The two aluminium extrusions are separated from each other by the polyamide strips. This allows the inside and outside of these types of profiles to have different colours. In addition, polyamide has a very good dimensional stability owing to its extremely small expansion coefficient. Polyamide is specifically resistant to very high and very low temperatures. The insertion of the strips therefore has no effect on the structural strength and durability of your window profiles. All this ensures that thermal break profiles offer almost unlimited possibilities in terms of aesthetics and design.
In the doors segment, aluminium extrusion profiles offer numerous advantages over traditional materials such as wood or uPVC. One significant application is in the manufacturing of entrance doors, where aluminium profiles provide exceptional strength and security. The inherent rigidity of aluminium extrusions makes it difficult to break or damage, ensuring the safety of the building’s occupants.
The installation process of a weldable lock box involves precise measurements to create a perfect fit within the gate's metalwork. Once measured and prepared, the lock box is then welded directly onto the gate, forming an impenetrable barrier around the lock. This method of installation ensures that the lock box becomes an integral part of the gate, making it incredibly challenging to remove without detection.The Multifaceted Benefits of a Stainless Steel Box with Lock
1. Top-Mounted Rollers These rollers are attached to the top of the window sash. They are less visible and allow for a clean appearance. Top-mounted rollers are often used in heavy-duty applications where added support is needed.

The first step in adjusting screen door rollers is identifying the type of roller system your door uses. There are primarily two types rollers that slide within tracks and rollers that attach directly to the door frame with screws or clips. Each system has its unique adjustment method.After the finished product has been crafted, the individual components of the many types of ornamental fences go through several procedures, including priming and powder coating, before being packaged and made ready for shipment from the producer to the various distributors.
When selecting track door rollers, it is important to consider several factors. First and foremost, the size and weight of the door should be taken into account. Rollers that are too small or lightweight may not be able to support the weight of the door, leading to premature wear and potential damage. Conversely, rollers that are too large or heavy may be difficult to install and may cause the door to bind or stick in the track Conversely, rollers that are too large or heavy may be difficult to install and may cause the door to bind or stick in the trackStart by examining the entire fence to understand its construction and how each segment is connected. This includes identifying all fastening points, such as bolts, screws, and any welded joints.
When adjusting rollers that attach directly to the frame, safety is paramount. Begin by closing the door and securely locking it to prevent it from swinging open during adjustment Begin by closing the door and securely locking it to prevent it from swinging open during adjustmentWhile the initial cost of aluminum window frames may be slightly higher than that of traditional wood or vinyl frames, their long-term benefits make them a cost-effective choice. Due to their durability and low maintenance needs, homeowners save money in the long run through reduced replacement and upkeep costs. Additionally, the energy efficiency gains lead to lower utility bills, offering further savings over time.
Gate construction is a big one to watch out for too. Unlike a fence panel that is fixed in place and does not move, the gates need to be able to support the weight of the entire leaf as well as any leverage force pressures exerted on them. This is where a proper gate frame comes into play. Many companies will simply weld two posts to the end of a fence section and call it a gate. Functional, but not really all that strong. You will sometimes see cross-bracing on wider gates as a band-aid to poor construction as well. The correct way to make a gate is with a fully boxed and welded gate frame like our Stronghold Iron line. That makes a solid, 3-sided frame that will withstand way more pressure and weight without cracking or deforming. Here is an image showing the U-frame on one of our gates.
