Materiaal Eigenschappen

An aluminium frame is an internal support structure made of aluminium profiles that guarantees mechanical support and dimensional stability.

An aluminium frame is constructed from extruded aluminium profiles that are interconnected to form a stable support structure. As an internal skeleton, it forms the basis on which other materials such as panels, plating or visual finishes are mounted.

Aluminium is chosen because of its favourable ratio between strength and weight, so that structures remain light without sacrificing stability. In addition, the material is naturally corrosion-resistant due to the formation of an oxide layer, which makes it suitable for long-term use.

The modular nature of aluminium profiles allows customization and flexibility, both in design and assembly. As a result, the system can be widely used in both temporary and permanent applications.
