Types of profile connections

Various methods of joining aluminum structural profiles...

Connection with a bracket

In addition to traditional screw connections, angle brackets are the most popular method for joining profiles. Their use as a standalone fastener ensures easy installation that does not require complex processing and allows for the adjustment of the position of assembled components, which is useful, for example, when building prototype structures. When combined with a cover cap, they offer an easy and aesthetically pleasing method for quick installation. They are also used as a supplementary element to reinforce screw connections in structures subjected to higher loads. Angle brackets require the use of additional fasteners. In the AlutecKK product range, some angle brackets are sold as ready-to-install sets that include screws, nuts, and a cover cap.
