T-slot structural framing is a framing system consisting of lengths of square or rectangular extruded aluminum, typically 6105-T5 aluminium alloy, with a T-slot down the centerline of one or more sides. It is also known as 80/20 framing, after the company 80/20, Inc., one of the prominent T-slot framing brands, the name of which is based on the 80/20 principle. While there is no published standard defining this framing system, manufacturers have settled into two categories of product comprising several series each that is generally intercompatible across manufacturers.

T-Slotted Aluminum Framing TSLOTS is the only provider of aluminum extrusion products that handles every step of the process in house, from design to production, packaging and shipping. We use principles of lean manufacturing to get every order to the customer on time, with unmatched precision. T Slot aluminum is tough enough for most structural framing applications. Unlike steel, aluminum is rust resistant. The anodized coating on extruded aluminum is a natural coating that prevents rust.
T-slot framing is divided into metric and fractional (imperial) categories. The T-slot is always centered along the long-axis of the piece. Pieces are available in each series with a square cross-section. Rectangular cross sections are available as well which measure x by 2x (where x is the defined width) - e.g. 40mx80mm for 40 series.
Profile type | Profile name | Profile size |
---|---|---|
fractional | 10 series | 1' |
15 series | 1.5' | |
metric | 20 series | 20 mm |
25 series | 25 mm | |
30 series | 30 mm | |
40 series | 40 mm | |
45 series | 45 mm |
