Metal Extrusions

Deeco Metals is committed to providing quality custom extruded profiles in a variety of alloys to those with the vision to see the potential of these materials.

Our custom extruded shapes are supplied in copper & copper based alloys (brass & bronze).nickel silver, pink bronze and stainless are also available. Complex custom extruded shapes can be fairly easily produced in aluminum, but are considerably more difficult in brass or bronze or copper and even more difficult in stainless. Deeco's mills state-of-the-art equipment helps supply some of the most complex custom extruded shapes in the industry in sizes from very small to very large.

Our engineers will use their expertise, in manufacturing and materials, to recommend the ideal material from both performance and a cost standpoint. We offer precise tolerances, consistency of product, reliable service and a reputation for problem-solving, all supported by extensive research and experience.

To save 10-20% over your current supplier, send us your extrusion samples or drawings.

Common Extrusion Materials

Brass Extrusions

In its basic form Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, but most alloys contain additional elements. For architectural purposes Brasses are widely used, however, the building industry commonly refers to some of these alloys as Bronze; although it is a misnomer, it is accepted practice.

Bronze Extrusions

In its basic form Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Within architectural applications, true bronze is rarely used. In the USA we refer to Architectural Bronze extruded shapes even though it is a brass.

Nickel Silver Extrusions

In its basic form, Nickel Silver is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc, which has a warm silver appearance.

Stainless Steel Extrusions

The durability and natural corrosion resistance of stainless steel make steel extrusions well-suited to tasks in harsh environments, while its distinct look makes them ideal for decorative purposes.

Using Alloys for Extrusions

Copper alloys possess different properties and as a result, have varied uses. Some alloys are used for casting, some for extrusion and hot forging, and others for sheet and strip manufacturer.

Across the range of alloys, a number are used for manufacture in more than one condition; for example, a given alloy may be capable of being used for both casting and extension.

The appropriate use of Brass alloys and Bronze alloys can result in an over-all color matching system which is important in architectural applications.

Colors of Metal Extrusions

General

Most Brass and Bronze alloys have a GOLDEN HONEY color in their natural state and a RICH STATUARY BRONZE in their chemically colored state. Brasses which contain aluminum exhibit a BRIGHT YELLOW coloring in their as-manufactured state, but the color changes to HONEY when polished. PINK Brass and Nickel Silver are also available when alternative coloring is required.

Natural Color

Natural honey colored Brass & Bronze is as the name suggests, however, the difficulty with it lies in the fact that, given enough time, it will weather to a brown color. Obviously, this occurs more rapidly when it is exposed to weather. The rate of weathering depends on the degree of humidity, and the level of pollutants in the air. A greater problem occurs with fingerprints. Acids from the body leave marks on the natural Brass & Bronze and for this reason, natural honey Brass & Bronze needs to be protected, either by coating or by cleaning and/or polishing regularly if it is handled constantly, as in the case of handrails and door furniture.
