Architectural
Architectural aluminium profiles form the backbone of modern building construction, encompassing window frames, doors, curtain walls, structural glazing systems, skylights, railings, and decorative façade elements. These profiles deliver exceptional aesthetic versatility combined with superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for both contemporary and traditional architectural designs. The sector demands precision engineering to meet strict building codes, thermal efficiency standards, and architectural specifications while maintaining visual appeal across diverse climates and environments.
Typical Aluminium Alloys Used
- 6063-T5/T6 : Premium choice for architectural windows and doors; excellent extrusion capabilities, superior surface finish, and outstanding corrosion resistance. Tensile strength 170-215 MPa.
- 6082-T5/T6 : Enhanced strength for complex structural glazing and largespan façade systems. Tensile strength 260-310 MPa.
- 6060-T5 : Lighter variant for non-structural decorative profiles and internal partitions.
- 6005-T5 : Specialized alloy for high-performance architectural applications requiring superior surface quality and strength balance.
Surface Finishes
- Anodizing (Type II & III) for enhanced corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal
- Powder coating (PVDF, Polyester) for architectural colour options
- Raw mill finish with protective coatings
- Custom patina finishes for heritage and conservation projects
Market Outlook : Global architectural profile market growing at 7-9% CAGR through 2030, with India representing one of the fastest-growing segments at 10-12% annual growth.
