How Are Aluminum Extrusions Used to Support Wall Panels?

Custom aluminum extrusions form the backbone of our wall panel support systems, engineered to accommodate various panel types, from composite to solid and honeycomb. Vertical mullions and horizontal rails are precision-machined and anodized or powder-coated to match panel finishes, creating a modular grid that anchors to structural substrates via stainless steel anchors. Extrusion profiles integrate snap-in or hook-style clips that allow panels to be installed without visible fasteners, preserving smooth facades and ceilings. Thermal break inserts—made from polyamide or EPDM—can be co-extruded or inserted into the profiles to interrupt conductive heat flow. Slotted holes in the extrusions provide on-site adjustability for leveling and aligning panels, critical for large-format installations. Edge channels in the extrusions accommodate sealants and gaskets, ensuring continuous weather barriers. By combining these extrusion systems with our aluminum ceiling carriers, we deliver fully coordinated façade and overhead assemblies that meet stringent performance and aesthetic requirements.
