For their strength and sleek design, as well as exceptional functionality, aluminium windows and doors have become popular in modern architecture. The manufacture process of these products includes a range of complex steps to meet high quality standards, energy efficiency and pleasing to the eye.
In explaining the housing clients, architects and constructors how customized aluminium windows and doors are made can provide insight as to the benefits of the material, and how the manufacturing process facilitates the end product's performance and longevity.
Let IMLANG's innovative window and door designs inspire your next project, combining style and durability with ease.
Before any of that, though, in this article we shall take a look at how aluminum windows and doors are made step by step, right from designing to material preparation and from manufacture to final installation ready product.
Aluminum windows and doors are manufactured by designing and planning with care. The first step to spec'ing windows and doors is a collaboration between architects, manufacturers, and customers that set the specifications for the windows and doors based on the desired use, design style, and function.
Once we have designed specs, a detailed blueprint is made to guide the production process.
However, most aluminium windows and doors are made from aluminium extrusions that are manufactured by forcing aluminium through a die to produce long profiles with specific cross sectional shapes. It is the quality of the aluminium that is used that is critical to the overall performance and expected life of the product.
According to the specific performance of the windows and doors it is that the material is chosen. Larger doors or windows need extra structural integrity and can use, for example, high strength aluminium alloys.
The second stage includes extrusion of aluminium profiles with processing of raw material to get frames, sashes and other parts of windows and doors. Extrusion is a very precise process of forcing aluminum billets at high pressure through a die and thereby creating a shape.
The extrusion process is highly customizable, and manufacturers can custom create profiles that are not just functional, but pleasing to look at as well. The aluminium frames produced are light and strong, and a great support for big glass panels.
Aluminium profiles are extruded, cut to size and then goes through various surface treatment processes, which enhance durability, aesthetics, and resistance to the environment. Besides protection against corrosion, the surface treatment improves the appearance of the material.
Painting: For those who like a high gloss or a custom finish, painting is an option. The aluminium profiles are primed and painted and then baked through, to give a good even finish.
Once the aluminium profiles are treated they are only proceeded by cutting, machining, drilling, openings so the hardware, locks, hinges, and glass installation are assembled precisely.
Machined parts are designed so the parts all fit together and the door or window will operate smoothly when assembled.
Before aluminium windows and doors can be sold, the glass panes must be installed. We found glass that is single, double, or even triple glazed depending on design and specs for added thermal insulation and noise reduction.
Aluminium frame slots tightly fitting glass panes are held in place with rubber seals or gaskets. This also prevents the leakage of air, as well as water.
Once the frame, the glass, the seals, the hardware have been made individually, they are assembled into window and door units. At this stage all the parts are put together in a carefully controlled environment.
Aluminium windows and doors pass rigorous quality control and testing before being shipped out to customers, against industry standards for performance, safety and aesthetics.
After they have passed all tests, windows and doors are packaged and ready for delivery.
The manufacturing process of customized aluminium windows and doors is complex, which starts with design followed by installation. This meticulous, careful manufacturing process is resulting in the key aluminium advantages like strength, durability, energy efficiency and sleek design.
