Regular engineering specifications: 600*600mm, 800*800mm, 300*1200mm, 600*1200mm.
Thickness of aluminum gusset:
The common thickness of aluminum gusset is 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1mm. Generally, the aluminum gusset for engineering is only 0.8mm, and it is enough to use 0.6mm for the aluminum gusset for home decoration. The thicker the aluminum gusset, the greater the hardness, and the less likely it is to be deformed. Is the thicker the aluminum gusset the better? The quality of the aluminum gusset does not entirely depend on the thickness, but the texture of the aluminum material. Inferior aluminum gussets have high content of iron and heavy metals, and the plates are heavy and easy to break. Imported plates are generally 0.5mm-0.6mm thick, while domestic plates are 0.6mm-0.8mm thick.
What are the advantages of aluminum gussets
1. Excellent surface coating performance. The high-quality aluminum gusset has a flat surface, no color difference, strong coating adhesion, resistance to acid, alkali, and salt spray erosion, no discoloration for a long time, and no paint peeling off. Fluorocarbon coated board is an extremely ideal decoration for outdoor use. The material has a service life of more than 20 years, and is easy to maintain. It is clean as new after washing with water.
2. Strong compound fastness. High-quality aluminum gussets are made of high-polymer plastics and polymer materials by hot pressing. Generally, there is no damage to the adhesive layer after a 2-hour boiling water test.
3. Strong temperature adaptability. Aluminum gussets can generally be used under large temperature changes, and their excellent performance is not affected.
4. Light weight and high strength. Generally, each board is about 8.5 kg on average. Under the same stiffness, the weight is much lighter than other materials.
5. Sound insulation and shockproof. The sound insulation of air is better than other boards, and the thermal conductivity is small. It is an ideal building material for sound insulation, heat insulation and shock resistance.

What material is good for the aluminum gusset plate? Titanium aluminum alloy gusset plate
Strength and stiffness: ★★★★ Oxidation resistance: ★★★★
Titanium aluminum alloy gusset plate not only has both aluminum and magnesium alloys It has the advantages of both aluminum and manganese alloys, and also has the characteristics of strong acid and alkali resistance. It is the best material for long-term use in kitchens and bathrooms. The disadvantage is that the production process of the titanium-aluminum alloy gusset is relatively complicated and the cost is higher, so the price is relatively expensive.
Aluminum-magnesium alloy gusset plate
Strength and stiffness: ★★★ Oxidation resistance: ★★★★
Good oxidation resistance, at the same time because of the content of manganese, it also has a certain Strength and stiffness, easy to paint, low density, good heat dissipation, strong compression resistance. The disadvantage is that the yield of aluminum-magnesium alloy die-casting parts is low, the price of domestic materials is cheap, but the quality is poor, and it is easy to yellow or partially fall off after long-term use.
Aluminum-manganese alloy gusset plate
Strength and stiffness: ★★★★ Oxidation resistance: ★★★
Aluminum-manganese alloy has high manganese content, so the strength and stiffness are relatively high. It also has good formability and corrosion resistance, good anti-rust function and long service life. However, the oxidation resistance of aluminum-manganese alloys is not as good as that of aluminum-magnesium alloys, and both sides need to be protected to basically solve the shortcomings of their oxidation resistance that are not as good as those of aluminum-magnesium alloys.
Ordinary aluminum alloy gusset plate
Strength and stiffness: ★★ Oxidation resistance: ★★
The price of ordinary aluminum alloy gusset plate is relatively cheap, soft and easy to process, as long as Reaching a certain thickness, it can basically meet the most basic flatness requirements of the ceiling. The manganese and magnesium content of this material are low, the strength, stiffness and anti-oxidation capacity are obviously low, it is easy to deform during processing, transportation and installation, and the service life is short.
Tips for purchasing aluminum gussets
1. Look at the thickness: 0.6 mm
The thicker the aluminum gusset, the better Well, the thickness of the household aluminum gusset plate can reach 0.6 mm. Thick aluminum gussets may be due to impure aluminum raw materials, poor quality, or poor technology from the manufacturer.
2. Selection process: surface treatment is very important
The surface treatment of aluminum gusset can be divided into spraying, rolling, laminating and other forms . Among them, the sprayed board has shortcomings such as short service life and prone to chromatic aberration; the surface of the roller coated board is uniform and smooth, without obvious defects such as leakage, shrinkage, scratches, and falling off; the surface of the film-coated board is a layer of PVC film, with Firm, no wrinkles, scratches, falling off, missing stickers, etc.
