An aluminum profile or extrusion, also called “aluminum frame” is made from the extrusion process, and comes in various textures, colors and brightness.
To learn more about what an aluminum profile is and the kinds of extrusions offered by Profall, go on reading. In this page you will find the answer to the most common questions such as:
Standard profiles
Special extrusions
Custom profiles
Aluminum profiles are products born from aluminum alloys that are transformed into shaped objects through the extrusion process. Aluminum’s unique combination of physical characteristics mostly depends on this process.
Aluminum extrusions are used in several fields because this metal is:
Therefore, aluminum is employed in a growing number of manufacturing needs, including the production of components for international space stations or in nuclear power plants.
Now that we have answered the question “What is an aluminum profile?”, we can go through the existing kinds of extruded profiles.
In fact, considering that at Profall’s we are specialized in the full or partial customization of aluminum extruded profiles, we can say that there exist countless kinds. Yet it is more practical dividing them into two main categories:
Each aluminum extrusion profile is available in a wide range of different sizes and can be made with different aluminum alloys according to its destination.
Standard profiles are those available in our basic catalog, and include fifteen different shapes applied in various fields. In this first group you find aluminum corner profiles, duct and double-duct profiles, square and round tubes and pipes, T-tracks, U channels and Z profiles, flat, round and square bars.
The catalog of our standard aluminum shapes includes:
Aluminum corner extrusion with even sides
Aluminum corner extrusion with uneven sides
Aluminum double duct profiles
Aluminum flat bar
Aluminum flat bars with rounded edges

Special profiles are complex shapes mostly used in the construction and furniture sector, in the automotive field and in the transport industry. We can mention, for instance, aluminum borders with screw attachments, drainers and water deflectors, glazing extrusions, picture frames, trim profiles for vehicles, corner elements with special sections, aluminum handles and handrails are just some of the special profiles we manufacture every day.
The catalog of our special aluminum shapes includes:
Aluminum borders with screw attachments
Aluminum curve profiles
Aluminum drainers and water deflectors
Aluminum glazing extrusions
Aluminum picture frames
Aluminum trim profiles for motor vehicles
Corner elements with special cross-sections

On request, we can study a special design depending on what kind of aluminum profile is right for you.
As a matter of fact, Profall’s specialty is the production of fully customized profiles that have extremely tiny dimensional tolerances – a thing which is often hard to find on the common aluminum market – and are made with different aluminum alloys according to the aimed use.
To be able to do this, we constantly invest in R&D as well as in technical staff so as to guarantee a cutting-edge-level of detail during processes like:
For instance, we have produced tailor-made aluminum profiles for designer brands such as Thierry Mugler, for architects’ studios, for the city of Doha in Qatar and the likes.
Aluminum profiles, with their versatility and durability, have found their way into a myriad of applications across various industries.
Below is an overview of some of the key sectors where these profiles are extensively utilized, highlighting their diverse functionalities:
These applications underscore the adaptability and essential role of aluminum profiles in advancing technology, sustainability, and design across industries.
In addition to the above listed technical advantages of calling Profall to make your aluminum profiles, we put great attention to customer satisfaction.

Advantages of the aluminum extrusion process
1. Durable
The corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance, and weather resistance of aluminum are some of its most meaningful advantages. Aluminum naturally rusts and resists corrosion without additional treatment. This is because of the presence of a thin, naturally formed aluminum oxide protective film on its surface. By anodizing, its corrosion resistance becomes stronger.
For example, in an outdoor environment, 25-micron anodization can be performed, which both enhances corrosion resistance and improves surface finish. Plus, aluminum requires no maintenance and, in most cases, can be anti-corrosion.
2. Light and strong
Aluminum is over 33% lighter than steel while retaining most of its strength. The tensile strength range of most aluminum alloys is about 70–700 MPa, while the density is two-thirds less than steel.
Product design engineers do not need to worry about the strength of aluminum extrusion parts, which can be used as structural parts in the construction industry and automotive industry and are the best substitute for other metal materials. The automotive industry is heavily using aluminum alloys in order to reduce weight and reduce energy consumption.
3. Good thermal conductivity
Aluminum conducts heat similarly to copper but is much lighter.
Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat, and we contour aluminum extrusions to maximize heat transfer surface area and thermal pathways. A typical example is a computer CPU cooler, where aluminum is used to remove heat from the CPU.
4. Stylish appearance
Extruded aluminum can be painted, plated, polished, and anodized, giving engineers a wider choice of appearance than other materials.
5. Wide range of applications
Basically, any section shape can be formed by aluminum extrusion, so the application range of aluminum extrusion is very wide, and engineers can design different sections to meet the requirements of different application environments.
6. Easy secondary processing
Aluminum extrusions can be easily formed, cut, drilled, machined, stamped, bent, and welded to suit specific purposes.
7. Short mold processing cycle and low cost
The die of aluminum extrusion is simple, the processing cycle is short, and the cost is low.
8. Absorb shock and deformation
In construction, #aluminumextrusions resist deformation caused by weather and construction movements. In transportation vehicles, impact energy can be absorbed. Aluminum extrusions maintain strength and flexibility under load and rebound from impact.
9. Environmental friendly
Aluminum is an environmentally friendly material and is easy to recycle.
