MexyTech is excited to present a groundbreaking installation method for our latest co-extrusion aluminum tube product. specifically designed to address common challenges in traditional building element installations. Unlike conventional methods that rely on visible U-shaped clips, which can detract from the overall aesthetic, our new installation system offers a seamless appearance and significant time-saving advantages. The process not only reduces outdoor work intensity but also minimizes labor costs and risks by allowing pre-installation in a controlled environment.
Aesthetic and Functional Advantages of MexyTech’s Installation Method
1. No Visible Fasteners – A Cleaner Look
One of the key selling points of the MexyTech co-extrusion aluminum tube system is its ability to eliminate visible fasteners. In traditional installations, U-shaped clips and screws are often visible, which can disrupt the clean, sleek appearance architects and designers seek for building facades and other architectural features. MexyTech’s innovative design allows for hidden fasteners, which dramatically improves the visual appeal of the finished project. The result is a streamlined and modern look where no hardware interrupts the flow of the design, making it ideal for high-end architectural applications, such as louvers, sunshades, screens, pergolas, and decorative wall cladding.

2. Advanced Co-extrusion Technology
The same advanced co-extrusion technology that made our Suprotect wood-plastic composite (WPC) decking a market leader has been applied to our aluminum tube products. The surface layer of the co-extrusion aluminum tubes is crafted from durable materials that resist scratches, stains, and weathering, while the aluminum core provides structural integrity. This fusion of materials creates a product that is not only lightweight and easy to handle but also incredibly durable and capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions. Importantly, this combination achieves the highest fire safety ratings, ensuring that it meets the strictest safety standards for exterior applications.
A Revolutionary Pre-Installation Approach
1. Pre-Assembly for Efficiency and Safety
Traditional installation methods often involve workers attaching individual aluminum tubes directly onto the building’s exterior, one by one. This can be a time-consuming process, especially for large-scale projects. Furthermore, outdoor installation increases the complexity and risk of the work, particularly for high-rise buildings or projects in extreme weather conditions. Workers are exposed to prolonged periods of physical strain and height-related risks, which adds to the challenges of traditional installations.
MexyTech’s innovative pre-installation approach eliminates many of these issues. Instead of installing each tube separately, entire sections of tubes can be pre-assembled in a controlled environment—either indoors or in a safer, accessible area on-site. This approach drastically reduces the need for workers to perform repetitive and physically demanding tasks in challenging outdoor conditions. Once the sections are pre-assembled, they can be easily transported and mounted onto the building’s facade, reducing both labor time and the need for specialized outdoor work.
2. Reduced Installation Time by Up to 30%
Efficiency is a cornerstone of the MexyTech installation process. Our system cuts installation time by **up to 30%.compared to conventional methods. This is achieved through the pre-assembly of large sections, which can then be swiftly attached to the building exterior. With traditional methods, installers must work on each tube individually, aligning and fastening each piece, which is time-intensive. The MexyTech method allows for entire sections to be installed in a fraction of the time, significantly reducing labor costs and project timelines.
This efficiency is especially beneficial in large construction projects, where time is of the essence. Contractors and developers will appreciate the ability to meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality or safety.
The Installation Process: Step-by-Step
1. Preparing the Area
Before starting the installation, it is crucial to prepare the mounting area properly. The first step is to measure and mark the wall where the pre-assembled sections will be attached. Accuracy at this stage is key to ensuring a smooth installation process later on. Use tools such as a spirit level and measuring tape to ensure that all measurements are precise. This preparation helps avoid errors during the installation, which could lead to misalignment or structural instability.
2. Pre-Assembling the Aluminum Tubes
The pre-assembly process takes place in a safe, controlled environment, such as indoors or a flat, easily accessible area on the construction site. During this phase, the aluminum tubes are assembled into large sections using rivets and bolts. This ensures that the tubes are securely connected and aligned according to the project specifications.
Another important step in the pre-assembly process is inserting end caps into both ends of the tubes. These caps provide a clean, finished appearance and prevent dirt, moisture, or debris from entering the tubes. Once assembled, the large sections are ready to be transported to the building site for installation.
3. Installing the L-Brackets
Once the mounting area has been prepared, the next step is to install the L-brackets that will hold the pre-assembled sections in place. Start by drilling into the wall at the pre-marked points and securing the brackets using expansion screws. The L-brackets provide the primary support for the aluminum tube sections and must be securely fastened to ensure the stability of the final installation.
4. Attaching the Pre-Assembled Tube Sections
With the L-brackets securely in place, the pre-assembled sections of tubes can now be lifted and mounted onto the wall. This step is where the time-saving benefits of MexyTech’s system become evident. Instead of painstakingly installing each tube individually, the entire pre-assembled section can be attached to the brackets in one step. The frame is then fixed onto the L-brackets with screws, ensuring that the tubes are securely attached to the wall.
For projects requiring multiple sections, simply repeat this process until the entire area is covered. Since each section is pre-assembled and ready for mounting, the overall installation time is drastically reduced.
5. Final Adjustments
After all sections have been installed, it is essential to check the alignment and make any necessary final adjustments. Using a spirit level or other leveling tools, ensure that the tubes are straight and aligned according to the project’s design specifications. Any minor misalignments can be corrected at this stage to ensure that the finished project looks professional and polished.
The MexyTech Advantage
MexyTech’s co-extrusion aluminum tube installation system offers numerous advantages over traditional methods:
- Time Efficiency: By reducing installation time by up to 30%, MexyTech’s system helps contractors complete projects faster and more cost-effectively.
