Enquiry Checklist
Understanding these key considerations before submitting your enquiry helps us provide you with the most accurate quote and speeds up the entire process. Please review the checklist below to ensure you have all the necessary information ready.
Alloy
The most common alloys used for aluminium extrusions are:
6063: Suitable for detailed sections of medium strength. High corrosion resistance, excellent surface finish and responds well to decorative anodising.
6463: Mostly used for decorative bright profiles and architectural applications. Excellent surface finish with superior brightness and responds exceptionally well to decorative anodising.
6082: The recommended alloy for structural applications with good strength and general corrosion resistance. Although can be anodised for increased surface protection it is not recommended for decorative anodising.
Other alloys are available upon request.
Surface Finishing
Will your section require surface finishing? The two most common treatments are anodising or powder coating. Please see our dedicated pages for further information on aluminium surface finishing.
If you require your section to be supplied as mill finish (as extruded) please let us know if you will be surface treating at a later stage, so we can ensure the most suitable product offer.
Length
What finished length do you require your sections to be supplied in? Do you have a particular tight tolerance on the length you require? Sections are normally extruded in lengths between 3.0 and 6.5 metres long. We are able to offer in-house cutting should you require shorter lengths.
Machining
Is machining required on your section? We are able to offer a full machining service including machining, drilling, mitre cutting and hole tapping. See our aluminium extrusion machining pages for further details.
Packaging
Do you have particular packaging requirements? These may include pack dimensions or maximum number of pieces per pack. Some customers require little or no packaging to help minimise their waste disposal requirements. Let us know your preferences.
Quality Specification
Please provide a detailed quality specification for your section. This will help us to ensure that the section meets your requirements.
Quantity
Along with your design please let us know your usage (anticipated or actual) so we can ensure the correct manufacturing route and commercial offer is made for your needs.
