Yes, we can supply aluminium extrusion for greenhouses. Lightweight, hard-wearing, relatively cheap, and resistant to corrosion, even in hardy outdoor applications, extruded aluminium is a good choice for the manufacture of greenhouses. We can supply aluminium extrusion for greenhouses in sub-assembly form, or as customer-ready kits.

Being light, strong, cost-effective, and corrosion resistant, extruded aluminium is ideal for the manufacture of windows, both domestic and commercial. We supply a range aluminium extrusion for windows, including custom profiles for frames, and individual extruded aluminium components.

We supply aluminium extrusion solutions to customers in a huge variety of industries, including domestic, commercial and industrial lighting. We can, and do, supply aluminium extrusion for LED strip lighting, so let us know your exact requirements and we’ll be happy to let you know how our versatile, cost effective and fully managed extrusion solutions can help your business.

Yes: there are plenty of places online where you can buy a variety of cheap aluminium extrusions and extruded aluminium components, and eBay is just one of them. We’ll wish you the best of luck, and we’ll be here to help you out in the likely event your cheap aluminium extrusions fall short of your expectations.

At Edmo, we’ve got decades of experience in aluminium extrusions, a wealth of technical and engineering expertise, and access to a global network of extrusion suppliers. We’re dedicated to getting the best deals for our customers in terms of price and lead-time, while offering premium quality, complete solutions. Our service can take your aluminium extrusion project from design to delivery, all project managed on your behalf.

BS EN 12020 is the European standard that specifies tolerances on the dimensions and form of extruded precision profiles – in our case, extruded aluminium profiles. In many cases, we can produce to this standard. However, some profile shapes and sizes would prevent us from doing so, which is why our technical team carefully reviews all drawings to verify. We’ll always give you an honest answer as to the tolerances we can achieve on your project, and we never over-promise.

Yes, we can access a full range of standard extruded aluminium profiles on behalf of our customers, in addition to a range of pre-treated profiles such as pre-anodised aluminium sheets. But, standard extruded aluminium profiles are just a small part of what we do: we specialise in bespoke, end-to-end solutions, which means that the vast majority of extruded aluminium components and profiles we supply are made according to our customer’s exact specifications.

6000 series aluminium extrusion alloys are widely available and suited to most commercial applications, making them a good choice of alloy for much of the work we undertake for our customers.

This range of  aluminium extrusion alloys contain aluminium (of course!), manganese and silicon. These additional elements allow the alloys to undergo heat treatment to improve strength. 6000 series aluminium extrusion alloys are also well suited to fabrication such as welding, are versatile and hard-wearing enough for use in a variety of commercial and industrial applications, and offer good corrosion resistance and formability.

It really does depend on the nature of your project. Wherever possible, we use 6000 series aluminium extrusion alloys, as they are widely available and suited to commercial use. Of the available aluminium extrusion grades, we primarily use:

• 6063
• 6063a
• 6005
• 6005a
• 6082

There are other available aluminium extrusion grades, however, there would rarely be a case in which we would need to use these. If you are unsure of whether the available aluminium extrusion grades are suited to your intended application, or would like to know which grade we would recommend, please feel free to contact us.

Yes, our technical team is made up of engineers who are experts in aluminium extrusions. If you have any questions about the right aluminium extrusion alloys for your particular project, one of our team members will be happy to advise. The choice of aluminium extrusion alloys depends on a range of factors, including the product application (how the product will be used), the design, and the surface treatments needed.

Engineering design is part of the complete extrusion solution we offer, and helping our customers identify the perfect aluminium extrusion alloys for the job is just one part of that.

Rather than being aluminium extrusion manufacturers, we’re aluminium extrusion suppliers and fabricators. What this means is that we source premium quality aluminium extrusions from our global network of trusted partners. On the vast majority of occasions, these extrusions are custom-made to our customers’ unique specifications. Once the bespoke extrusion has been prepared, we can offer you a range of extrusion fabrication and finishing solutions, ranging from CNC machining to assembly and delivery.
