Aluminium windows are without doubt an elegant and functional solution that enriches any interior. But have you ever wondered how they are made? What stages do they go through before they reach your home? We invite you on a fascinating journey through the production process of aluminium windows, from the initial design to the final installation.

Why aluminium?

There are many advantages to choosing aluminium as the raw material for the production of windows. Firstly, it is extremely strong and resistant to various weather conditions, which makes it perfect for buildings exposed to strong gusts of wind or frost. Thanks to its natural resistance to corrosion, aluminium maintains its properties for many years and does not require frequent maintenance, all of which translates into lower house maintenance costs. Moreover, aluminium windows are relatively light, which makes them easier to install and transport.

Another advantage of aluminium is its versatility. At the production stage, it can be formed into various shapes, which allows it to be freely adapted to individual architectural needs. Customers can choose from a wide range of colours and finishes, thanks to which aluminium windows suit perfectly the aesthetics of both modern and more traditional buildings. Thanks to the painting process, the coating is durable and resistant to scratching and fading, further enhancing the visual appeal of these products.

Aluminium is also an environmentally friendly material. It is fully recyclable, which significantly reduces the CO2 emissions associated with the production of new materials. Due to the customisation options, customers can personalise aluminium windows according to their own practical or aesthetic preferences. Therefore, regardless of whether it is for modern construction or the renovation of historic buildings, aluminium works perfectly, offering elegance, durability and functionality. 

How are aluminium windows made? 

The production of a single aluminium window is a complex process that differs significantly from the production of windows made from other materials such as PVC or wood. In this case, the crucial elements are:

  • extraordinary precision,
  • attention to detail,
  • The use of modern technologies.

The development of aluminium windows

The development of aluminium windows is a stage in which all the customer's requirements, as well as the specifics of the building, are taken into consideration. The design team carefully analyses the dimensions of the window openings and the technical parameters that should characterise the final products. It is also important that the colour chart and style of the window harmonise with the style of the building's interior and facade. Based on the information collected, a technical design is created, which constitutes the basis for further work. At this stage, sophisticated software such as CAD is used.

Production of aluminium windows

When the design of the aluminium window is ready, the execution of the aluminium window starts, which is a key stage in the whole process. At the beginning, the aluminium profiles are cut to the correct dimensions and shaped using modern devices that allow them to be cut to the correct lengths and the material to be formed.

The processing also includes milling the holes that will be used for the assembly of fittings and handles. In this process, special cutting heads and milling machines are used to ensure high accuracy and quality.

The individual window elements are then subjected to further processing, such as drilling and cutting - which is crucial for final installation. Indeed, each detail is of great importance for the final result.

Once all the components are ready, they are assembled together. Combining the individual components requires precise adjustment to ensure the tightness and functionality of the finished product. This process includes joining the frames and installing the seals and the fittings, which are crucial for durability and comfort of use.

Quality control of aluminium windows

Finally, each piece produced undergoes an accurate quality check to ensure that all requirements have been met. At this stage, various aspects are checked, such as the tightness, durability, and insulating properties of the windows. Thanks to all these efforts, customers can be sure that they receive a product that combines aesthetics, durability and high quality. 

Correct installation of aluminium windows guarantees their functionality 

The aluminium windows installation is a stage that is crucial for their functionality and aesthetics. If executed correctly, it not only guarantees the tightness and durability of the window, but also improves the energy efficiency of the building. Professionals start with the preparation of the window opening. Then, using the appropriate tools and installation materials, they secure the new window, taking care to maintain horizontal and vertical alignment.

The next step is to seal the joint between the window and the wall, preventing thermal bridges and providing excellent insulation. Finally, the necessary finishing is executed, such as fitting internal and external sills and masking the joints.

As the installation proceeds, specialists check that the windows operate smoothly and that all mechanisms, such as handles or hinges, work correctly. If installed professionally, aluminium windows serve for many years, maintaining their excellent performance.
