Aluminum rails

Why has aluminum become the metal of choice around the world?

Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal that today finds a super wide application, both in industry and construction, as well as in everyday life. Aluminum is characterized by very good properties and qualities when it comes to choosing a suitable metal for structures and projects that must meet certain requirements for weight, tensile strength and pressure.

• Aluminum has an enviable lightness compared to other types of metals such as steel, iron and is lighter than other non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass and others. This quality makes it the number one metal for constructions where total weight is of primary importance. Aluminum constructions are lighter compared to iron, steel and copper ones.
• At the same time, it has anti-corrosion properties and does not allow rust to take over and damage it, even when it is exposed to various external atmospheric influences and moisture.
• Aluminum is a durable and long-lasting metal that has an enviably long service life. It does not corrode, is not damaged by moisture, does not oxidize, is not affected by various types of chemicals and at the same time can be used both at higher positive and lower temperatures and cold and adverse weather.
• Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal that is malleable because it can be bent, cut, anchored, welded, and more. At the same time, it is subject to loading.
• Aluminum is very suitable for structures that are subject to assembly and disassembly over a certain period of time, as well as for more frequent relocation.

These positive properties make aluminum quite often the preferred choice, and today it can be found in a number of industries such as shipbuilding, aviation, transportation, automotive, energy, and others.

Types of aluminum flat profiles

Aluminum flat profiles are also known under the name "aluminum rails" and are an aluminum profile with a length of 6 meters, which is characterized by flatness, smoothness and can be of different thickness and width.

• The aluminum rails at Smart Metal Group come in thicknesses from 2mm to 10mm to meet the needs of your project.
• The width of the rails available in our online store is from 20 mm to 170 mm.

Aluminum rails can also be cut to your size and pre-submitted job.

Application of aluminum rails

Aluminum busbars are mainly used for the construction of bus systems and electrical installations, as well as for configurations in electrical engineering. They are mainly used in low-voltage projects, to create power distribution equipment, and in a number of other areas of power supply. In this direction, aluminum bus systems compete with copper ones. Both types have both a number of advantages and certain disadvantages. However, aluminum busbar systems are corrosion resistant and suitable for higher traffic locations.

In domestic and everyday life, aluminum is also widely used. Aluminum square profiles and aluminum angles are often used for the manufacture of various shelves, furniture and furnishings. Aluminum pipes are mainly used for pipe constructions for the yard and garden, as well as for the transportation of liquids. And aluminum rails are most often found in furniture and decorative elements.

What are the most common applications of aluminum flat profiles (rails)?

• In automobile, air, wagon, ship and machine building. Mainly for thresholds, pages or for covering.
• They participate in the construction of thermal insulation systems, facades and ventilation systems, since flat aluminum profiles are not susceptible to corrosion.
• Aluminum is increasingly used to create original and non-standard solutions and projects for furniture, furnishings, interior and decorative elements in houses, buildings, offices and even at home.
• Aluminum rails are also used in the construction of windows, doors, sliding systems, sliding doors, interior partitions and others.
• Profiles, angles, sheets and rails are used to create different types of racks, shelves, shelves and small structures such as market stalls, stands, greenhouses and winter gardens.
• They are often used in the construction and installation of outdoor advertising, commercial and exhibition equipment.
• They can be used as front, transverse and longitudinal elements, to cover and protect from sharp edges, gaps and to cover disturbed elements.
• They serve to build and dress computer cases to protect computer components.
