See How FONNOV Produces the Wood Finish Aluminum Extrusion
FONNOV ALUMINIUM produces wood finish aluminum extrusions. This finish is a timber look appearance on an aluminum extrusion profile surface. With the advanced sublimation process, woodgrain texture can be printed clearly on the aluminum metal surface. Wood finish aluminum extrusion profile is a highly durable product that is easy to clean and does not require any maintenance of real wood. It offers high resistance toward heat, acids, humidity, salt, detergents, and UV. So it is very suitable for residential and commercial architectural applications in both interior and exterior. FONNOV ALUMINIUM has engaged in high-quality wood finish aluminum extrusions for almost ten years and provided more than 1000 kinds of woodgrain colors for architecture and interior design. More and more architects prefer wood finish aluminum extrusion products for claddings, wall battens, ceilings, pergolas, sidings, fencing, and gates. Contact us now to find high-quality wood aluminum extrusions for your project.
▹Sublimation Process Creates Wood Finish Aluminum
FONNOV ALUMINIUM uses the sublimation process to create a wood finish on aluminum extrusion profiles. This is a physical-chemical process, which is the direct transition of a substance from the solid phase to the gas phase. The aluminum extrusion profile must be in powder coated or electrophoresis treatment firstly. Cover the aluminum with wood grain paper or heat transfer printing film/paper, then put it into the oven for 170-200℃ backing. Remove the film when the time is up. Then you will get a bright wood finish on aluminum. This production process can be briefly seen as Pretreatment ➟ Base coat powder coating ➟ Curing ➟ Wrapping woodgrain transfer paper/film ➟ Vacumming ➟ Curing ➟ Tearing transfer paper/film off.

Wood Finish Aluminum Extrusion FAQ
Here are most of the questions related to wood aluminum extrusion. We hope you will find the answer to your question. If not, please leave us a message.
Step 1: Extrude aluminum profiles
Step 2: Apply powder coating on pretreated aluminum extrusion profiles. Then, heat the combination to polymerize it. A base coat will be formed. When left exposed, agents of corrosion and abrasion like weather can reduce the life of aluminum.
Step 3: Put a film transfer of wood grain effect and wrap it around the powder coated aluminum profiles. After that, use a vacuum to remove air.
Step 4: Sublimate the product using a special oven.
- Compliance
Every construction must be approved by the designated authority in a particular jurisdiction. Woodgrain aluminum extrusion profile is deemed non-combustible, therefore, it’s a preferred option because of its fire regulation compliance.
- Strength
Aluminum is light yet strong. This combination of wood finish on aluminum extrusion is an added advantage over wood. Besides, it has the power to resist movement without breaking or bending easily.
- Less maintenance costs
Timber requires maintenance more often than wood finish aluminum extrusion. The latter requires less maintenance costs but delivers the exquisite wood appearance other architects and designers look out for in timber.
- High resistance to fade
Compared to timber, wood finish aluminum is slower in losing its coatings. This means avoiding coating/painting costs repeatedly over time. According to research, Aluminum resistance power to fade is three times that of wood. This means less exposure to agents of corrosion and adhesion.
- Exterior-interior option
Wood finish aluminum extrusions can be used both internally and externally. Although timber has a fine look, its ability to resist fade and corrosion makes aluminum wood finish the better option. This has an impact on both finances and overall look/feel.
- Fully customizable, better than real wood which can be complicated by the grain often times
- Has a very high standard aesthetical value
- Durable
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Gives the designer alternatives to choose from
- Doors and Windows
Wood grain aluminum extrusion profiles are common choice for designers. Aluminum does not swell especially when exposed to humidity. This makes it a better option than wood including other reasons like durability and better aesthetic appeal. Aluminum is also strong and this makes it a better material for massive lift and slide doors as well as windows.
- Fence and Gate
Wood finish aluminum extrusion will definitely be the better option to real wood. Aluminum fence will last long and offers better security. Besides, Aluminum fences require reduced maintenance. Therefore, you’ll incur less costs in the process. In addition, wood finish aluminum is not as exposed to agents of corrosion and tear; like real wood is to insects and humidity.
- Roofing and Canopies
Wood roofs have short life cycles. For projects that require longer time to serve purpose, different material must be prioritized. In this case, wood finish aluminum extrusion profile is the best option. It lasts longer and serves better.
- Signage
Wood is associated with elegance but won’t last long enough when used to make signage due to exposure to humidity and wind etc. Wood grain aluminum profile then would be the best alternative.
- Garage Doors
Garage doors are massive structures that require maintenance time and again. Wood finish aluminum extrusions will allow your garage door to operate optimally without the need for constant repairs.
FONNOV ALUMINUM offer clients variety of wood finishes on aluminum extrusion options to select from. You can choose one of our wood grain coating options including matt, glossy, smooth and sandy texture.
We have produced 1000+ wood grain colors for our clients since 2016. With such properties, we’ve been able to develop fine wood grain finishes like:
- Baffle ceiling
- Slat fence & gate
- Pergola
- Window & door
- Cladding
- Furniture
- Battens
- Clean the area with a mild liquid detergent.
- Rinse the area well ensuring that all detergent is gotten rid of.
- Apply turpentine, white spirit or methylated spirit. Ensure that you only use mild solvents.
- Avoid using strong solvents like acetates and petrol products or alcoholic solvents. They may have irreversible damage on the product.
- Avoid leaving your wood grain aluminum extrusion profiles exposed to cleaning agents for prolonged times.
- Maintenance intervals should also be observed. You should performance routines about two times a year, i.e. after every six months. The environment you live in also determines your maintenance frequency. Marine area residents are advised to clean more. This will help maintain your woodgrain finish in the right appearance at all times.
Step 1: Pre-painting
This step involves oil and dust removal before finishing with phosphating. The latter is the most important action in this phase.
After thorough cleaning and phosphating is done, a film is formed. The phosphate layer increases the product’s adhesive qualities. Besides, it boosts its corrosion resistance attributes.
Step 2: Powder Coating
The extruded aluminum profile is then powder coated in this second stage. The powder must be up to par with the wood grain’s heat transfer specifications. If these requirements aren’t met, the end product may not be as good.
Step 3: Wood Grain Paper/Film Cover
Cover the aluminum extrusion profile with wood grain paper or film.
Step 4: Sublimation
This process is also referred to as vacuum-curing. It entails passing the aluminum extrusion profile through a vacuum wood grain effect heat transfer machine. Place the wood grain on the substrate and heat the mixture.
Step 5: Film Removal
Remove the wood grain paper/film and clean your wood finish aluminum extrusion profile ready for quality analysis and packaging.
There are thousands of wood in nature, and there must be a kind of wood grain color that suits architecture and design needs. For architects, the different project has different aesthetic and color preferences. The light-colored wood grain helps people calm down quickly and makes people feel peaceful. Therefore, light-colored wood grains ( like white oak, red oak, and white ash) are suitable for business areas such as meeting rooms or areas that require quietness. Dark wood grains easily arouse people’s emotions and make people happy. This type of color (like cherry wood or walnut wood) is suitable for living areas such as restaurants. So every woodgrain color and texture has its fascinating beauty.
