Advantages and properties of aluminium square tubes
Aluminium square tubes (also known as hollow aluminium profiles ) offer an excellent combination of lightness, stability and versatility. They are suitable for numerous applications in different areas and are an excellent choice for both professional use and DIY projects thanks to their easy handling and customisability. They can be used for a wide range of projects without any problems. Due to their light weight compared to other materials such as steel or stainless steel, they are particularly easy to handle. At the same time, they offer excellent resistance, making them suitable for demanding constructions. Whether in architecture, mechanical engineering, vehicle construction or even furniture construction - aluminium square tubes can be used almost anywhere, for example in the construction of shelves, fences or as load-bearing elements in machines and vehicles.
Why METALXACT?
✅ Certified quality in accordance with international standards
✅ Wide range of surface options
✅ Maximum flexibility for customised solutions
Available bright, anodised and with powder coating
- Bright/pressed bright: The pressed bright version has a natural aluminium surface and is suitable for all applications where appearance is not important but functionality is paramount.
- Anodised (E6/EV1): The anodised version offers a particularly hard-wearing and decorative surface. Anodised aluminium is particularly resistant to external influences such as moisture and UV radiation. It is therefore also suitable for use outdoors or in corrosive environments. Our aluminium square tubes are available in the alloy "AlMgSi0.5, pressed".
- Powder-coated: A powder coating provides an additional protective layer and is available in various colours. It not only ensures high resistance, but also an attractive appearance that blends in perfectly with the surroundings. The colours RAL 9016 traffic white, RAL 7016 anthracite grey and RAL 9005 jet black are particularly popular. With our large selection of 1,500 colours, you are sure to find the right one for you!

- High resistance to weathering - ideal for outdoor use
- All specifications are approximate values and depend on the respective piece or delivery condition
Areas of application for aluminium square tubes
Aluminium square tubes are widely used in a wide range of industries and trades due to their numerous advantages. Here are some of the most important areas of application for aluminium square tubes:
- Automotive industry: aluminium square tubes are often used for various parts of vehicles, whether as structural components or for specific applications such as frame constructions and support profiles.
- Mechanical engineering: Aluminium tubes are indispensable in machines and systems as stable yet lightweight components. As construction tubes, they are used for frame elements, support structures and various frame constructions.
- Furniture construction: Aluminium square tubes are used in furniture construction in particular, for example in the manufacture of shelves, tables and chairs. They are the ideal choice as they are durable yet easy to work with.
- Aviation: Rectangular tubes also play a role in the aviation industry. Their lightness and strength are crucial here, especially for the manufacture of wing structures and other important components.
- Construction and architectural projects: Whether as a load-bearing structure in buildings or for decorative elements, aluminium tubes are particularly suitable for outdoor use and can also be used in demanding environments such as architecture.
- Electrical installation and air conditioning technology: Aluminium tubes are also used in electrical installation and air conditioning technology, particularly for the installation of wires and cables as well as for piping in air conditioning systems.
- Interior fittings: The square tubes are used for support structures, but also for decorative elements in interior fittings, for example as part of room partitions, window frames or shelving systems.
- Model making and DIY: Aluminium square tubes are also increasingly being used in model making and DIY projects. They are easy to handle and are ideal for smaller constructions.
- Decking substructure: In decking construction, aluminium square tubes serve as a stable, weatherproof substructure for planks or boards. They provide a durable and low-maintenance base - ideal for wood, WPC or stone decking.
- Handrail tubes and railing tubes: As handrail tubes or railing tubes, aluminium square profiles are the first choice for stairs, balconies or gallery railings due to their pleasant feel and modern look - both indoors and outdoors.
Profiles: Rectangular tube vs. square tube
Rectangular tubes and square tubes are both widely used in metalworking, but differ in their shape and application. Rectangular tubes offer greater flexibility in load distribution as they have different side lengths. They are ideal for structures where asymmetrical loading occurs. Square tubes, on the other hand, offer uniform strength in all directions, making them suitable for uniform loads or aesthetic designs. Both types of tube are robust, but the choice depends on the specific application and structural requirements.
Customised configuration
The configuration of aluminium square tubes offers numerous options for designing the tubes precisely according to the project requirements. For example, the length of the square profiles can be customised as required to avoid having to saw the square tubes to size on site. It is also possible to choose from different alloys, surface treatments and external dimensions to find the best possible solution for every project. Whether for the construction of machinery, furniture or even architectural projects - the adaptability of aluminium square tubing makes it an ideal choice for almost any application.
