In the modern construction industry, structures are in great demand various shapes and appointments, made of aluminum alloy. Due to their operational and mechanical characteristics - corrosion resistance, lightness, durability, strength, ductility - the products are used for arranging warehouses, exhibition and shopping complexes, and residential buildings. Aluminum structures are also used in the construction of masts, towers, tanks and dams. Light alloys are used for the aesthetic design of interior decoration elements.
Aluminum structures are most often used in the glazing of translucent facades, door and window blocks, transparent roofs, and office partitions. For this purpose, special profile products are used.
Manufacturing of aluminum structures
According to the requirements of SNiP and GOST, two types of raw materials are used for production:
- non-strengthening aluminum - AMtsM, AMg2P, AD1M and other grades;
- hardened aluminum - ADZ1, 1915-T, 1925-T.
Other varieties are used less frequently, and only if the resulting product meets established standards.
Features of the production of aluminum structures
It is important to consider that with increasing temperature environment the performance properties of the metal deteriorate. This applies to both pure composition and alloys. The coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum is slightly higher than that of steel. For this reason, at the places of joints and interaction of elements with other finishing materials Corrosion may occur. To avoid this, structures in problem areas are painted or protected with special plastic gaskets.
For the manufacture of aluminum structures With the required cross-sectional shape, the technology of forming rolled products under pressure is used. This method is cheaper, less labor-intensive and allows you to obtain an element of any configuration.
Main types of aluminum structures
- Translucent structures. This category includes various systems, which are used for arranging the facades of modern office buildings and shopping centers. There are “cold” and “warm” profiles. In the first version, the product has high thermal conductivity, so it is used only in unheated rooms. For a warm design, a special thermal insert is used, which increases the thermophysical characteristics aluminum profile. Installed in residential and heated buildings.
- Aluminum windows and doors. Entrance groups and window units made of light alloy are considered the most profitable alternative to wooden and steel structures. Such products have many advantages, from long service life to ease of daily maintenance. Aluminum doors, windows and other structures are hard to beat for functionality.
- Partitions. The launch of the production of aluminum partitions made it possible to solve the problem of shortage of free space in office centers. Using lightweight and very mobile elements, you can quickly zone working space. At the same time, aluminum structures with translucent filling visually expand the room, make it more illuminated and convenient for work.
- Stained glass and other decorative elements. At the stage finishing works Stained glass aluminum structures are often used inside and outside the building. This type of decor is a pattern or picture made of colored glass, which is placed in doors or windows, the translucent facade of the building. Aluminum stained glass structures are usually made to order according to an individual or author's design.
Modern production, equipped with advanced equipment and technologies, can produce aluminum structures of any shape and purpose. Profile elements for arranging facades, window blocks and entrances are in high demand.
Advantages of aluminum structures
It is unlikely that aluminum structures would be so in demand if the products did not have numerous advantages.
- Technical simplicity. Aluminum structures are easy to install and operate; they do not require complex maintenance during use. For example, a balcony or loggia small sizes can be glazed in one day with the help of professional craftsmen and with all the necessary tools.
- Environmental Safety. Aluminum does not cause allergic reactions and does not emit substances harmful to humans and the environment into the atmosphere. The hygienic characteristics of the structures meet the requirements of sanitary standards.
- Long period of operation. Resistance to corrosion and point deformation of aluminum profiles ensures long service life of structures - 80 years. The material does not lose its operational properties in conditions high humidity, with temperature differences from −60 to +50 degrees Celsius.
- Lightness and versatility. Aluminum profiles and other types of structures do not load load-bearing elements, so even old facades and balconies can easily withstand frames made of this metal. Using lightweight profiles, you can assemble systems of any shape and size that fit perfectly into the environment.

Aluminum structures
The scope of their application is so vast that it seems that not a single branch of modern life can do without it. Aluminum structures are used in the installation of windows, doors, facade glazing elements of buildings, installation of advertising stands and assembly of retail outlets - and this is only a small part of the list. Aluminum is strong, lightweight, durable and yet easy to use. Well, firstly, it’s worth saying that the production of aluminum structures is carried out through the casting and stamping process from ingots aluminum alloys. Since aluminum structures are often exposed to the external environment, the profiles are subjected to anodic oxidation - an electrochemical treatment that counteracts the effects of corrosion on metal constructions. To assemble large-sized products, profiles can be cut into assembly elements. Installation is not complicated and a fairly quick process. Such structures are easy to assemble and disassemble, which greatly facilitates the moving process. Aluminum, unlike other metals, is practically not subject to corrosion, which makes it an ideal material for façade structures. Such designs are absolutely safe for the environment. The material is non-toxic, does not oxidize and does not emit substances harmful to humans and nature. No special cleaning required for cleaning detergents. They are easy to clean with plain water.
Manufacturing of aluminum structures
We offer a wide range of profiles for various purposes. Our company produces structures both according to standard drawings and to individual orders. We also carry out measurements of premises for rational placement of trade modules. You can download the price list from our website or call us by phone and get answers to all your questions.

The price is formed from several indicative factors. The first of these is the material itself from which the products are created. Its value is formed on the basis of current exchange conditions, reflecting world prices for metals. It is worth noting that today the price tag is low, so the design is similar. The next important indicator is the product parameters. The larger the dimensions, the higher the price. Standardization will also be important - standard design options are cheaper than custom-made ones.

Application of aluminum structures
Durability, wear resistance, environmental friendliness, and resistance to natural atmospheric conditions have determined the popularity of aluminum structures. Today they are in demand in various sectors of construction and finishing. Installation of such structures is carried out in different types buildings, achieving a reduction in the pressure of the total mass of the building on the foundation. It is worth noting such a distinctive quality as the versatility of the material. Products of any shape can be made from aluminum, so that they can be used in future where standard options are not suitable. For example, for glazing in exhibition and shopping centers, sports complexes and residential buildings. Especially when it comes to panoramic glazing. Can be used not only to decorate walls and windows, but also ceilings. This architectural solution will be stylish and remain relevant, regardless of interior fashion. In general, it is worth noting not only the aesthetics, but also the practicality of such design options, as well as the fact that after completion of their service life they can be recycled for further use. Largely due to this fact, aluminum structures are chosen as an alternative for various profile projects.

Aluminum structures are often used by designers to create interesting projects. They allow you to create separate zones in a room, glaze facades, and are 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, attractive in appearance, and 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.
Aluminum profile greenhouse
Modern architecture tends towards visual lightness; structures made of aluminum profiles fit well into these parameters, thanks to the small thickness of which you can turn a massive structure into an airy-looking 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, 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 a warm profile and double-glazed windows.
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.
Roof winter garden made of aluminum structures
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 inherent shopping centers and some residential multi-storey buildings. Thanks to this solution, you can save on lighting, since most days will act naturally.

Advantages of designs
The use of aluminum structures allows you to gain maximum benefits by making the glazing system functional and increasing its performance due to correctly 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 shapes, 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, and do not notice their changes. Modern technologies allow you to save on heating thanks to hermetic seals aluminum facades, capable of retaining heat well inside buildings.
Panoramic glazing
In addition, it is not required extra costs for lighting. Transparent glass provides maximum daylight, which is important in retail spaces, residential premises, and 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 when 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. It is discreet, has a pleasant color, and 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 maintain a certain style or fulfill a design intent.
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 in many ways irreplaceable, inexpensive and quality material which is great for various kinds works both on the outside of the 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 of new real estate. Aluminum as a material has all the necessary characteristics to create products that meet the most modern requirements for safety, functionality, manufacturability and visual appeal of window, door and facade systems.
