Aluminum Extrusions for Architecture & Building

In short

Buildings use aluminum extrusions for windows, doors, curtain walls, railings, louvres and interior systems because they are durable outdoors, precise enough for glazing and gaskets, and can be finished in almost any color. CharMax supplies architectural profiles in 6063 and 6060 with finishes controlled against approved project samples.

01Architectural applications

Windows & doors

Frames, sashes and mullions for casement, sliding and tilt-turn systems.

Curtain wall

Mullions, transoms, pressure plates and cover caps.

Railings

Posts, handrails and glass channels for balconies and stairs.

Louvres & shading

Blades and frames for ventilation and solar control.

Interiors

Partitions, shopfitting systems, skirting and LED coves.

Cladding sub-frames

Rails and brackets that carry facade panels.

Aluminum formwork

Panel, rib and corner profiles for concrete formwork systems. Formwork profiles.

02Finish control across a project

On a facade, the eye catches small differences in color and gloss between adjacent profiles. We approve master samples with you before production, check each batch against them, and keep reference samples for later phases and repairs.

Read anodizing vs powder coating to choose a finish.

03Delivered the way sites work

  • Protective film on visible faces, applied after finishing
  • Packing and labels by profile, floor, elevation or unit type
  • Delivery phasing that follows the installation sequence
  • Reference samples retained for repeat orders

04Frequently asked questions

What aluminum alloy is used for windows and doors?

6063 and 6060 in T5 or T6 temper. Both extrude complex multi-chamber sections and give excellent anodized and powder-coated surfaces.

How long do architectural aluminum finishes last?

Correctly specified anodizing and high-durability powder coatings last decades outdoors. Durability depends on the class or grade specified for the environment — coastal and industrial sites need higher classes.

Can you supply profiles for a specific window system?

Yes — from your system drawings, with dies reserved for your system and samples approved before production.
