Types of T-shaped aluminum profile and its application

The aluminum T-profile has a wide range of applications. This rolled product, despite its composition, has significant hardness and high strength, therefore it is used in structures designed for difficult operating conditions associated with significant mechanical stress.

Tavr, as professionals call the T-shaped aluminum profile, has a number of advantages, which is explained by its positive characteristics, which are important for both installation and operation.

• The product is endowed high stiffness coefficient, since at the manufacturing stage, soft metal undergoes processing that makes the material resistant to heavy physical exertion.
• Plastic - no less useful quality of a rolled metal product, which allows it to be used for the design of residential premises. Moreover, you can change its condition and appearance on your own due to the flexibility of aluminum.
• Taurus light, and this simplifies any construction, production and repair work associated with its installation. Also, the low weight determines the affordable cost of the product.
• Aluminum T-profile invulnerable to the negative effects of heat and cold, does not collapse due to chemical and mechanical stress, that is, it is a wear-resistant material.
• Profile of this alloy durable, if not used in extremely difficult, extreme conditions.
• The aluminum profile can be given not only any shape, but also color (up to 200 different shades) - this useful quality is actively used by specialists in the field of decoration.
• Aluminum element with groove, docking or decorative, easy to install, but also its application involves simplified dismantling and improvement of various structures. The machine version of the profile is used for interior cladding of premises, and in suspended structures the product is used as a guiding element.
• No care for such parts is provided - they do not need to be cleaned or painted, it is clear that this is a significant savings in operation.

All these advantages of the T-shaped product make it possible to use it for external and internal finishing work. This is why the aluminum profile so often used in street designs - this is due to the ability of the metal to form an oxide film on the surface when interacting with oxygen, and it protects it from corrosive processes that cause the destruction of the material structure.

But the anodized product can also be obtained through an artificial electrochemical oxidation process. Such a coating on aluminum provides for the use of special technologies and other material parameters, in accordance with the existing GOST standards.

Tees with a T-shaped section differ in a number of characteristics, which include the length and size of products, strength factor, methods of hardening, annealing and aging of the metal in order to strengthen it. Parameters such as the composition and accuracy of the workpiece are also important.But in any case, products made of pure aluminum are considered to be of the highest quality.

The protective layer on the profile surface can be different. Usually the material is produced:

• devoid of any processing;
• with polymer powder coating;
• processed by anodic oxidation.

Aluminum elements can be divided into several types, designed for specific purposes and areas of use:

• models for mounting suspended ceiling structures;

• corner modifications (corners);

• brands used for the production of door (mud-cleaning) gratings;

• profiles required for the installation of aluminum composite panels, light boxes, any outdoor advertising structures;

• products that are widespread in work related to fixing polycarbonate structures.

Also, these are ordinary parts, differing in cross-section in the form of a triangle, square, or rectangle, used in construction, exterior and interior decoration. Anodized parts with increased strength characteristics are especially appreciated when installing facade systems. Metal profiles differ in different dimensions, but the most demanded product size (angular) is 20x20 mm. These products are suitable for protecting any finish, outside corners of interior partitions, for any interior cladding work. For frame structures, parts with dimensions of 50x25, 45x45 mm are used.

To connect the joints of floor coverings, T-shaped metal profiles with a width of 26 mm are most often used. These are elements with anodized surface up to 2.7 m long. Narrow products with a width of 10 mm are designed to mask the seams of thinner coatings. At the same time, they play the role of a decorative component, therefore they have a glossy or matte top layer (metal - like gold, silver, bronze). But there are products with other sizes - 15x15, 25x25, 50x20, 100x100. In this case, their purpose is decisive.

Large selection of simple and versatile aluminum fixtures for specific purposes due to the high demand for this material in all industries and spheres of life.

• As guides products are used not only for facades of furniture sets, including ventilated ones - reinforced models are relevant for facade structures of buildings. They are lightweight, exclude an impressive load on the base of the building and at the same time are resistant to moisture, significant temperature changes, and are characterized by sufficient strength and durability.
• Edging modifications are used to decorate furniture. Profiles with original decor can be used to improve the appearance of countertops, wardrobes, and other interior items.
• For floors, interior partitions, panels, mosaics, stands, T-shaped metal profiles are applicable as fixing supportsensuring an even distribution of weight on the floor, safety and stability of structures. Door slopes and window structures are often strengthened with an aluminum edge.
• Aluminum laminated profiles perfectly cope with such tasks as joining seams between floor and wall surfaces in order to achieve the perfect appearance of the corners of the tiles and to preserve the laminate flooring.
• Different kinds of models are used as moving elements in machine tool building, mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing and other industries, are necessary parts of mechanisms for vehicles.

Different categories of profiles are designed for specific tasks - this is the defining criterion for choosing a T-shaped brand.In everyday life, a blank may be needed when repairing a floor covering, to create a stretch ceiling, to effectively design furniture or to protect interior items from wear and tear and the negative influence of external factors.

First of all, you should figure out what kind of parts you need.

• Decorative, contributing to the refinement of the appearance of furniture, floor surfaces, walls and ceilings.
• Edge option for edging furniture fronts and protecting the headsets from the negative effects of the environment.
• Profile reference view, giving the furniture stability and making it safe to use. Such models are usually installed as legs.

In order not to be mistaken when buying a part, professionals recommend taking into account the following recommendations.

• To build a solid structure, it is important to decide with precise profile dimensions.
• Each type of product provides different installation methods, therefore, it is worth considering what tools you will need in the process.
• If the product is used to enhance the aesthetic value, Choose the height, length, shape, color and style of the profile based on the characteristics of the furniture, ceiling, floor, etc.
• The cost of aluminum material may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, however, you need to know that a metal profile cannot be too cheap, even if the frame product is light in weight and small in width, but at the same time performs an important task.
• Remember to inspect every detail carefully before purchasing - this rule is especially important for aluminum T-profiles. After all, any marriage can exclude the normal functioning of the product or will not allow its use as a decorative, framing element.

The design and operational capabilities of different types of T-shaped aluminum profiles allow you to choose elements that are suitable for different purposes and types of work. But at the same time, special attention should be paid to the exact correspondence of the parameters of the purchased product and the method of its installation.
