Property developers today find themselves in the difficult position of having to build not only to increasingly high energy performance standards but in ways that meet the rapidly evolving demands of today’s end users.
The need to erect smarter, more efficient buildings has never been greater, and that means the choice of materials in construction is of the utmost importance. One material that has been the driving force behind this new wave of architectural thinking is aluminium.
For investors, architects, and developers, aluminium windows and doors are no longer the up-market luxury they once were; they are a competitive advantage. Nobody understands this better than Aluprof, one of Europe’s largest suppliers of modern aluminium systems.
Built to withstand today’s demands
Gone are the days when aluminium was exclusively associated with industrial bohemia. Today, this sought-after material is prized by the design community for its structural integrity, slim sightlines, corrosion-resistant properties, and sustainable features. These are all qualities that Aluprof’s advanced aluminium systems possess, but engineering is where the company truly shines. Each of their systems offers the superior performance that our most challenging environments demand.
Remaining compliant with ever-stricter building regulations, Aluprof has developed a new generation of thermally insulated windows and doors available in various configurations, from residential to commercial. For example, the MB-104 Passive system is one of the most thermally efficient on the market and is designed for the most energy-conscious architects and developers. It is among the best in class when it comes to thermal insulation and claims a Uw from 0.53 W/(m²K), making it ideal for passive houses and low-energy commercial buildings. It also exceeds what is currently required by UK building regulations and qualifies for use on the continent.
Maximising light, minimising sightlines
One of the many reasons aluminium systems have become increasingly fashionable is that they allow for large expanses of glass to be used, without the need for thick and bulky profiles often associated with other materials such as timber or uPVC. This, in turn, promotes the feel of more natural light and more generous sightlines, granting undisturbed views out of a new home as well as a more streamlined aesthetic.
Aluprof’s MB-Slimline and MB-77HS lift and slide doors are engineered to offer narrow, sleek sightlines paired with unobtrusive design. The doors comprise a modern cosmetic line of the window frame at the bottom of a window sash and of a lock mounted in the sash profile. The doors and windows are available in hundreds of finishes.
Materials suited for the future
Let’s face it: sustainability is a sticking point, and for many, a deal-breaker. Because aluminium is, in fact, 100% recyclable without any negative impact on its technical capabilities, detractors’ reasons for dismissing this unique material fail to hold water. At Aluprof, sustainable design and environmental stewardship are an integral part of business. They have obtained Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), which have resulted in a complete certificate for door–window systems.
Ensuring safety in the face of risk
In an age of uncertainty, how safe we are where we live and work is a common question for tenants, homebuyers, and even office workers. All are looking for security and peace of mind. With Aluprof windows and doors created in various burglary resistance classes, we aim for a higher level of security service. If you can achieve this without sacrificing design, it’s a win-win.
Beyond security, their systems are compatible with smart home and building automation, which also appeals to property technology customers.
Flexibility for Architects and Developers
Aluprof systems are naturally flexible and designed to fit architecture, not the other way around. This means there will be a system to match your exact needs. If your project needs tilt-and-turn windows, folding doors, curtain walling, or fire-rated solutions, there’s a system created for that purpose.
The MB-86 system, for example, is known as the best aluminium window on the Polish construction market. It ranges with solutions with respect to thermal insulation performance (MB-86 ST, SI, MB-86), options available for inward and outward opening windows and doors, and appearance options.
Investing in a stronger, smarter aluminium construction
Aluminium windows and doors are more than they appear; they represent a careful, long-term consideration for the savvy property investor. From energy efficiency, security, aesthetic flexibility, and durability, the argument is easily made that aluminium outperforms other material choices in every aspect that matters.
