Aluminium: Sleek, Strong & Architecturally Refined.

Aluminium is the go-to choice for contemporary builds, large glazed openings, and slimline aesthetics. Its strength allows for narrow frames and expansive glass panels, making it ideal for modern residential architecture, commercial projects, and energy-conscious developments.

Modern Aluminium Windows on a Building

What Is Aluminium?

Aluminium window and door systems are:

  • Structurally robust yet lightweight for large, minimalistic designs
  • Highly weather-resistant and corrosion-proof
  • Thermally broken with internal insulation to prevent heat transfer

Thanks to its rigidity and slim profile, aluminium suits both bold architectural statements and understated elegance.

How It’s Made

  • Aluminium extrusion – Frame profiles are created from aluminium billets
  • Thermal break technology – Polyamide strips inserted to reduce heat transfer
  • Powder coating or anodising – Finishes in any RAL colour or metallic tint
  • Sealing and glazing – Precision-machined for triple glazing, security, and airtightness

🎯 Why Choose Aluminium?

  • Slim Profile Aesthetics: Allows maximum glass area with minimal visual obstruction.
  • Longevity & Strength: Corrosion-resistant, ideal for coastal or high-exposure environments.
  • Low Maintenance: No warping, rotting, or repainting—just occasional cleaning.
  • Large Format Compatibility: Perfect for panoramic windows, sliding doors, and curtain walls.

Performance Highlights

  • U-values as low as 0.80 W/m²K (Reynaers Masterline 10)
  • Air permeability: Class 4 (EN 12207)
  • Water tightness: Class E1200 (EN 12208)
  • Wind resistance: Class C5
  • Security: PAS24 & RC2 certified profiles
