Aluminum profiles and extrusions from China are used in construction, furniture, lighting, solar energy, transport, and hundreds of other applications worldwide. Foshan’s Nanhai district is China’s leading aluminum processing zone, home to some of the largest aluminum extrusion and finishing operations in the world. Whether you need standard structural profiles, custom extruded sections, anodized architectural profiles, or powder-coated framing systems, Nanhai is where the manufacturing capability sits and where the most competitive pricing is available.
Types of Aluminum Profiles Produced in Foshan
Standard structural profiles including square tubes, rectangular tubes, round tubes, angle profiles, T-profiles, and flat bars are produced in enormous quantities and kept in stock by trading companies near the production zone. Architectural aluminum profiles for door and window frames, curtain wall systems, shopfront framing, and interior partitioning are a major export category. LED lighting channel profiles in various shapes for surface-mount, recessed, and corner-mounted LED strip installations are produced by specialized factories adjacent to the lighting cluster. Solar frame profiles for photovoltaic panel mounting systems are another fast-growing export category. Custom extrusion profiles to customer drawings are a routine service offered by most established factories.
Surface Finishing Options
Raw mill-finish aluminum is the baseline product. Anodizing in standard silver, champagne, bronze, and black finishes provides corrosion resistance and a clean, metallic appearance suitable for architectural use. Powder coating is available in any RAL color and in a range of textures including smooth, textured, and woodgrain film wrapping. Electrostatic painting provides a smooth painted finish. PVDF coating is the premium finish for high-performance architectural applications where color stability and corrosion resistance are critical over long periods.
Alloy Grades and Tempers
The most common alloy for architectural and structural profiles is 6063 T5 or T6. For applications requiring higher strength, 6061 T6 is used. Always confirm the alloy and temper in your specification and ask for a material certificate with each shipment. Some lower-quality producers substitute inferior alloys to reduce cost, which can significantly compromise structural performance.
