What is Profile Wrapping?
Profile wrapping is a surface finishing method that comes in a variety of materials. It allows extruded plastic products to have different colours, textures, and finishes. The process is done by laminating a wet adhesive material on a substrate surface which is then pressed down by pressure rollers. It’s a simple process that’s faster than other finishing methods, allowing for an even faster turnaround.
Rocal Extrusions offers a wide choice of colours and textures, as well as wood grain and fabric effect finishes, for both internal and outdoor applications.
Quick Turnaround
Unless we’re developing something unique and bespoke to your needs, our profile wrapping is very easy to manufacture thanks to the on-line and off-line wrapping machines we have in-house. Although there’s a very extensive range of foil wraps, the manufacturing process for each profile wrap is fast and concise, ensuring a speedy delivery.
Improves Durability
It’s no secret that at some point, wooden exterior furnishings will eventually absorb moisture, bow, rot, and cause draughts. A wrapped profile provides an extra layer of protection that protects your product from the elements.
A Wider Range Of Colours & Textures And Bespoke Design Styles
Arguably the most obvious reason why people use profile wrapping is for display purposes.
Though there is already a wide range of interchangeable texture and colour combinations, you may find that there isn’t a finish that suits you. Thankfully, we can develop and produce custom plastic extrusions laminated to your exact requirements faster and more cost-effectively than the competition.
What Is Profile Wrapping Used For?
