Why choose aluminum for your exterior joinery?
The choice of material for your joinery determines both their performance, durability, and the aesthetics of your facade. Aluminum is recognized for its technical qualities and sleek style, making it a wise investment for outdoor fittings.
A modern and stylish material
Aluminum allows for the creation of fine and elegant joinery, letting in maximum natural light. Its wide range of finishes and colors offers almost infinite possibilities to personalize your facade.
This material fits well in both contemporary architectures and renovations of old buildings.
Excellent resistance to weather
In French-speaking Switzerland, climatic variations can put your joinery to the test. Aluminum does not warp, does not rust, and retains its appearance over the years.
It withstands rain, wind, UV rays, and frost perfectly, making it an ideal choice for regions subjected to harsh winters.
A durable and eco-friendly solution
Aluminum is 100% recyclable and retains its properties after transformation. Its longevity makes it an environmentally friendly material, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
Its maintenance is limited to a simple wash with soapy water, without any special treatment.

Sliding or pocket versions optimize space and bring a contemporary style to your home.
An aluminum entrance door combines security, elegance, and insulation. Available in many designs, it can be solid, glazed, or semi-glazed.
Its low maintenance and resistance to break-ins make it a safe and aesthetic choice.
Aluminum is the material of choice for glazed structures such as verandas, conservatories, or bright extensions.
Its strength allows it to support large glazed surfaces while ensuring good waterproofing.

The installation techniques for aluminum joinery
The installation of aluminum joinery requires precision and expertise to ensure perfect sealing and optimal performance. The choice of technique depends on the type of project and the condition of the existing structure.
Installation in renovation on existing frame
This method involves keeping the existing frame and fixing the new aluminum joinery to it.
It is faster and avoids heavy work, provided that the old frame is in good condition.
Total removal installation
Total removal involves completely removing the old joinery, including the frame, to install a new aluminum set.
This is the ideal solution to optimize the glazed area and improve overall insulation.
Surface-mounted installation
Mainly used in new constructions, surface-mounted installation fixes the aluminum joinery to the masonry.
It allows for easy integration of interior insulation and achieves a perfectly aligned finish.
Complementary elements for your exterior joinery
To enhance comfort, security, or aesthetics, your aluminum joinery can be complemented by various accessories or arrangements.
Roller or hinged shutters
Shutters, whether motorized or manual, enhance thermal insulation and the security of your openings.
They can be matched to your joinery for a harmonious look.
Exterior blinds and sunshades
These solutions help regulate light and heat inside your home.
They also protect your glazing from dirt and wear.
Locks and secure glazing
For doors and sliding glass doors, you can opt for anti-burglary glazing and multi-point locks.
These devices significantly increase the level of security.

The color, type of glazing, or shape of the joinery may be subject to validation.
