Why Choose Custom Aluminum Extrusions
When building our homes, we will need to use aluminum extrusions as a construction material. So what about choosing a standard aluminum extrusion or a custom one? Let’s explore the differences today.
1. Production method and flexibility:
Custom aluminum profiles:
Hugh Aluminum will be personalized and produced according to the customer’s specific needs and project requirements. This production method ensures precise dimensions, special shapes and the desired properties of the aluminum profile.
Custom aluminum profiles offer a high degree of flexibility in terms of shape, size, surface treatment, etc.
Standard aluminum profiles:
It usually refers to aluminum profiles that are produced in large quantities according to standard specifications and dimensions to meet the general demand in the market. Wholesale aluminum profiles have more fixed specifications and are relatively less flexible.
2. Application Areas:
Custom Aluminum Profiles:
Due to its high degree of flexibility and customizability, customized aluminum profiles are widely used in areas requiring special shapes, sizes and properties. For example, high-end architecture, aerospace, precision instruments, etc.
Wholesale Aluminum Profiles:
Mainly used in areas with general needs such as building doors and windows, decorative materials, mechanical equipment, etc.
3. Performance and Characteristics:
Custom Aluminum Extrusion:
It can be based on the specific needs of the project, and we will make special design and optimization for the strength, corrosion resistance and heat insulation performance of the aluminum profiles.
In addition, customized aluminum profiles can also be added with special elements or special treatments as needed to meet specific performance requirements.
Standard aluminum extrusion:
Usually has more stable properties, such as light weight, corrosion resistance and easy processing.
However, it may not be as good as custom aluminum extrusion in terms of specific performance requirements.
4. Price:
Custom Aluminum Extrusion:
It is usually more expensive due to the need for individualized design and production. However, given their ability to meet specific project requirements, custom aluminum profiles may be more advantageous in terms of overall cost-effectiveness.
Standard Aluminum Extrusion:
It is produced on a large scale with uniform specifications and its price is relatively low. Wholesale it is the more cost-effective option for areas of general demand.
5. delivery time and production efficiency:
Customized Aluminum Extrusion:
Due to the need for personalized design and production, its delivery time is usually longer. However, the production efficiency of customized profiles is increasing as production technology continues to advance and customized production processes are optimized.
Wholesale aluminum profiles:
Due to the large scale of production and uniform specifications, the production efficiency of wholesale aluminum profiles is higher and the delivery time is relatively shorter.
In summary
Customized aluminum extrusion and wholesale aluminum extrusion are significantly different in terms of production methods, application areas, performance and characteristics, price and cost, as well as delivery time and production efficiency.
When we choose, we should weigh and choose according to the specific needs and budget of the project.
