Aluminium Rubber Profiles

Metal precision meets rubber flexibility — aluminium-rubber profiles for glass run channels, bus window frames, and automotive door applications that demand tight tolerances.

Product Overview

When a rubber-only profile isn't accurate enough and a metal profile won't seal, aluminium-rubber is the answer. We bond extruded aluminium carriers with vulcanised rubber seals — giving you the dimensional accuracy of metal and the compression sealing of rubber in a single component.

The most common use is glass run channels — the aluminium tracks your car or bus window slides in. The aluminium keeps the glass aligned, the rubber lip seals it. We also supply these for bus window frames, commercial vehicle glazing, and architectural applications.

We select the right aluminium alloy grade for the structural load, anodise or powder coat to your colour spec, and bond with the rubber compound rated for your operating temperature and environment. Tell us your application and we'll design the right profile.
