Uses of Aluminum Extrusions
When it comes to building and construction materials, custom aluminum extrusions are truly a unique product. These extrusions are fabricated by “force-feeding” aluminum alloy materials into a custom die to produce a customized cross-sectional profile.
While manufacturing is technically advanced, extruded aluminum is similar to squeezing dental toothpaste out of a tube. At Offshore Direct Metals, we provide a wide range of finished custom aluminum extrusions to architects, engineers, builders, and various manufacturers.
Offshore Direct Metals provides finished extrusions in fully customized shapes, angles, and/or channels. And today, we find many more end-users realizing the benefits and advantages of our products. We also supply customers with the highest quality aluminum plate products.
Because the team at OD Metals is specialized, we take the risk and guesswork out of ordering aluminum extrusions and aluminum plates. More than that, we do everything from end to end so that customers have little to worry about when considering out-sourcing their needs.
Common Items Made With Aluminum Extrusions
The range of products and applications associated with aluminum extrusions is huge. In the transportation industry, extrusions are used in automobiles, aircraft, and even spacecraft. In the building supply industry, extrusions are used in roofing, eavestroughs, and wall partitions.
As for household applications, aluminum extrusion products are used in kitchen appliances, home electronics, and a host of hardware products. Outdoor applications are particularly well suited because the aluminum itself can withstand summer/winter weather extremes.
Even in the sporting goods sector, aluminum extrusions are widely used – everything from fitness equipment, to archery sets, to recreational bicycles, to sports equipment. All of these aluminum products can be effectively and efficiently recycled and re-manufactured at the end of life.
