Aluminum Curtain Wall Profile

Notice: Production MOQ 500 kg. China-based stock available for project procurement and bulk orders.

Chalco offers a full range of custom aluminum curtain wall profiles, including mullions, transoms, pressure plates, cover caps, and thermal break profiles.

Profiles can be customized according to project drawings, cross-sectional designs, and surface finish requirements to meet the needs of commercial, high-rise residential, and public building facades.

Aluminum Curtain Wall Profile Types

Mullion Profiles
Mullion Profiles

Mullion profiles form the main vertical support of curtain wall systems.

  • Support curtain wall grid structure
  • Carry glass or panel loads
  • Improve overall facade stability
Transom Profiles
Transom Profiles

Transom profiles work with mullions to build modular curtain wall frames.

  • Provide horizontal support
  • Transfer panel and glass loads
  • Help form stable frame modules
Frame Profiles
Frame Profiles

Frame profiles are used around the curtain wall perimeter and system connections.

  • Support facade edge framing
  • Connect curtain wall components
  • Improve system integrity
Pressure Plates
Pressure Plates

Pressure plates secure glass or panels within the curtain wall system.

  • Fix glass or panels in place
  • Work with gaskets and fasteners
  • Support safety and sealing stability
Cover Caps
Cover Caps

Cover caps are used to conceal pressure plates and improve the visible finish.

  • Create clean facade sightlines
  • Protect internal fixing components
  • Support a neat exterior appearance
Thermal Break Profiles
Thermal Break Profiles

Thermal break profiles help reduce heat transfer in insulated curtain wall systems.

  • Improve thermal insulation
  • Reduce frame heat transfer
  • Support energy-saving facade design
Adapter Profiles
Adapter Profiles

Adapter profiles help connect different curtain wall profiles and system parts.

  • Link related profile sections
  • Support smooth system integration
  • Fit project-specific connection needs
Corner Profiles
Corner Profiles

Corner profiles are used for facade corners and special layout designs.

  • Support corner configurations
  • Fit customized facade layouts
  • Help maintain structural continuity

Materials and Aluminum Alloys for Curtain Wall Profiles

Chalco offers multiple aluminum alloys for curtain wall profiles, meeting diverse project requirements for strength, surface quality, and durability:

Alloy Designation Chemical Composition (wt%) Tensile Strength Rm (N/mm²) Yield Strength Rp0.2 (N/mm²) Elastic Modulus E (N/mm²)
EN AW-6060 Al Mg Si 1 195 150 70,000
EN AW-6063 Al Mg Si 205 170 70,000
EN AW-6061 Al Mg1 Si Cu 290 250 69,000
EN AW-6005 Al Si Mg 260 230 69,000
EN AW-6082 Al Si1 Mg Mn 310 260 69,000

*The optimal alloy can be selected based on profile cross-section design, load-bearing requirements, and surface treatment specifications.
