Aluminum Extrusions for Awnings

Uses of Aluminum Extrusions for Awnings

Aluminum is an ideal metal for awning framing and structures because it is lightweight and durable. The material works well for awning rail tracks, which feature complex multi-channel designs to hold the awning’s edge.

Aluminum can also be extruded to form awning tubes for primary structural supports and square tubes with various corner styles, offering structural support. Our team can create different styles and profiles of tubing to match existing aesthetic preferences.

Advantages of Aluminum Extrusions

Extruded aluminum awnings and structural components are ideal for many reasons. First, the metal can handle the weight of the awning fabric and is strong and durable enough to withstand harsh weather. Second, aluminum is corrosion-resistant, which increases the lifespan of the awning. Third, aluminum requires minimal cleaning and upkeep. Finally, the best reason to use aluminum extrusions is its customizability.

What Aluminum Is Best for Awnings?

6063 aluminum extrusions for awnings is the best choice. The composition of 6063 aluminum includes magnesium and silicon as the alloying elements. The aluminum forms a protective oxide layer, contributing to its corrosion resistance and durability.

Beyond its durability, 6063 aluminum is highly formable, weldable, and machinable. It also accepts anodizing and powder coating finishes nicely.

In addition to 6063, 6005/6005A aluminum is also a recommended alloy for awnings applications. Specifically, for awnings with more partitions, using 6005/6005A aluminum will add strength and rigidity to the awning’s structure.
