Building a cover yourself with construction instructions for the innovative ALUSTECK® plug-in system is very easy. You build custom claddings and housings completely without sawing or welding. You build covers and claddings yourself in no time and can mount them directly to the wall or as a separate housing. You individually determine the size and shape of the cover or housing. By simply assembling the ALUSTECK® components like a kit, you create a professional do-it-yourself solution.
The materials from our range
Example: DIY instructions for building a cover and casing:
The lightweight base material for building your fan casing from extremely stable aluminum offers you the construction of individual covers of all kinds. The do-it-yourself construction is done by simply interlocking the individual components. The construction consists of aluminum profiles and special plug-in corner connectors, as well as panel material that you can have cut to size as external accessories directly at your hardware or DIY store.

Build panels without welding or screwing
For the construction of the frame or chassis of the fan housing or cover, the aluminum profiles are simply hammered into the connectors . In this way, all conceivable substructures for all types of bodies can be easily built without screws or welding.
Assemble the cabinet for the cladding
The fully assembled construction
At ALUSTECK® you order the material for your project like a kit, directly configured to your desired dimensions:
Insert sheet material
After you have assembled the construction for the carcass, clad it with the appropriate panel material. For this, the panels are inserted from the inside and then screwed from the outside to the webs. Do not insert the frame for wall mounting into the carcass yet.
Screw the frame construction for the back of the carcass to the wall
Screw frame back to wall
The finished frame wall construction
Subsequently, the frame is mounted at the corresponding wall position. For this, you screw the profile frame, which forms the element for the back of the carcass, directly and firmly to the wall. The connector pins point towards you.
Slide carcass cladding onto wall frame
The finished carcass with open back
Drive cladding into wall frame tenon
The housing of the trim/cover is now placed with its open back onto the connector pins of the wall bracket. Finally, use a plastic hammer to firmly drive the profile ends into the connectors until the cover is flush with the wall frame. Done!
