Aluminum T-Profile: features, models and prices

Discover the range of single or double aluminum T-profiles

Aluminum profiles come in various shapes with different cross-sections and are used to create modular systems in a wide range of industries, from industrial to aerospace. One of the most popular types is the aluminum T-profile, available in standard sizes, both in single and double versions. However, Casal Aluminium can also create custom profiles based on the customer’s specifications, ensuring maximum flexibility.

What is an aluminum T-profile?

The aluminum profile is the result of the industrial extrusion process. A billet is placed in a specialized furnace at extremely high temperatures (between 400 and 500 degrees Celsius) to soften the metal, which is then pushed through an extruder. This extruder presses the aluminum through a die, giving the material its desired shape. One of the most requested shapes is the T-profile, which is available in a wide range of sizes. The classic version of the aluminum T-profile consists of two perpendicular segments of equal length and thickness. The segment referred to as “height” is positioned at the center of the “base” segment, forming a T-shape with two 90-degree angles. There is also the double T aluminum profile, also known as an H-profile, characterized by two bases and a single height segment.

Aluminum T-Profiles: features and dimensions

As mentioned earlier, T-profiles are characterized by their T-shape. The “height” segment intersects the “base” segment at its center, creating two 90-degree angles. Both segments share the same length and thickness, resulting in a profile with important features: it’s durable, lightweight, rust-resistant, and highly adaptable for use in various applications and projects. The quality of the profile also depends on the aluminum alloy used in its production. Casal Aluminium uses only top-tier light alloys, such as EN-AW.1070A, EN-AW-6060, EN-AW-6063, EN-AW-6063A, EN-AW-6005, EN-AW-6005A, EN-AW-6082, EN-AW-6101, EN-AW-6061, and EN-AW-6101B, to manufacture its extrusions.

Single T-Profile in Aluminum

Aluminum T-profiles are available in various sizes, with standard dimensions varying in the length and thickness of the two segments. Standard sizes start at 10 millimeters in both base and height, with a thickness of 1.5 millimeters, and go up to a maximum of 80 millimeters in base and height with a thickness of 8 millimeters. Naturally, as the dimensions increase, so does the weight. For example, a one-meter-long profile can weigh between 0.08 kg and 3.28 kg. Upon request, customized extrusions with different dimensions, shapes, and designs can be created. A popular example is joint covers, which resemble standard aluminum T-profiles but feature a rounded edge on the base segment for easier installation, protecting joints in walls, floors, panels, and more.

In this regard, Casal Aluminium is the ideal reference point, offering a wide range of solutions tailored to the needs of any client. Through a collaborative design process with the customer, the company can create a custom product that perfectly meets specific requirements, with ideal dimensions, thicknesses, and tolerances for any application. This type of profile is used in various sectors, including construction, automotive, heating, and many more, as we will discuss further.

Double T-Profile in Aluminum

Though less well-known among the general public, double T aluminum profiles are among the most in-demand extruded products due to their unique properties: they are highly resistant to impact and temperature changes, durable, provide excellent mechanical performance, and are very lightweight. Like single T-profiles, they fall within the standard profile category and come in common commercial dimensions. However, in the double T version, the length of the height and base segments differs. Custom profiles can also be requested, both in terms of size and in terms of finishing and processing.

Uses of aluminum T-Profiles

The applications of aluminum T-profiles are virtually limitless. They are primarily used for finishing and joining purposes, with common applications in furniture design and flooring. However, their industrial uses extend far beyond these fields, reaching sectors such as construction, mechanics, automotive, and electromechanics. DIY enthusiasts also appreciate these versatile, lightweight elements, as they can easily be cut and adapted to various needs. Thanks to their characteristics, these profiles are perfect for both indoor and outdoor environments. The double T aluminum profiles, due to their lightness, versatility, and excellent mechanical performance, are the top choice for structural uses in construction, mechanical, electromechanical, and furniture sectors.
