01

Begin with the profile family

Our catalogue groups profiles into families. Start with the family closest to your application: architectural tubes, partitions, sliding systems, casements, curtain walls, kitchens, railings or specialised profiles.

02

Include the section number in your enquiry

The section number tells us exactly which profile you’re asking about. Send it with your intended use and required quantity so we can review the same section with you.

  • Section or family reference
  • Critical dimensions
  • Required length and quantity
  • Intended application
  • Required finish and packaging
03

Check how the profile fits your assembly

A section may have the right overall dimensions but still need checking for wall thickness, connections and operating conditions. Send us a drawing of the surrounding assembly so we can review how the profile fits.

If you need a custom profile

If the catalogue does not have a suitable section, talk to us about a custom profile. Tell us how you plan to use it and send a drawing showing the shape, dimensions and connections you need.
