The types and uses of aluminum profile connectors

May 07,2024

Brackets

Brackets are the simplest type of connector, specifically designed for 90-degree connections. 

They offer ease of installation, requiring only a few screws and nuts to securely fasten two extrusions together. 

Brackets have a flush design, ensuring they do not interfere with or protrude from the overall structure.

Connector Cubes

Unlike brackets, connector cubes enable the connection of multiple 

extrusions as they attach at the end of aluminum profiles. 

These cubes seamlessly integrate into the frame design, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

However, they tend to be relatively more expensive and may have 

limited compatibility across various aluminum profile combinations.

Quick Connectors

Quick connectors aim to simplify aluminum extrusion construction for users without extensive technical knowledge.

They serve as streamlined alternatives to traditional screws and inserts. 

By inserting quick connectors into an aluminum extrusion, users can easily connect it 

to another profile without the need for drilling holes 

or worrying about exposed components like brackets or connector cubes.

T Connectors

T connectors, also known as end connectors, are utilized for unconventional connections, 

such as joining the end of one extrusion to the middle of another.

Unlike other connector sets that may require drilling halfway through the profile,

T connectors eliminate this risk by providing a strong

bond between two extrusions without compromising structural integrity.
