How to choose a profile family for doors, windows, curtain walls and partitions, and what we need to review your enquiry.

01

Profiles for different building systems

Aluminium profiles are used in façades, curtain walls, doors, windows, partitions, roofing and interiors. Each system needs its own section shapes, connections and finishes, with outdoor systems also needing to account for weather exposure.

Identify your system first

Tracks, handles, interlocks, glazing clips and frame sections need to fit together. Identify your system family before choosing a section, then check that the profile matches the other parts. A similar-looking section may not fit.

Show us how it will be installed

Send us the assembly drawing, glass or panel specification, track configuration, critical dimensions and required finish. We’ll use these details to review the profile with you.

Before you confirm a profile

Confirm the profile, material, finish, tolerances and testing against your application and specification before you place an order.
