Why are “Cut to length” extrusions sometimes referred to as profile length?

You’ll often hear us refer to ‘profile length’. That’s just referring to the extrusion process itself. Profile extrusion is when a block of metal (called a billet) is compressed and forced to flow through a die opening. The shape of the die opening will determine the profile of the extrusion, whether that’s an angle, a channel, or some complex sections.

So when we say ‘profile length’, we’re talking about a cut to length section of extruded aluminium.
