Aluminum profile

Aluminum profile — modern, durable, and lightweight material for kitchen facade frames.

Aluminum profile is a modern, durable and lightweight material that gives furniture fronts a refined, minimalist look.

What is an aluminum-profile front?

A thin aluminum frame (profile) holds a glass or board panel. This allows a very thin, sharp-lined modern front — including on materials that are hard to set glass into directly.

What are the advantages of aluminum profile?

High durability and corrosion resistance — it won't rust or warp in a humid kitchen. Light weight and thin, elegant lines. It pairs well with glass, matte and gloss panels — especially in minimalist interiors.

What is anodizing?

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that grows a hard oxide layer on the aluminum surface. This layer is part of the metal (not a paint), so it doesn't peel or flake — the surface is color-stable and resistant to scratches and corrosion.

What should you watch out for?

The frame's corner joints and hardware must be of good quality — the joints determine the result. The price is usually higher than a standard front.

How to care for it

A soft cloth and a neutral cleaner; no abrasives, to preserve the anodized surface.

Futurium and aluminum fronts

We offer aluminum-profile fronts with glass and boards. For hardware we use Austrian Blum — its drawer systems carry 30-70 kg (LEGRABOX more), with BLUMOTION soft close; hinges are tested to 200,000 open-close cycles. Our team at the showroom will help you choose.
