Can I Order Samples Before Mass Production?
Why Ordering Samples Matters
Samples are more than just a preview — they're a critical step in verifying whether the materials meet your performance, aesthetic, and compatibility standards. Here’s why it’s smart to request them:
✅ Quality Assurance
Inspecting a physical sample helps you evaluate the material strength, finish, color, extrusion accuracy, and coating quality of the WJW aluminium profiles or systems you’re considering.
✅ Design Validation
Architects and product designers often need aluminium samples to check how the profile fits into their design, test compatibility with other components, or to make prototype assemblies.
✅ Surface Finish Confirmation
Whether you need anodized silver, matte black, wood-grain, or PVDF coating, receiving an actual sample lets you confirm the visual appeal in real-world lighting conditions.
✅ Client Presentation
Samples are often used by design firms to present materials to their clients, especially for high-end villas, commercial facades, or large-scale government projects.
✅ Risk Reduction
Ordering samples mitigates the risk of major mistakes in color, shape, tolerance, or extrusion design. Better to find out in the sample stage than after tons of material are produced.
Can WJW Provide Aluminium Samples?
At WJW Aluminum manufacturer, we provide full support for sample requests — whether you're confirming details for a custom extrusion or evaluating one of our standard profiles.
✅ What Types of Samples Can You Order?
You can request samples in the following categories:
Custom aluminium extrusion profiles
Standard profiles for windows, doors, or curtain systems
Surface finish samples (powder-coated, anodized, wood grain, brushed, PVDF, etc.)
Thermal break profiles
Cut-to-size samples
Prototype assembly parts
We support both small-size profile samples and full-length profile cuts, depending on your needs.
The WJW Sample Ordering Process
We make the sample request process smooth and professional, with clear communication at every step. Here's how it works:
🔹 Step 1: Submit Your Requirements
Send us your drawings, dimensions, or product codes, as well as color or finish preferences.
🔹 Step 2: Quotation and Confirmation
We’ll quote the sample cost (often deductible from the mass order) and give you production + lead time.
🔹 Step 3: Fabrication
For custom samples, we’ll begin mold preparation or selection of existing tooling, then produce the sample.
🔹 Step 4: Finishing & Packaging
Samples are finished to your selected surface treatment and packaged securely to avoid damage during transport.
🔹 Step 5: Delivery
We ship by courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc.) or through your forwarding agent as needed.
Typical lead time:
Standard samples: 5-10 days
Custom profiles: 15-20 days (includes mold development)
What Does It Cost to Order Aluminium Samples?
At WJW Aluminum manufacturer, we offer fair and flexible policies:
| Type of Sample | Cost | Refundable? |
|---|---|---|
| Standard profiles | Often free or at minimal charge | Yes, deducted on mass order |
| Custom extrusion samples | Mold fee + profile cost | Mold cost often refundable after mass production |
| Surface finish swatches | Free or low cost | N/A |
| Door/window/assembly samples | Quoted based on complexity | Yes, partially deductible |
Can I Request Custom Samples?
Absolutely. If you're designing a unique solution or need custom extrusions for a new door, window, or lighting system, WJW can create tailor-made aluminium profile samples based on:
Architectural plans
2D/3D sketches
Reference photos
Reverse engineering based on physical samples you provide
We have our own in-house engineers and die workshop, so everything from design refinement to mold creation is handled internally. That means better control, lower cost, and faster turnaround.
Why Sample Approval Helps Your Project Succeed
Getting a sample approved before mass production gives you a solid foundation for the rest of your project. It helps ensure:
You’re not surprised by finish color or texture
The profile matches your dimensional and tolerance requirements
You avoid costly returns or rework later
Your client approves the materials in advance
You build a reliable supply chain relationship
This is especially crucial for high-value projects like hotels, apartment towers, and public-sector builds, where consistency and long-term durability are key.
