Barcelona’s historic districts—such as L'Eixample, Ciutat Vella, and Gràcia—frequently demand high-end refurbishment where contemporary metallics harmonize with 19th-century brickwork. Our brushed aluminium angle profiles and custom wall trims provide tactile, satin-finished linear accents. Mechanical linishing prior to chemical anodizing removes extrusion lines, establishing a refined matte texture preferred by leading Catalan interior design practices for luxury residential, boutique retail on Passeig de Gràcia, and commercial headquarters.
Direct proximity to the Mediterranean Sea exposes structural metals in Port Vell, Barceloneta, and the industrial hub of Zona Franca to aggressive airborne chlorides. Standard untreated alloys rapidly experience pitting corrosion under coastal conditions. Pak Alumex manufactures specialized 6061-T6 marine angles and gauge hatches treated with a 20 to 25-micron anodic film thickness (Qualanod compliant). This electro-chemical barrier renders the profiles immune to salt spray degradation, satisfying ISO 12944 C4-M and C5-M atmospheric durability classifications.
Spain's energy efficiency regulations (CTE DB-HE) mandate optimized thermal envelope performance for new developments in 22@ Poblenou and suburban business parks. Our heavy-duty aluminium angle brackets for curtain wall dry-hanging support systems create rigid, lightweight structural sub-frames. Designed for stone, terracotta, and aluminum composite cladding panels, these brackets accommodate building movement, thermal expansion, and high wind loads along coastal high-rises while maintaining structural thermal isolation.
The distinctive aesthetic of brushed aluminium relies on absolute consistency during mechanical graining and subsequent chemical oxidation. At Pak Alumex, we utilize multi-head automated linishing belts equipped with Scotch-Brite abrasive webs to establish a continuous, parallel satin grain (180 to 320 grit depth).

With European Green Deal initiatives heavily influencing Catalan urban planning, specifiers prioritize 100% recyclable aluminium. Our closed-loop scrap recycling system consumes 95% less energy than primary smelting, earning points toward LEED and BREEAM certifications for Barcelona green building developments.
Urban acoustic comfort is critical in dense neighborhoods like Eixample and Poblenou. Brushed extrusions engineered with integrated thermal breaks and sound-dampening EPDM gasket channels allow fabricators to deliver high-performance acoustic facade barriers against street traffic noise.
Moving away from high-gloss paints, modern Catalan architects favor tactile organic finishes. Brushed natural silver, champagne, light bronze, and deep anodized black match contemporary Mediterranean interior palettes while resisting UV degradation under intense Iberian sunlight.
Pak Alumex operates an integrated industrial complex covering extrusion presses, matrix die manufacturing, automated brushing/polishing units, anodizing lines, vertical powder coating, and precision CNC fabrication under one single quality management system.

Detailed answers regarding specifications, international delivery, compliance, and custom die manufacturing.
For interior applications in Barcelona (such as hotel millwork or office partitions in L'Eixample), a 10 to 15-micron anodized layer is sufficient. However, for exterior facades, coastal railings, or port installations within 5 km of the Mediterranean coast (Port Vell, Barceloneta, Diagonal Mar), we strongly specify a 20 to 25-micron oxide layer compliant with Qualanod Class 20/25 standards to ensure total resistance to marine salt spray and atmospheric pitting.
Yes. Our in-house tool and die facility develops custom extrusion dies directly from DWG/DXF drawings or physical cross-section samples provided by Catalan engineering firms. Prior to die cutting, our engineering team performs structural wall thickness checks, extrusion ratio validation, and press capability analysis. We provide physical first-article samples for client laboratory sign-off before commencing bulk extrusion.
Brushed finishes are highly delicate prior to installation. Every profile length is individually co-extruded with protective UV-resistant plastic film (80–100 microns thick). Profiles are then bundled with inter-leaving paper, wrapped in waterproof poly-weave sheeting, and secured inside heavy-duty, ISPM-15 certified heat-treated wooden crates or reinforced steel-frame skidding designed for maritime container shipment to Port de Barcelona.
For heavy curtain wall support brackets and dry-hanging cladding systems, we extrude high-yield structural alloys 6061-T6 and 6082-T6. These alloys deliver yield strengths exceeding 240–260 MPa, providing the load-bearing safety margins required by Spain’s CTE structural safety codes (CTE DB-SE) for wind-load pressure on high-rise structures.
Standard production for custom extruded and brushed orders typically ranges from 14 to 21 days following sample approval. Ocean transit from Karachi port to Port de Barcelona averages approximately 18 to 25 days. For urgent structural project phases, we can coordinate split container shipments or air-freight sample lengths to accelerate initial fabrication tooling on site.
Yes. All extrusions adhere strictly to EN 755 and EN 12020 dimensional tolerances. Our surface finishing facilities operate in full alignment with Qualanod (for anodizing) and Qualicoat (for architectural powder coating) operational standards, complete with mill test certificates (MTC ISO 10204 3.1) accompanying every shipment.
