Custom Extrusion, Overlay & 1,2,3 Strip

What is Custom Extrusion?

Custom extrusion is a specialized manufacturing process that shapes materials, typically metals or plastics, into specific, continuous profiles. This process involves forcing the material through a die, which molds it into a desired shape, such as a tube, channel, or other intricate cross-sectional designs. Custom extrusion is widely used across various industries, including construction, automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods, for creating parts and components that meet precise specifications.

How Custom Extrusion Works

1. Material Selection: The process begins with selecting the appropriate material, such as aluminum, PVC, or another plastic or metal, based on the required properties like strength, flexibility, and heat resistance.

2. Die Design: A custom die is designed and manufactured to match the exact profile needed for the project. The die is a key component that shapes the raw material into the desired form.

3. Extrusion Process: The selected material is heated until it becomes pliable, then it is pushed or pulled through the custom die using a high-pressure extrusion machine. As the material exits the die, it cools and solidifies, retaining the shape dictated by the die.

4. Finishing: After extrusion, the material may undergo additional processes such as cutting, drilling, or surface treatment to meet specific functional or aesthetic requirements.

Benefits of Custom Extrusion

• Precision: Custom extrusion allows for the creation of highly precise profiles, ensuring that parts meet exact dimensions and specifications.

• Versatility: This process can produce complex shapes that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with other manufacturing methods.

• Material Efficiency: Extrusion minimizes material waste by using only the necessary amount of raw material to create the desired profile.

• Scalability: Custom extrusion is suitable for both small and large production runs, making it a cost-effective option for various manufacturing needs.

What is Custom Overlay?

Custom overlay is a specialized service offered by HighRise Repair, Inc. that involves applying a protective and aesthetically pleasing layer over existing surfaces, such as concrete or masonry. This process is ideal for revitalizing worn or damaged areas, enhancing durability, and providing a fresh, updated look to your commercial property. Custom overlays are tailored to meet your specific needs, offering solutions for improving slip resistance, waterproofing, and overall surface performance.

What is 123 Strip?

The 123 Strip is a versatile, high-performance joint sealing system used in construction and industrial applications to prevent water, air, and debris from penetrating joints and seams. Made from durable, flexible materials, the 123 Strip is designed for easy installation and long-lasting protection, making it an ideal solution for sealing expansion joints, cracks, and gaps in a variety of structures. Its excellent adhesive properties and resistance to environmental factors ensure reliable performance, even in challenging conditions.
