Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure the optimal strength-to-weight ratio in its aluminum sliding door rail extrusions?

Frigate uses advanced alloy selections, such as 6061 and 6063, which provide excellent tensile strength while maintaining lightweight properties. These alloys are chosen based on their ability to endure heavy loading without compromising ease of operation. The extrusion process ensures that the final product achieves the ideal balance between strength and weight for smooth door movement. 

What manufacturing techniques does Frigate use to maintain dimensional accuracy in sliding door rail extrusions?

Frigate employs precision die technology and stringent quality control measures to maintain tight tolerances throughout the extrusion process. Each profile is checked for dimensional accuracy using advanced measurement tools to ensure consistency across all components. This attention to detail ensures that the rails fit perfectly within the door system, reducing friction and enhancing performance. 

How does Frigate address corrosion resistance in aluminum extrusions used for sliding door rail systems?

Frigate utilizes a robust anodizing process to enhance the natural corrosion resistance of aluminum, particularly for outdoor and coastal applications. This process forms a protective oxide layer that increases durability against moisture, UV rays, and industrial chemicals. The result is an extrusion that remains structurally sound and visually appealing in challenging environments. 

What benefits does Frigate’s customized extrusion process offer for sliding door rail systems?

Frigate’s custom extrusion capabilities allow for tailored profiles that meet specific load-bearing, dimensional, and design requirements. By adjusting the alloy, shape, and surface finish, Frigate ensures the rails fit seamlessly into specialized sliding door systems. This customization enhances both functionality and aesthetic appeal, meeting complex design challenges with precision. 

How does Frigate ensure long-term stability of aluminum extrusions in varying temperature conditions?

Frigate’s aluminum extrusions are designed with thermal expansion in mind, using alloys that maintain stability across a wide temperature range. The company’s precise manufacturing process ensures that the material’s expansion or contraction due to temperature shifts does not lead to rail misalignment. This attention to detail ensures consistent operation in both high and low-temperature environments.
