Anchor Magnets Ltd is the only UK manufacturer of Magnetic profiles. Our standard extruded magnetic profiles have been used successfully in the shower closure market for over 20 years and we continue to "extrude" in Sheffield. 'SHAPED' by our extrusion process to match the cavity in the aluminium frame, they can be simply pushed into place and remain captive without the need for adhesives.
With one length fitted to the door and one to the frame, a reliable, long-lasting, 'magnet-to-magnet' closure is achieved time after time. The same profile can be used for the door and the frame as we denote the NORTH pole with an identifying groove.
A typical profile shape is a ‘T' as shown below:
Extruded in flexible isotropic ferrite this magnetic principle is an inexpensive and a totally permanent magnetic solution. Over half of our 450 extrusion tools are shaped for shower door closures.
If you have a completely new design then that is not an issue to us. We have the ability, from a supplied engineering drawing, to put down a new die and run test samples within 10 working days.
These profiles can be supplied in rolls or cut lengths depending on the geometry of the profile.
