Extruded Aluminum
Definition
Extruded Aluminum is aluminum that has been forced through a die to form a continuous profile or shape. This process creates uniform sticks of molding that are commonly used for metal picture frames and structural components.
Applications
- Frame moulding for both residential and commercial picture framing.
- Structural components in display systems and signage.
- Lightweight, durable framing solutions for artwork and photographs.
Best Practices
- Cut aluminum profiles with a mitre saw equipped with a blade suitable for non-ferrous metals.
- Use appropriate joining hardware, such as spring clips, to maintain frame integrity.
- Protect the surface during handling to avoid scratches or dents.
- Combine with conservation glazing and acid-free backing for archival framing.
