“Azimuth” is a noun meaning the horizontal angular distance from a reference direction, usually the northern point of the horizon, to the point where a vertical circle through a celestial body intersects the horizon, usually measured clockwise through 360°. 
 
The word “Azimuth” also is the horizontal angle of the observer's bearing in surveying, measured clockwise from a referent direction, as from the north, or from a referent celestial body, usually Polaris. 
 
“Azimuth” is pronounced Az' e-meth and is derived from ancient word interpretations for “The Way” or “Path.”  The management and employees of Azimuth Custom Extrusions, LLC offer our services as “the way” to achieve superior service, quality and pricing for all your extruded sheet
