Frequently asked questions

Do you stock standard sections or extrude to order?

We supply common sections and also extrude to your drawing when the section is non-standard. Send the dimensions and quantity and we confirm whether it is stock or a made-to-order profile.

Which alloy should I choose for machining stock?

6061 and 6082 machine well and offer good strength; 6060 and 6063 suit lighter, more formable work. Tell us the part and finish and we recommend the alloy and temper.

Can you cut to length and control straightness?

Yes — cut-to-length is standard and we work to dimensional and straightness criteria. Tell us the acceptance requirement and we confirm it in the quote.

What is the minimum order?

It depends on the section and alloy rather than a fixed figure. Send your sizes and quantities and we give you a specific minimum and price.
