Aluminum T-Slot Profile Framing Technology
Aluminum T-Slot Framing Closed - Cover Profiles 30mm, 40mm, and 80mm
Closed and Cover T-Slot Profile Options
Often times when designing a structure it can be desirable to have a smooth exterior surface while still having the T-Slot functionality where needed. Paletti offers both closed profiles and T-Slot filling strips to help achieve flush exterior surfaces.
T-Slot insert options
Aluminum T-Slot cover strips
These strips can easily be cut to length, and snap inside the T-Slot, available in natural or black finishes
SP7920N - 20mm Cover Strip
SP7930N - 30mm Cover Strip
SP7900N - 40mm Cover Strip
Other T-Slot options - plastic and rubber inserts
The plastic insert strips are easily cut to length and then inserted into the T-Slot as needed. The plastic inserts are available in a variety of colors. The rubber inserts are available in different widths and black finishes.

Tear-Off T-Slot profiles
Tear-Off profile extrusions are commonly used in instances where closed surfaces are needed and the slot orientation is not always known in advance – typically in instances of on-site assembly. The T-Slots have a very thin wall surface and are easily opened and peeled away when needed.

Closed T-Slot profile extrusions
Paletti’s 30mm, 40mm, and 80mm partially closed framing profiles are part of their respective T-Slot series families, and so come with those same T-Slot dimensions. Their mechanical properties are similar to those shown on their respective pages or can be seen in the attached pdf’s and online resource links below. Please Note – all Paletti T-Slot closed profile frames are available in the natural anodized finish only.
