aluminium More to it than just the colour grey! »»Birmingham based ExtrudaSeal is reporting record levels in the uptake of its popular RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey gaskets. The leading manufacturer of flexible extrusions is supplying fabricators across the UK with a comprehensive range of rubber seals in thousands of RAL colours, suitable for any glazing applications. Managing director, Chris Byers, said: “This year, the warm spell has arrived with an even greater surge in demand for aluminium bifolding doors in particular, and our customers are extremely busy supplying installers, which has had a strong influence on our own output of gaskets, especially the RAL 7016.” Grey is arguably the most popular colour for windows and doors in the residential sector, which has been strongly influenced by modern architectural trends, as well as the commercial market, where the traditional white is almost never the preferred choice. Chris continues: “Now fabricators are investing in expensive powder coating EN 14351-1:2006+A1:2010 Pedestrian doorsets for escape routes.

So why have different colour gaskets from that of the aluminium frame?” ExtrudaSeal is part of the EuroSeal group, and is a market leading supplier of gaskets, weather seals and pressure plates for aluminium fabricators. The company manufactures a wide range of gaskets, suitable for most aluminium window and door systems, including Smart, AluK, Ikon, Senior, Kaye Building Systems, Metaltech and many more. The rubber seals are extruded in either Thermo Plastic Elastomers (TPE/TPR), or Poly Vinyl Chloride Nitrile (PVC) from British suppliers. UV stable, the rubber seal may also be produced with an antistretch polypropylene cord, to stop it from stretching.
