Aluminium extrusion in construction

A STRATEGIC MATERIAL FOR SUSTAINABLE IMPACT

For forward-thinking builders, material choice is not a detail - it is a strategic decision. Aluminium, and in particular the 6000-series alloys, offers a combination of properties that perfectly match the demands of modern construction projects: lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant, and fully recyclable.

At BOAL Extrusion, we work daily with these alloys, including EN AW 6060 T66 and EN AW 6063 T66, thanks to their proven performance in façade construction, structural applications, and modular systems. Our extrusion technology enables us to create complex shapes that cannot be produced with steel or stainless steel – without compromising strength or stability.

EPD relevance: measuring means knowing

In a sector where Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are increasingly guiding material choices, aluminium provides transparency and measurability. This is especially true when aluminium is produced from recycled content and/or with renewable energy. With BLUE by BOAL, we deliver profiles that demonstrably contribute to CO₂ reduction and comply with the frameworks of BREEAM, LEED, and other sustainability labels.

Thinking along from the first sketch

BOAL Extrusion is more than a manufacturer. We are a partner who contributes from the very beginning by supporting:

  • Design optimisation: how can the profile be lighter, smarter, and easier to manufacture?

  • Material selection within sustainability goals: which alloy best suits the application and the EPD strategy?

  • Process guidance: from concept to trial extrusion and series production, with attention to planning and reliability.

Our experience in the construction sector - from infrastructure to design - makes us a reliable sparring partner for technical decision-makers seeking sustainable, feasible solutions. We support design optimisation, assess manufacturability, and deliver not only extruded profiles but also customer-specific processing such as cutting, punching, milling, and surface treatment. This ensures that the customer receives a profile ready for direct use in their construction process. 

Ready to use aluminium strategically?

BOAL Extrusion helps builders, designers, and project teams integrate aluminium profiles into solutions that are both technically sound and sustainably effective.

In short, BOAL Extrusion delivers not just profiles, but complete solutions: extruded, processed, and tailored to your application. Do you have an aluminium challenge that calls for vision, precision, and partnership? Challenge us.
