Aluminum extrusions are the biggest hit in the market these days
due to a variety of different reasons. Among them, the biggest reason is that it
can be easily used as a replacement for wood in a number of different projects
like cabinets, doors, windows, and building exteriors can all be given the
appearance and the texture of wood. Aluminum extrusions can be used in various
complex interlocking shapes, which makes it an exceptional part of the interior
designing field and construction industry. The wooden look is also serving as
an important factor in the popularity of wood grain aluminum profile.
Now all the products can get a desired natural look along with all the benefits
of aluminum.
There is a two-step process that gives aluminum extrusions a
finish wooden effect. The first process consists of two stages, number one
powder coating and the second one is known as sublimation; these stages give
aluminum extrusion a wooden look with so many other benefits. Let's
have a brief look at this two-step process:
The Process Of
Making Aluminum Profile Look Wooden
In this process, the powder is applied to different aluminum
extrusions, which are then placed in a curing oven at 200 degrees Celsius
temperature. The powder is electrostatically charged, which works to enhance
the adhesion on the surface of the extrusion. after 10 minutes in extreme
temperature, the extrusions are removed from the oven for cooling; after that,
get ready to moving forward towards another process, which is the second stage
of turning the surface of aluminum extrusions into wooden.
In sublimation, the wooden film is wrapped around the aluminum
extrusion by firmly adhering the film one the extrusion keeping all air bubbles
out. Wrapped extrusion is then again placed in the oven for further adaptation
and infusion of the film onto the extrusions' surface.
After a few crucial minutes in the oven, all the film's patterns
imprint on the extrusion along with the color and gives it the same unique
wooden look. The identical wooden look and low cost are two primary reasons why
aluminum extrusions get the same great look.
