For your reference, we have included this chart of standard tolerances. The values
listed are generally on the loose side of the range. It is possible to achieve closer
tolerances in certain areas of specific profiles. We recommend that tighter tolerances
be considered carefully as the benefits may not offset the increase in labor costs to
produce the profile. The tighter the tolerances the slower the plastic extrusions run.
Below are values for some common materials.
