Aluminum structures are often used by designers to create interesting projects. They allow you to form separate zones indoors, glazing facades, used in other areas of construction. Aluminum is a lightweight, unpretentious material, the cost of which is much lower than its analogues, which makes it popular for construction and design.
Where are aluminum structures used?
Most often, such structures are used for glazing balconies and loggias, finishing facades, creating necessary elements indoor decor.
Balcony glazed with aluminum profile
Aluminum is well suited for residential and office premises, useful in production. The material is highly durable, lightweight, appearance attractive, can be painted in any color if necessary. The metal does not blacken, does not rust, and does not require additional protection from moisture, which makes it ideal for outdoor use.
Greenhouse from aluminum profile
Modern architecture tends towards visual lightness; aluminum profile structures fit well into these parameters, thanks to the small thickness of which you can turn a massive structure into an airy one glass structure. Finishing the facade in this way is possible both for private buildings and skyscrapers; An example of this is glass skyscrapers in the USA.
Advice: in order for the facade to last a long time and look decent, it is important that installation and design are carried out by professionals. This work should be entrusted to specialized companies.
What are aluminum structures suitable for?
Aluminum is a universal material, which allows it to be used in most areas of construction. Using this metal you can create glass stairs, entrance groups, canopies, glazing frames.
Aluminum profile doors
They are used quite widely and are often used in places where insulation is not required, although an insulated profile can also be selected. These doors are lightweight, durable, at an affordable price. The shape and method of opening can be any, just like the inserted glass unit. The number of sashes and opening mechanism may differ .
Aluminum Exterior Doors
Aluminum windows
Aluminum is good for creating window frames. Similar to doors, designs may differ in size and opening method. They are often equipped with thick modern double-glazed windows.
If you want to get a well-insulated structure, you need to use warm profile and double glazing.
Creation of winter gardens, canopies, roofs
Winter gardens are often located in the yard or made into a separate room of the house. A frame is created from an aluminum profile on which the glazing is fixed. It misses large quantities light, which allows plants to be in comfortable conditions. Using the same technology, you can fence off an office or residential space and create the desired temperature regime in it.

Atriums
This concept appeared in Russian architecture relatively recently. This is part of the building, panoramic glazed and having a rounded shape. Most often, this type of glazing is typical for shopping centers and some residential multi-storey buildings. Thanks to this solution, you can save on lighting, since most of the day will be natural.

Advantages of designs
Usage aluminum structures allows you to gain maximum benefits by making the glazing system functional and increasing its performance through properly selected glass elements. It is important to decide on the type of fastening.
Aluminum allows the use of structures fixed in different planes, both horizontal and vertical. Due to this, you can bring to life any idea of a designer or architect, creating frames with different angles, shapes, using them for the construction of walls, partitions, decorative elements, arches, roofs and much more. Aluminum structures are suitable for doorways non-standard forms, go well with modern design facades and interiors.
Thanks to aluminum structures, you can create panoramic stained glass windows, transparent walls, panoramic glazing. Such systems meet safety requirements and have long term services, are not exposed to precipitation and aggressive substances, are not afraid of high and low temperatures, do not notice their differences. Modern technologies allow you to save on heating, thanks to hermetic aluminum facades that can retain heat well inside buildings.
Panoramic glazing
In addition, it is not required extra costs for lighting. Transparent glasses give maximum daylight, which is relevant in trading floors, residential premises, office buildings. You can use special glasses that can not only transmit light, but also filter out ultraviolet rays. This will make the room more transparent in the summer.
Aluminum profiles for facade glazing structures are superior to other materials, since plastic is too heavy and expensive, like steel, wood swells from moisture and is not able to bear such a load and may crack. Aluminum structures do not deform, retain their shape, and do not change under the influence of ambient temperature, as does plastic, which can contract and expand in different time of the year.
An important advantage of aluminum is its low weight, which allows it to be used not only in creating tall structures, but also in places where load capacity is limited, for example dilapidated balconies of old houses.
Ventilated aluminum facade
The material boasts visual appeal. He is discreet, has Nice colour, can be painted in any other shade. There are technologies that allow you to disguise an aluminum profile as any type of wood, even repeating its structure, which makes it indistinguishable from solid wood at a great distance. This technique is relevant if you need to withstand certain style or fulfill a design plan.
Installation of aluminum structures takes little time. Professionally trained workers are required, but assembly of facades is possible in sections. The better and more accurately the installation is carried out, the more airtight the structure. With this solution, you can quickly expand the room by creating additional space in the form of a glass-covered pavilion. For example, this could be a heated winter garden attached to the house.
A aluminum is a largely irreplaceable, inexpensive and high-quality material that is excellent for various kinds works like with outside facade and inside any building.
Aluminum structures are installed everywhere, in any conditions, at facilities for almost any purpose: in residential, public and commercial buildings, cultural, industrial and sports facilities, during reconstruction and construction new real estate. Aluminum as a material has all the necessary characteristics to create products that meet the most modern requirements to the safety, functionality, manufacturability and visual appeal of window, door and facade systems.