3. Pick material: titanium-aluminum alloy material is good
The material of aluminum gusset plate is divided into titanium-aluminum alloy, aluminum-magnesium alloy, aluminum-manganese alloy and Ordinary aluminum alloy and other types. Titanium-aluminum alloy gusset has good oxidation resistance, excellent strength and rigidity, and also has the characteristics of strong acid and alkali resistance. It is the best material for long-term use in kitchens and bathrooms. It is suggested that the titanium-aluminum alloy gusset can be preferred if the budget is sufficient.
4. Frame keel: “Snowflake” galvanized surface is of better quality
The aluminum gusset ceiling keel is divided into light steel keel and wood keel. The installation methods include light steel keel plus wooden keel or light steel keel plus screw hanger. The light steel keel with better quality on the market has a snowflake-like surface after being galvanized, commonly known as “snowboard”.
5. After-sales: electrical installation needs to be matched
The integrated ceiling aluminum gusset is a semi-finished product and requires professional installation before it can be used. Quality is divided into seven parts installation”. When first installed, the aluminum gusset can be cut according to the shape of the appliance. However, when electrical appliances are repaired, since electrical appliances and aluminum gussets are products of different merchants, if the electrical appliances need to be replaced with products of different sizes, and the aluminum gusset maintenance personnel do not arrive in time to re-cut the aluminum gussets, the maintenance schedule will be delayed.
How much is a square meter of aluminum gusset plate
Only from the material price of aluminum gusset plate, the general price of aluminum gusset plate is 40-100 yuan/square meter. The price of the aluminum gusset with good quality and novel shape will be higher. The main factors affecting the price of aluminum gussets are the brand of aluminum gussets, the thickness of aluminum gussets, the quality of aluminum gussets, etc. The editor reminds everyone to look at several brand products when purchasing aluminum gussets, and try to choose high-quality raw materials, Products with acceptable thickness.

Cleaning and maintenance of aluminum gusset plate
1. Clean directly with water. Usually, the gusset plate in the kitchen will be brushed or nano-board, because it has good oil resistance, usually just wipe it with a soft cloth. If there is no oil stain, just scrub with a soft cloth with water, and it is enough to do a deep cleaning once a year with the kitchen cleaning method.
2. Wash with detergent. Use a small amount of dishwashing liquid and add water at a ratio of 1:25 to dilute it. Use a relatively soft, highly absorbent cloth to soak it in water to scrub it. The middle part of the gusset can be scrubbed hard, but the When using the surrounding area, the force should be light, and special attention should be paid not to scrub with hard objects and cleaning balls, which will leave small scratches on the bright panel.
3. Deep cleaning method. The deep cleaning should be done in two times. The first time is to scrub with a soft cloth dipped in water, and the second time is to scrub with detergent. You can also use a professional cleaning agent such as 3M cleaner to clean grease and oil stains. And dirt cleaning agent, open the window to ventilate and dry naturally. If the ventilation and sunlight are not good, then wipe it with a better quality paper towel once.
Common problems of aluminum gussets
1. There are gaps between individual aluminum gussets
Due to the negligence of construction workers, the installation of aluminum gussets is not in place , it is also possible that the construction personnel are not skilled enough, and the keel is not installed smoothly.
2. There are large gaps in the aluminum gusset ceiling
The aluminum gusset plate and the keel are not matching products, the supporting keel and aluminum gusset plate produced by regular manufacturers The buckle is very tight, and the pitch of the keel and the plate is also very precise.
3. The corners of the aluminum gusset ceiling are warped or the glue will be opened in less than half a month
The glue is installed at the corners, and the glue is not enough or If the glue quality is not good, the corners may warp. The wall is installed by punching. If the wall tiles are pasted with holes, it is easy to crack the wall tiles. If the edge of the aluminum gusset is raised, you can place a broken tile at the raised corner to press down the raised part.
4. The aluminum gusset goes up with a light touch
This phenomenon is often caused by the worker not opening the bayonet on the corner. Sometimes due to the carelessness of the workers, the problem is forgotten. So this is also one of the criteria for checking whether your aluminum gusset is hoisted.
