New aluminum profile application market in 2025

1. Aluminum Quick-Connect Topclamp Connector. 

The patented design developed for production by Adriaan Maris and Ronald Boertje is an extruded aluminum part that connects square aluminum tubes flush or to each other with the Topclamp connector. According to the company, the flexible and modular nature of the system makes it suitable for high-end interior and exterior design structures, including Expo stands/booths, pop-up stores, museum exhibitions, etc. 

2. New Energy Charging Stations 

With the Canadian government’s recent announcement of an impending ban on non-electric vehicles by 2035, it is expected that 4 million electric vehicles will be on the road in Quebec by then (and more in the United States), and 135,000 Type 2 public charging stations are expected to be installed in Quebec alone. Faced with the government’s goal of achieving 35% electrified parking spaces by 2035, all existing electric vehicle charging station solutions are unsuitable or restrictive. The system provides a large number of shared charging terminals, thereby simplifying the installation and configuration of electric vehicle charging stations to better adapt to changes and provide modular and upgradeable solutions. 

Plus+ leverages the advantages of aluminum profiles to meet the rapid electrification needs of future parking lots. The concept is a series of easily assembled and disassembled building blocks to configure an ideal urban installation: The positive (+) shaped assembly modules allow for extrusion connections within four axes. Extruded rails, assembly modules and accessories can be flexibly laid out to accommodate different parking spaces - from linear front-to-front, to narrow interior parking with walls, to exterior parking where light or shade is required. Power first comes from a panel mounted on the main base, then passes through the aluminum profiles to power up to six chargers or electrical accessories. Groups can be multiplied to accommodate any parking layout and configuration - reducing the need for demolition and construction to increase power supply when demand for EV charging bays multiplies in the future. The extrusions are composed of alloy 6063, used for its heat treatment characteristics and good strength, corrosion resistance, formability, machinability and weldability. Three Class III hollow profiles are designed to standard tolerances with a Class I architectural anodized coating best suited for outdoor applications. The designers note that the shape has a medium-sized circumscribed circle, a uniform thickness of 3.5 mm all around, rounded transitions and corners, and follows perfect 2-axis symmetry, making it economical to manufacture and suitable for most standard extruders.

3. Energy-saving and thermostatic aluminum profile sun room 

The designer explained: "Function defines aesthetics, using new technologies to reinterpret timeless themes in an attempt to synthesize spatial quality through a specific architectural gesture. The main structure consists of a slender aluminum frame that supports a transformative canopy that can switch between a flat ceiling and an arched conformation. On this structure, series of curved components are supported to define a protected and comfortable outdoor area with style and elegance. Made entirely of aluminum, the bioclimatic pergola allows occupants to adjust the level of natural lighting and air circulation, allowing them to enjoy the beauty of the scenery in the most comfortable climate. The ceiling composition filters light during the day, creating a relaxing and reflective atmosphere for users. LED lights are integrated into the fins, the aluminum parasols or "fins" are adjustable to rotate from 0 to 120 degrees, there is a water collection perimeter channel integrated with a vertical drain pipe, and the canopy is electric for easy deployment. The ARC system can be self-supporting or wall-mounted, and is further personalized with a range of colors and finishes. Paired modules allow for size variations and different combinations, as these can be combined in a variety of ways to accommodate countless spaces.
