerances.
Aluminium solutions for the engineering industry
Engineering applications demand accuracy, consistency, and reliability. We work with engineers and manufacturers across a wide range of disciplines to supply precision aluminium extrusions and machined components that meet the most exacting specifications.
From structural profiles and machine frames to precision-machined components and bespoke assemblies, aluminium is a fundamental material in modern engineering. Its combination of strength, light weight, machinability, and corrosion resistance makes it the preferred choice for a vast range of applications.
Aluminium solutions for the electronics & lighting industry
Aluminium’s thermal conductivity and design flexibility make it the ideal material for electronics enclosures, LED lighting profiles, and heatsink applications. We supply precision extrusions and machined components to manufacturers across
the electronics and lighting sectors.
The electronics and lighting industries place particularly high demands on their aluminium components. Heatsinks must be designed to maximise thermal dissipation. LED lighting profiles must be precise enough to hold optical components in exact alignment. Enclosures must be both functional and aesthetically refined.
Aluminium solutions for the health & medical industry
The medical sector demands the highest standards of quality, traceability, and reliability. We supply precision aluminium extrusions and machined components to medical device manufacturers and healthcare equipment suppliers, backed by our ISO9001:2015 certified quality management system.
Medical and healthcare applications require components that are clean, precise, and produced to a documented, traceable quality standard. Aluminium is widely used in medical equipment for its combination of light weight, strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of sterilisation.
Aluminium solutions for the leisure industry
From sports equipment and outdoor furniture to architectural features in leisure facilities, aluminium’s combination of light weight, strength, and weather resistance makes it the material of choice for leisure applications.
The leisure industry encompasses a wide range of applications, from the structural frames of gym equipment and playground installations to the decorative trims of hospitality interiors. What they all have in common is a need for components that look good, perform reliably, and stand up to sustained use.
Aluminium solutions for the Heating & Ventilation industry
Aluminium’s thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility make it an ideal material for heating and ventilation applications. We supply precision extrusions and fabricated components to manufacturers across the HVAC sector.
Heating and ventilation systems rely on aluminium for its ability to conduct and dissipate heat efficiently, its resistance to the corrosive effects of moisture and condensation, and its light weight, which simplifies installation and reduces structural loading.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminium Extrusions
Some of the questions we are most commonly asked about aluminium extrusion. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, our team is always happy to help.
-
Can you manufacture a custom profile to my design?
Yes. We review all customer drawings for extrudability and work with you to optimise the design before production begins. We can advise on wall thicknesses, radii, and tolerances to ensure the best possible result.
-
What is the minimum order quantity?
We are flexible and can accommodate both small, one-off projects and large ongoing production runs. Standard stock lengths are available for orders of 250kg or above. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
-
What is the typical lead time for a new extrusion?
Die manufacture typically takes 4–6 weeks. Once the die is approved, production lead times vary depending on the mill and the quantity required. We will always provide a clear timeline at the outset.
-
What file format do you need for a drawing?
For profile designs, a 2D drawing in DXF or DWG format is ideal. For machined components, a 3D Step file (.STP) is required so we can program our machining centres accurately.
-
Which aluminium grade should I use?
The right grade depends on your application. 6063 is the most common choice for architectural and general-purpose profiles. We will always advise on the best grade for your specific needs.
