1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass

It is a horizontal 6063-T6 aluminum channel profile used between Alumission posts as a top or bottom frame member. Its integrated 0.250″ channel receives compatible 1/4″ panel material.

It is mainly used to frame 1/4″ glass or acrylic panels, but it can also be used with compatible aluminum sheet, laser-cut decorative panels, and properly prepared wire mesh.

This profile is designed primarily for horizontal installation at the top and bottom of a panel opening. For the vertical panel edges, use the Aluminum Post Cover For Glass on the post channels.

The regular 1″ slat is solid infill for privacy or decorative fence layouts. This Slat For Glass has an integrated 0.250″ receiving channel specifically intended to capture compatible panel material.

Yes. It can be incorporated into properly designed fence, gate, privacy-screen, and architectural infill assemblies. The complete frame, post spacing, hardware, and panel material must suit the project.

Yes, when the complete system is designed and installed for the project conditions and applicable codes. Confirm engineering and code requirements where structural or guard applications are involved.

Yes. The 0.250″ channel is intended for compatible 1/4″ glass. Use appropriate safety glazing, setting materials, clearances, and installation methods required by the panel supplier and local code.

You may use compatible clear, frosted, tinted, colored, patterned, or other 1/4″ glass options available from your glass supplier. Verify the exact finished thickness before ordering or cutting the frame.

Yes. Compatible 1/4″ acrylic can be used in clear, frosted, tinted, translucent, or opaque colors available from the acrylic supplier. Allow for the material’s expansion and installation requirements.

Yes. A compatible 1/4″ aluminum sheet can create a solid privacy or architectural infill panel. Confirm actual thickness, edge condition, weight, and required support.

Yes. A compatible 1/4″ laser-cut aluminum panel can create a decorative pattern while the channel provides a clean framed edge. The design and remaining material must be strong enough for the application.

Yes, when the prepared wire-mesh panel edge fits the 0.250″ channel. All cut wire ends must be safely contained, and the mesh must be framed and supported for the intended fence application.

Many suitable 1/4″ materials can work, but nominal thickness alone does not guarantee fit. Check the actual finished thickness, coatings, protective film, edge shape, expansion, stiffness, weight, and outdoor suitability.

No. The panel material is sold separately and should be selected and fabricated for your specific opening and installation.

The nominal profile size is 1.000″ high × 0.803″ wide.

The nominal panel channel is 0.250″ wide and 0.500″ deep.

The nominal wall thickness shown on the profile drawing is 0.065″.

The nominal bottom opening shown on the drawing is 0.276″.

The profile weighs approximately 0.339 lb per linear foot. Actual shipping weight can vary with length, finish, packaging, and normal manufacturing tolerances.

Use the Aluminum Post Cover For Glass on the vertical post channels. It reduces the post’s 0.803″ channel to a 0.250″ receiving channel for compatible 1/4″ material.

No. They perform complementary jobs in the complete frame: this slat captures the top and bottom panel edges, while the Post Cover For Glass reduces the vertical channels in the posts.

Use this 1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass horizontally at the top and bottom. Use Aluminum Post Cover For Glass in the post channels on the left and right sides to create a coordinated 0.250″ receiving frame.

Measure the finished frame opening and account for the required channel engagement, setting blocks, gaskets, expansion, drainage, fabrication tolerances, and clearances specified for the selected panel material.

Safety-glazing requirements depend on the application and local code. Glass used in fences, gates, guards, or areas exposed to impact may require tempered, laminated, or otherwise approved safety glass. Confirm with the glass supplier and local authority.

Requirements depend on the panel material and system design. Glass and acrylic commonly need appropriate setting, isolation, cushioning, drainage, or sealing materials. Follow the panel supplier’s instructions and applicable code.

No. Posts, Post Cover For Glass, panel material, gaskets, setting blocks, sealants, screws, caps, and installation hardware are sold separately.

Yes. Cut it with suitable aluminum-cutting equipment and a fine-tooth blade. Measure carefully, support the extrusion, wear appropriate protection, and deburr every cut edge before assembly.

Confirm the finished opening, panel material and actual thickness, horizontal and vertical channel engagement, chosen finish, profile lengths, cut plan, hardware, drainage, wind exposure, and local code requirements.

Available finishes are Black, Bronze, White, Dark Gray, and Light Gray.

Yes. The exterior aluminum is powder coated for a durable, coordinated finish with compatible Alumission components.

Yes. Mass-production powder coating is very accurate. For the best visual match, compare all components together before final assembly.

Yes. The 6063-T6 aluminum construction and powder-coated finish are suitable for outdoor use when the complete panel system is properly designed, drained, installed, and maintained.

No. Aluminum does not rust like steel.

Wash with mild soap and clean water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse well and avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents, and aggressive chemicals.

Touch-up is optional for appearance and added surface protection. Aluminum will not rust like steel, but an exposed cut edge will not have the same powder-coated finish.

6′ and 8′ lengths are available for online purchase in the listed finishes, subject to current stock.

Yes. The 10′ length can be ordered by phone with an Alumission representative. It cannot be purchased online, and shipping charges may apply.

It is shown so customers know the longer profile is available. Because long-profile shipping must be reviewed, the 10′ length is handled by phone rather than online checkout.

Yes. The price shown after selecting a purchasable length and color is for one profile in that exact variation unless the product page states otherwise.

Yes. Oversize packaging, carrier restrictions, destination, and order quantity can affect shipping. An Alumission representative will review applicable shipping charges for phone orders.

Cut, drilled, installed, damaged, or otherwise modified material may not be eligible for return. Review the current return policy and confirm all measurements before fabrication.

Yes. The aluminum profile is noncombustible. Fire performance of the complete assembly also depends on the panel, gaskets, sealants, finishes, and adjoining materials.

No. This extrusion is a panel-retaining frame component, not a complete structural system by itself. Posts, spans, foundations, connections, panel weight, wind loads, and code requirements must be considered together.

Potentially, but pool barriers and guards have strict rules for height, openings, climbability, loads, glazing, and hardware. The complete assembly must be designed and installed to meet every applicable local requirement.

A qualified installer familiar with aluminum framing and the selected panel material is recommended, especially for glass, large panels, gates, elevated guards, or code-regulated applications.
