Wood Grain Aluminum Round Profile for Curtain Wall

Product Overview

This innovative solution combines 6063-T5 aluminum round profiles with advanced thermal transfer printing technology, replicating the beauty of natural wood while delivering the structural integrity and weather resistance of aluminum. Unlike real wood, which warps, rots, and requires frequent refinishing, these profiles maintain their appearance in extreme weather conditions—from coastal humidity to desert heat—reducing lifecycle costs by 60% compared to wood alternatives over 20 years.

Product Features

Authentic Wood Replication: Proprietary 9-layer printing process captures wood grain details as fine as 0.03mm, including natural knots, grain variations, and color gradients that pass visual inspection by 95% of architects in blind tests.

Durable Construction: 2.0mm thick aluminum round profiles with integrated structural ribs provide 250 MPa tensile strength while maintaining the slender aesthetic of wooden members. Available in diameters from 50mm to 200mm.

Weather Resistance: UV-resistant inks and clear protective topcoat maintain color integrity for 15+ years of direct sunlight exposure, with no cracking, peeling, or fading even in extreme temperature fluctuations (-40°C to 80°C).

Sustainable Design: Each ton of product replaces 18 mature trees while containing 85% recycled aluminum content. The profiles are 100% recyclable at end-of-life, supporting circular economy principles.

Product Applications

Resort Developments: Creates natural, inviting facades that blend with landscape architecture while withstanding harsh coastal or mountain environments.

Cultural Centers: Warm wood aesthetics enhance visitor experiences in museums and theaters, creating welcoming environments with low maintenance requirements.

Retail Spaces: Custom wood species match brand identities, creating distinctive storefronts that attract customers while withstanding heavy foot traffic and urban pollution.

Luxury Residential Towers: Balcony railings and facade elements feature natural wood aesthetics that enhance property values without the maintenance headaches of real wood.

FAQ

Q: How does the texture compare to real wood?

A: Our profiles feature a 3D tactile surface with 60-70 Shore A hardness that replicates wood’s natural feel while providing superior scratch resistance (2.5 on Mohs scale vs. 1-2 for real wood).

Q: Can the round profiles be curved or bent for organic designs?

A: Yes, the 6063-T5 alloy maintains grain pattern integrity through bending processes up to 90° angles with radii as tight as 100mm. Custom bending services are available for complex geometries.

Q: What wood species are available as standard options?

A: We offer 25 standard species including oak, walnut, teak, cedar, and mahogany. Custom species matching is available from customer samples with 2-week lead time.

Q: How does the finish perform in high-moisture environments?

A: The sealed surface and aluminum core prevent moisture absorption, making the profiles ideal for coastal applications. They resist mold, mildew, and rot, unlike real wood which requires constant sealing.
