Bending Aluminium Façades
Developing smarter aluminum facades and taller buildings in cities and urban areas around the world is increasing to accommodate our growing global population. By building taller, we must also build smarter. Aluminum construction not only enables lighter, stronger and more efficient projects, but also an opportunity to create new ways of working and products to meet any challenge.
More intelligent profiles also introduce new challenges when looking to bend these sections. Wider and more detailed profiles are bound to introduce new challenges. However, with careful planning and advanced bending machinery these challenges can be overcome.
What Aluminium Façades can be formed?
Virtually any aluminium extrusion can be curved. How tightly a section can bend is based on the width of the profile, the thickness of the material and the complexity of the extrusion.
Aluminium façade components of all types can be curved, including:
- Mullions
- Transoms
- Curtain Wall
- Fenestration Systems
- Thermal Broken Profiles
- Solar Shading
- Louvers
Bending Aluminium Transoms and Mullions
We have a long history of being mullion and transom sections to great success. Working with profiles that many would say were impossible to bend to the required radius. These large flat sections are often prone to warping or twisting. But our CNC bending machinery make quick work of even the most stubborn sections.
How tight can you bend façade profiles?
Our aluminium profile bending and fabrication facilities are stocked with the most advanced bespoke aluminium forming machinery available. Due to this the tightness of our bends are pushing the very boundaries of what is possible. Specifically, we are able to bend 500mm profiles to a 1200mm radius without issue.
Our bending calculator can advise on our standard bending radius capabilities. However, be sure to get in touch and discuss your project in detail. Our facilities are ever-innovating and changing what we are capable of.
