"What is the best way to connect aluminium profile?" is a frequently asked question from our customers. The answer is, it all depends on your requirements! Whether you're looking for the most stable way of connecting aluminium profiles or rather the most cost-effective way, there will be an option for you! There are numerous techniques/products to assist with joining the aluminium profile, all of which will be specific to the performance requirements of the extruded profile.

Please see below the most common products used to secure/join aluminium profiles together:

 

Standard Brackets








Standard Brackets are the most commonly used bracket by our customers. You can use this bracket to connect two aluminum profiles or panels at right angles. The connection angle can be closed with the cover cap. 

 

This is a cost-effective and easy method of joining aluminium profiles at a right angle.

 

Corner Brackets











Corner brackets are used to connect up to three aluminum profiles at right angles. This Bracket is perfect when creating products such as work benches.

Corner brackets can connect either 3 square or half curved profiles with equivalent cross sections.

Square or Rounded cover caps can be purchased with this bracket in order to achieve a squared off or rounded finish to your build (rather than leaving the profiles exposed)
