Frequently Asked Questions: Aluminum Extrusions
Yes, ClassicMODUL has a complete line of SEG aluminum extrusions, ranging from single-sided to double-sided and non-backlit to backlit SEG extrusions. These extrusions are available in full-length sticks (approximately 20 ft.), specific cut sizes, and curved radiuses.
Classic Exhibits also has dye-sublimated SEG printing services through our Summit Graphics PDX division. Contact our Customer Service team for a quote on aluminum extrusion sticks or for a specific project.
ClassicMODUL Aluminum Extusions and locks are compatible with many other extrusion systems in both North America and in Europe. Generally, the groove width and depth are the same and the locks are similar with these competitors. However, the specific profile shapes may differ depending on the market the extrusion provider serves. Contact us for details.
Generally yes. We supply aluminum extrusions to exhibit builders, retail design and manufacturing companies, and event agencies. Even general contractors for projects unrelated to exhibits, events, retail, or advertising. Most exhibit builders rely on engineered aluminum for structural components, LED lightboxes, and graphic towers, walls, and stands.
As the premier private-label exhibit builder in North America, we have extensive industry knowledge on best practices for aluminum extrusion. That knowledge allows us to identify solutions quickly and cost-effectively for your distributors.
Yes. Nearly all aluminum contains a percentage of post-industrial and post-consumer aluminum. Generally, we specify 70% recycled content in our extrusions. These specifications ensure the aluminum has the highest possible hardness and durability, which is essential in a display product which is assembled, disassembled, and shipped many times.
However, that percentage can vary depending on the availability of recycled aluminum to our extruders. Meaning less recycled content. Fortunately, aluminum is one of the most recyclable materials, making recycling our aluminum waste easy for us as a manufacturer and for our clients when the display has reached its end of life.
Extruded Aluminum Extrusion is a manufacturing process where heated aluminum billets are forced through a custom-shaped steel die to create continuous, uniform aluminum profiles, such as bars, tubes, and complex structural shapes. The process utilizes immense pressure and heat, like squeezing toothpaste through a tube, or Play-Doh through a mold, resulting in strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant aluminum components used in a wide range of applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Custom Shapes: Manufacturers can create complex, highly detailed shapes with high dimensional accuracy.
- Uniform Cross-Sections: The process produces a continuous length of material with a consistent cross-section.
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Extruded aluminum is strong yet lightweight, making it ideal for structural applications.
- Durability: The final product is corrosion-resistant and can be heat-treated for added strength.
