Architectural Aluminium Extrusion & Powder Coating for Akbar Plaza

Akbar Plaza in Timergara represents a modern mixed-use development combining ground-floor commercial shopfronts with upper-tier office and residential spaces. Pak Alumex supplied structural-grade 6063-T6 architectural aluminium extrusion profiles and high-durability powder coating engineered for long-term weather resistance.

Manufactured at our integrated plant in Faisalabad and fabricated by Ahmad Aluminium (Timergara), this project demonstrates how precision-milled aluminium section geometries and uniform surface finishing ensure structural integrity, smooth sash operation, and clean architectural sightlines across multi-story commercial elevations.

Profile Performance & Material Standards

To meet wind-load conditions and heavy daily usage in commercial environments, Pak Alumex extruded heavy-wall aluminium sections with rigorous metallurgical and dimensional control.

Casement Window Systems

Supplied with dual-chamber EPDM weather gaskets, continuous hardware grooves, and drainage channels to prevent water ingress during monsoon rains while maintaining low air infiltration.

  • Dual EPDM Seal
  • Sound Attenuation
  • Fly-Screen Integration

French Sliding Doors

Engineered multi-track sliding profiles with stainless steel roller tracks and interlock mullions, delivering low-friction sash operation across wide opening spans.

  • Stainless Rollers
  • Heavy-Duty Interlock
  • High Wind-Load Rating

Architectural Powder Coating

Electrostatically applied thermosetting polyester powder applied over a chromate-free chemical conversion layer, delivering high chalking and UV degradation resistance.

  • 60–80 µm Film Build
  • Qualicoat Standard
  • Batch Uniformity

In-House Manufacturing Control from Billet to Site Packaging

For commercial developments like Akbar Plaza, section tolerances and finish durability cannot be compromised. Pak Alumex controls the entire manufacturing value chain under one roof in Faisalabad.

  • Spectrometric Billet Inspection

    Every raw aluminium billet undergoes alloy composition verification before heating to prevent impurity inclusions and structural soft spots.

  • Custom Die Engineering

    Profiles are extruded using precision H13 steel dies designed for uniform wall thickness distribution, minimizing internal stresses and profile distortion.

  • Protective Packaging & Export Handling

    Extrusions are interleaved with protective polyethylene film and wrapped in moisture-resistant bundles or steel-strapped crates to guarantee scratch-free delivery.

Specifier Queries

Frequently Asked Questions for Project Procurement

Technical answers for architects, facade consultants, and general contractors evaluating Pak Alumex extrusions.

For standard window sashes, partitions, and door frames, 6063-T5 offers excellent surface finish quality and sufficient strength. For structural mullions, transoms, and heavy-duty sliding door tracks exposed to wind pressure, 6063-T6 temper is specified due to its higher yield and tensile strength capabilities.

We utilize automated powder coating lines with digital temperature curve monitoring in our curing ovens. Coating thickness is logged continuously using electromagnetic gauges, and spectrophotometer color checks ensure batch-to-batch color match tolerances within ΔE < 0.5.

Yes. Our in-house engineering team converts DWG/DXF facade section drawings into precision tooling designs. We evaluate wall thickness ratios, press capabilities, and weight tolerances before die manufacturing, supplying initial sample extrusions for dimensional approval prior to mass production.

All export consignments include Mill Test Certificates (MTC) detailing chemical composition and mechanical properties, Coating Thickness Inspection Reports, Packing Lists with weight-per-meter schedules, and Certificates of Origin for international port clearance.