A little about duralumin
According to history, the first alloy that was produced at the beginning of the nineteenth century was duralumin. At first, no industrial application was found for it, since the cost of production was very high. For the first fifty years it was sold for much more than gold. Only at the beginning of the twentieth century were physicists able to master the technology that made it possible to produce duralumin on a scale sufficient to reduce the price. And also to saturate the market of that time.
Copper and manganese give duralumin special strength characteristics. The addition of these elements further enhances rigidity. Obtaining these qualities entails the inevitable appearance of disadvantages: duralumin cannot be subjected to welding; for stamping work, the alloy must be subjected to heat treatment. The workpieces are connected using bolted connections or use riveting.

The production of parts from aluminum alloys begins with the development of a project and the selection of high-quality raw materials. Market Russian Federation saturated varied material, such as boxing, corner, profile, round pipe, rods, sheet material.
For the manufacture of metal structures from aluminum, there are no problems with the choice. Aluminum profiles are prepared and processed on metal-cutting machines and equipment for various purposes, depending on processing requirements. The manufacture of structures from light alloys does not involve fire cutting of metal. For the production of metal structures from aluminum it is required modern equipment and trained, experienced specialists are a guarantee of producing a quality product that satisfies any client.
When welding a structure made of aluminum, you need to take into account the characteristics of this material - aluminum does not dissolve its oxides. As a result, a poor-quality seam with defects may result. Therefore, in the manufacture of metal structures, Tig welding is used using an argon-helium mixture or highly purified argon. The edges of the workpieces also need to be cleaned or etched.
Custom aluminum designs
A quarter of the ore mined on the planet is spent on the production of aluminum structures in construction. There is nothing to be surprised - the use of high-quality raw materials, thoughtful design, and modern mechanical processing has allowed this metal to gain authority and trust in the world market. durable, well adapted to aggressive environments, are very technologically advanced, multifunctional, and fit perfectly into modern design.

Areas of application
Many are accustomed to the fact that the production of aluminum structures is limited to two common areas. More often we're talking about about the manufacture of either windows or doors. However, weight, ductility and decorative qualities aluminum greatly expand the scope of its application in a wide variety of fields. Here are just a few common options where you can use translucent structures made of aluminum profiles.
- Winter gardens. In the manufacture of aluminum structures of this type, translucent materials are additionally used. A winter garden can be arranged in a private house or cottage, making it part of administrative building or educational institution.
- Atriums. In this case, an aluminum frame will create a harmonious image of the rounded part of the building, to which the floor corridors will adjoin. Manufacturing of aluminum atriums is possible in private residences and office buildings large companies, shopping centers.
- Anti-aircraft lights. The manufacture of structures from aluminum profiles is in demand for purely utilitarian purposes. Namely, to provide the building with an additional flow of natural light. Aluminum profile complex shape allows for rational use of energy resources.
- Post-transom, structural and half-facades. They differ from traditional solutions in the way they are manufactured and in their location. In the production of aluminum structures for facades, translucent elements are used various shapes, and the profile can be painted in any shade from the RAL catalog.
- Partitions. Most often, office owners order the production of aluminum profile structures. Translucent doors can be installed in them.
A complex aluminum profile allows you to create smooth and sharp transitions, bends, turns, and visors during the manufacturing process. Combining them different ways, you can bring to life solutions of amazing beauty and functionality.
Possibilities for effective use of aluminum structures
The production of custom-made aluminum structures and their subsequent installation at sites can effectively solve several problems at once:
- allows for rational use of energy resources– when aluminum is complemented with glass or double-glazed windows, it becomes possible to provide the room with the maximum amount of natural light;
- protects against ultraviolet radiation– this is possible if special multifunctional glass is inserted into the aluminum profile;
- saves heating and air conditioning costs– a similar effect is achieved by complex aluminum structures using low-emissivity glass.
Physico-chemical features of aluminum profile
The profile, in the production of which this lightweight and practical material, very durable - can last up to 70 years or more if operating recommendations are followed. Thus, the production of aluminum structures can be considered profitable investment funds. Moreover, throughout its entire service life, this material is able to maintain its original characteristics. Aluminum is not subject to corrosion and tolerates contact with water well. He is not critical thermal expansion, it does not deform under conditions of sudden changes in temperature and humidity. Aluminum is also very flexible, so it can easily take a given shape. This is especially important for design engineers and designers who use this property for their own purposes - bending it, making turns and achieving non-standard shapes.
