Profilox® is an architectural system of anodized aluminium wall profiles developed for expressive façades, interior walls and refined architectural details. The system combines precise extruded aluminium shapes with Alumet’s expertise in anodizing, colouring and surface finishing. This gives architects and designers the freedom to create surfaces with rhythm, depth, texture and changing shadow effects.
Developed by Alumet in collaboration with aluminium profile specialist ASAS, Profilox® brings profile design, extrusion knowledge and controlled anodizing together in one integrated solution. A curated range of standard profiles offers an accessible starting point for architectural projects, with shapes ranging from clean linear and angular forms to curved, rounded and more sculptural profiles.
Each profile creates a different visual effect. Minimal profiles can form calm and continuous surfaces, while deeper or curved profiles create stronger shadow lines and a more expressive façade. The profiles can be installed vertically or horizontally, allowing the direction, scale and repetition of the system to become part of the architectural concept.
For projects that require a unique shape or wall pattern, custom extruded aluminium profiles can also be developed. These project-specific options give architects greater freedom to create distinctive façade systems, interior features and architectural transitions. Custom profile development requires additional engineering and tooling, while the standard Profilox® range offers a more direct and cost-efficient route to specification.
Alumet Colours and Finishes
Profilox® can be combined with Alumet’s wide range of anodized colours and surface finishes. Options include subtle matt surfaces, linear brushed textures, reflective brightened finishes, polished aluminium and deeply matt surfaces. Because the appearance is created through anodizing, the metallic character and natural depth of aluminium remain visible.
Different colours and finishes interact with each profile shape in their own way. Light moves across curved profiles differently than across angular or stepped surfaces, giving architects the opportunity to use reflection, texture and shadow as active design elements. The result can range from calm and minimal to warm, tactile and highly expressive.
Ultra-Matt E10 With a Ceramic-Like Appearance
One of the most distinctive Profilox® combinations is the Ultra-Matt E10 finish. This deeply matt, low-reflection surface gives anodized aluminium a soft, mineral-like character that can resemble ceramic or terracotta.
Ultra-Matt E10 can also reduce the visibility of extrusion lines, helping to create a smoother and more uniform appearance across complex profile shapes. It offers the architectural warmth associated with ceramic materials while retaining the precision, strength and lightweight qualities of aluminium.
Compared with heavy and fragile ceramic façade elements, Profilox® profiles are lightweight, impact-resistant and practical to transport and handle. Long extruded profiles can create continuous façade lines, while the range of available shapes gives designers greater freedom to introduce depth, repetition and movement across large surfaces.
Designed for Façades and Interiors
Profilox® is suitable for large-scale façades, feature walls, interior surfaces and architectural details where the profile itself contributes to the visual identity of the project. The system combines technical performance with a refined anodized appearance, making it suitable for commercial, cultural, educational and public architecture.
Samples are available to help architects and project teams compare profile shapes, anodized colours, textures and finishes before specification. Alumet can also provide advice on standard profiles, custom development, finish selection and technical possibilities.
