Rubber extrusions play a vital role in modern architecture. Architectural rubber extrusions are used for weatherproofing, sealing and even aesthetics. As an experienced manufacturer of custom extruded rubber for architectural applications, Elbex can provide solutions that meet the specific demands of your architectural projects. Elbex’s Expertise in Architectural Rubber Solutions The Elbex team brings decades of experience to produce successful architectural rubber extrusions. We start by using our knowledge of how different rubber compounds like EPDM and silicone match up to different architectural needs, like weather resistance and UV stability. We strive to choose materials that meet performance requirements while still matching the building’s design. This material knowledge is complemented by our advanced design capabilities. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and processes allow us to ensure tight tolerances and quality control throughout manufacturing. Our use of cutting edge software and engineering expertise, combined with our collaborative focus when working with architects and designers, also enables us to produce high-quality custom extrusions. Benefits of Elbex’s Custom Rubber Extrusions For Architecture Custom rubber profiles for architecture offer several distinct advantages. Custom profiles that are adapted to specific architectural needs lead to improved energy efficiency, weatherproofing, acoustics, and fire safety in buildings. The design freedom offered by our custom engineering also allows architects and designers to maintain the building’s aesthetic appeal without sacrificing functionality. Finally, by ensuring the right material mix is used, you can have confidence that our rubber extrusions will resist weathering and degradation. Long-term performance will greatly reduce your building maintenance costs. Applications of Elbex’s Architectural Rubber Extrusions There are many applications for architectural rubber extrusions, but the following are some of the most popular: Window and door seals: Airtight and watertight seals for doors and windows dramatically improve a building’s energy efficiency. We can create custom profiles that match unique window designs. Curtain wall systems: Rubber extrusions can help seal and weatherproof curtain wall systems, improving the building’s aesthetics and structural integrity. Expansion joints: Expansion joints accommodate movement in structures from temperature changes, settling, or soil expansion. This prevents cracks and other potential damage. For high-quality custom rubber profiles for architecture, you can count on Elbex. With our custom engineering and design capabilities, we are uniquely equipped to help architects, designers, and construction professionals bring their vision to life.

In manufacturing, precise tooling is an absolute must, especially when creating custom extrusions. Outsourcing tooling may seem like a good idea, but this can often lead to delays and poor quality control. Instead, working with Elbex, which offers in-house tool and die design and custom tooling capabilities, can ensure you get the efficiency and quality you need. The Elbex Advantage: On-Site Tooling for Unmatched Efficiency In-house tooling provides several noteworthy advantages for your project. First, doing everything in-house eliminates outsourcing costs, which can result in significant cost savings. Doing everything in-house also streamlines the production process, dramatically reducing lead times, minimizing delays, and improving the overall project workflow. All of this enables us to improve the delivery schedule for your finished products and ensure that deadlines are met. Perhaps most importantly, however, doing everything in-house allows us to maintain meticulous control over the entire process, ensuring that finished seals and gaskets meet quality standards. Elbex’s Tooling Capabilities: From Design to Production At Elbex, we offer a wide range of custom tooling capabilities that benefit the entire manufacturing process. We use AutoCAD to create precise 2-D models, which are the foundation for accurate tooling. Our engineers also leverage their industry expertise to optimize tool and die design for specific materials and profiles. During production, we use wire EDM to create intricate shapes and complex profiles with exceptional precision, as well as sinker EDM to create complex cavities and shapes in dies and molds. Precise cuts and finishes enabled by these processes ensure consistent quality for rubber seals and gaskets, even with intricate designs. The Elbex Process: A Seamless Experience By keeping everything in-house, we offer a streamlined experience from start to finish. We begin by assessing your needs and defining tooling requirements during an initial consultation. After this, our engineering team gets to work, using AutoCAD to design and model the tooling. Once the design phase is complete, we can begin manufacturing in-house, using wire EDM, sinker EDM, and other processes as needed to achieve custom tooling. Rigorous quality control measures are implemented throughout production so that both tool and die design, as well as finished seals and gaskets, meet all necessary quality standards. With our on-site custom tooling capabilities, Elbex can deliver a seamless experience at every stage of the project, while achieving the consistent quality you need.
