Do You Provide a Complete Aluminum System or Only the Profiles?
1. What Are Aluminium Profiles?
Aluminium profiles are the extruded components that form the skeleton of various architectural and industrial systems. These profiles are made by heating aluminium billets and pressing them through a mould (die) to achieve the desired shape.
In building applications, WJW aluminium profiles are commonly used for:
Window and door frames
Curtain wall structures
Facade panels
Balustrades and partitions
Industrial frames and machinery supports
Each profile can have different shapes, thicknesses, and finishes depending on its application and the performance requirements.
✅ Advantages of WJW Aluminium Profiles
High strength-to-weight ratio
Excellent corrosion resistance
Easy to fabricate and customize
Beautiful surface finishes (anodized, powder-coated, PVDF, etc.)
Eco-friendly and 100% recyclable
However, aluminium profiles are just one part of the overall system. To make a window, door, or curtain wall work properly, you also need accessories, hardware, seals, and assembly designs that integrate with the profiles seamlessly.
2. What Is a Complete Aluminium System?
A complete aluminium system refers to a full set of components and designs needed to assemble a fully functional product — not just the extruded parts.
For example, in an aluminium door system, WJW provides not only the aluminium profiles but also:
Corner connectors
Hinges and locks
Handles and gaskets
Glass beads and sealing strips
Thermal break materials
Drainage and weatherproofing designs
Each of these components is carefully matched to ensure a perfect fit and reliable long-term performance.
In other words, instead of simply buying aluminium extrusions and sourcing hardware separately, customers can purchase a ready-to-assemble solution directly from WJW Aluminum manufacturer — saving time, effort, and cost.
3. The Difference Between Profiles and Complete Systems
Let’s take a closer look at the main differences between purchasing only aluminium profiles and buying a complete aluminium system.
| Aspect | Only Aluminium Profiles | Complete Aluminium System |
|---|---|---|
| Scope of Supply | Extruded aluminium shapes only | Profiles + hardware + accessories + system design |
| Design Responsibility | Customer or fabricator must handle system design | WJW provides tested, proven system designs |
| Ease of Installation | Requires more assembly and adjustments | Pre-engineered for easy and accurate installation |
| Performance | Depends on user’s assembly quality | Optimized for airtightness, water resistance, and durability |
| Cost Efficiency | Lower upfront cost but higher integration cost | Higher value overall through efficiency and reliability |
4. Why Complete Systems Offer Better Value
Choosing a full aluminium system can be a smart investment for your project, especially when working on large commercial or residential developments.
Here’s why:
a. Integrated Performance
Every component in a WJW aluminium system — from profiles to seals — is engineered to work together. This ensures excellent:
Thermal insulation
Air and water tightness
Structural strength
Longevity and aesthetic harmony
b. Faster Installation
With pre-engineered connections and standardized fittings, on-site installation becomes faster and more accurate, reducing labor costs and project delays.
c. Proven Quality
WJW conducts rigorous quality testing for every system we produce. Our systems meet international standards for performance and durability, giving you peace of mind that your building components will last.
d. Reduced Procurement Complexity
By purchasing the full system from one reliable WJW Aluminum manufacturer, you eliminate the hassle of sourcing accessories and hardware from multiple vendors — ensuring consistent quality and compatibility.
e. Customizable Designs
We provide a range of aluminium systems for different needs — whether you want slimline windows, thermal-break doors, or high-performance curtain walls — all customizable in size, finish, and configuration.
5. When to Choose Only Aluminium Profiles
That said, there are situations where buying only WJW aluminium profiles might make sense.
For example:
You already have a local hardware supplier or in-house assembly team.
You are developing your own proprietary system.
You only need raw materials for industrial fabrication.
In these cases, WJW Aluminum manufacturer can still support you by:
Custom-extruding profiles based on your drawings.
Providing surface finishing and cutting services.
Supplying standard-length or fabricated profiles ready for production.
So whether you need raw profiles or fully integrated systems, WJW can tailor our supply model to fit your project requirements.

7. Choosing the Right Option for Your Project
If you’re unsure which option suits your project best, consider the following questions:
Do you have your own design or need a tested system?
– If you need a ready-to-install solution, choose a complete WJW aluminium system.
Are you looking for cost efficiency or full integration?
– Buying only profiles can be cheaper upfront, but complete systems reduce long-term costs and installation risks.
Do you have technical expertise in assembly?
– If not, relying on a trusted WJW Aluminum manufacturer for the full system ensures optimal performance.
Ultimately, your choice depends on your project size, budget, and technical needs — but WJW has both options ready for you.
