Modern lighting solutions demand more than aesthetics alone: they require materials that deliver long-term performance, precision and environmental responsibility. We specialise in supplying custom aluminium extrusions for the lighting industry that are tailored to the exacting needs of our customers. Love Aluminium’s solutions help to create cost effective, efficient and visually appealing lighting systems for a wide range of environments.
Our aluminium profiles are found in architectural, commercial and industrial lighting systems throughout the UK and Europe. Their widespread adoption is underpinned by key performance advantages.
Aluminium is an excellent heat conductor, making it ideal for use in LED lighting systems where thermal control is important. Love Aluminium’s extrusion designs can incorporate integrated heatsinks and expanded surface areas to support passive cooling. This helps to maintain optimal junction temperatures, thereby extending the operational life and consistency of the light source.
The material properties of aluminium (lightweight yet structurally robust) make it particularly suited to suspended, recessed and wall-mounted fixtures. This balance of strength and low mass simplifies installation and minimises load on supporting structures, improving safety and reducing labour requirements.
We machine our extrusions to tight tolerances, enabling seamless integration with lighting system components such as lenses, diffusers, PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) and mounting housings. This level of precision is vital for applications that rely on automated assembly and modular construction, helping to maintain speed, consistency and quality across production runs.
We work closely with our customers to develop bespoke profiles that meet specific technical and aesthetic objectives. From snap-fit channels and cable management features to multi-functional housings that reduce part counts, our custom extrusions are engineered to streamline assembly, enhance durability and optimise system performance.
We offer a choice of surface treatments, including anodised, powder-coated and brushed finishes. These not only enhance appearance but also provide corrosion resistance, ensuring that fittings retain their quality and finish over time, whether installed in interior or exposed exterior environments.
Aluminium is 100% recyclable. Love Aluminium ensures that all materials are sourced and processed in line with recognised environmental and quality management standards. Our processes are fully traceable, supporting ISO9001 compliance and helping customers to meet their own sustainability objectives.
“I have known Jackie since 1998 and have worked on many interesting designs. I am confident to trust Jackie with our extrusion requirements because of her knowledge of the industry. Currently, Love Aluminium provides us with several Aluminium extrusions some of which incorporate fabrication and powder coating.
“Service is always of a very high level. Lead times are excellent and consistently met enabling accurate scheduling. Our experience has proved that Jackie understands our high quality requirements and is able to satisfy these. The simple things make a big difference. For example, packaging and labelling is excellent and delivery notification of product arrival and quantity is very helpful. Consistent packaging has enabled us to have bespoke cantilever racking designed to maximise our stock holding capacity.
“We have been approached by many other extruders and have had recent poor experience from a national supplier that uses mills in the far east. This was a dismal exercise (as we expected) proving poor quality of alloy, product, packaging, delivery lead times, stock management and service. This resulted in us having to reject vast amounts of section. Once bitten twice shy.
“More recently Jackie was very helpful in us attaining our ISO9001 accreditation. The information for tooling and die numbers is very simple. In summary, we have always had great service and price from Love Aluminium and I am proud to say they are a major supplier to us at VierLight.”
From design to delivery, Love Aluminium provides a one stop shop solution. Our complete, end-to-end service includes design, tooling, extrusion, finishing and logistics.
