Detail Display

This product range consists of 6061-T6 aluminum extrusions for aluminum formwork systems, manufactured in accordance with GB/T 6892 standards with strict control of alloy quality and dimensional accuracy.

 

The extrusions include wall and slab extrusions, U-shaped extrusions, end board (edge) extrusions, beam side and beam bottom extrusions, staircase extrusions (treads, risers, stringers), internal and external corner extrusions, curved and radius extrusions, filler extrusions, balcony and parapet extrusions, as well as custom non-standard aluminum extrusions for project-specific requirements.

 

All aluminum extrusions are produced through one-piece precision extrusion, integrating ribs and connection features directly into the section. After extrusion, solution heat treatment and artificial aging to T6 temper are applied to ensure high strength, stiffness, and long-term dimensional stability. Secondary processing such as cutting and drilling, is supported, making the extrusions suitable for repetitive, high-accuracy concrete construction using aluminum formwork systems.

 

 

 

Product Application

  • High-rise Residential Buildings & Apartments

    exceptional dimensional consistency, and stable structural performance across repetitive layouts. Its systemized design minimizes cumulative errors, reduces rework, and supports high-efficiency vertical construction under tight schedules.

  • Hotel、Office Building

    Aluminum formwork in hotel construction ensures high load-bearing reliability, precise geometry control, and uniform concrete finishes across complex structural zones. The system addresses key hospitality project pain points such as schedule pressure, quality consistency, and architectural tolerance demands in multi-floor commercial buildings.

  • Villa

    Aluminum formwork in villa construction enables high-precision wall, slab, and beam casting with clean, architectural-grade concrete surfaces. Its modular flexibility effectively handles irregular layouts and customized designs while maintaining construction efficiency and dimensional accuracy in low-rise residential projects.

  • Basement

    Aluminum formwork used in basement construction enables precise casting of slabs, beams, and columns with high dimensional accuracy and smooth concrete finishes. The rigid, systemized panels effectively control deformation under high concrete pressure, addressing common basement pain points such as misalignment, surface defects, slow cycle times, and labor-intensive rework in confined underground environments.
