Aluminum profiles and acrylic panels are a perfect match, ideal for customizing safety fences, equipment guards, chassis cabinets, workshop partitions, arc welding booths, and more. Acrylic panels come in a variety of colors, with commonly used options including amber, green, transparent, red, and others, catering to diverse production needs. Additionally, their relatively affordable price makes them highly favored by customers. So, how exactly can aluminum profiles and acrylic panels be connected?
Actually, the method is quite simple: since the aluminum profiles come with grooves, you can directly insert the acrylic panels into the profile slots and then assemble them using the appropriate accessories. Commonly used accessories include pressure strips and spacer connecting blocks.
When securing the acrylic sheet using pressure strips, simply fix both the acrylic sheet and the pressure strips together inside the profile groove. The selection criteria are as follows: Profile groove width = Acrylic sheet thickness + Pressure strip thickness.
When fixing the acrylic panel using spacer connectors, it is necessary to drill holes in the acrylic sheet and then secure it onto the spacer connectors with bolts.
When comparing these two methods, the pressure strip needs to be installed during the assembly of the frame, whereas the spacer connecting blocks can be fitted after the frame has been assembled, prior to installing the acrylic panels.
