Shaun Cartwright is the company’s national sales manager of domestic systems – so he is well placed to see what is selling. He writes: Our portfolio of products includes a new slimline casement window, a new entrance door system with a range of pivot and panel door options, plus an outdoor living range of structures, the Pergola system. Complementing these new fenestration systems is a new range of garage door and roller shutter systems which helps home improvement companies to range build across a wide range of aluminium improvement products.
Homeowner appeal
For homeowners, aluminium framed windows are an excellent choice for home improvement. They are strong, durable and have a sleek, modern appearance. They are a low-maintenance option. Unlike wood, aluminium doesn’t warp, crack, or require regular repainting. They stand up well to harsh weather conditions.
Its inherent strength also allows for slimmer frames, which means larger glass panels and more natural light in the home. Additionally, aluminium frames can be powder-coated in a wide range of colours and finishes to match any home’s style.
Performance
From a performance standpoint, modern aluminium windows feature high performance thermal breaks and double or triple glazing, significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing heat loss. This makes them a smart investment, not only for comfort but also for lowering energy bills over time. Aluminium is also 100% recyclable, making the choice an environmentally friendly option for homeowners looking to make sustainable decisions.
Partner Day
We recently hosted our ‘Aluprof Living’ partner day, bringing together key fabricators and industry professionals for a day of collaboration, insight and innovation. Held at our showroom and training facility in Altrincham, the event showed our latest product developments and sustainable solutions in aluminium systems, highlighting the company’s commitment to excellence and partnership. With a mix of keynote presentations and interactive exhibits, attendees gained knowledge about upcoming trends and Aluprof’s role in shaping the future of home improvement design.
One of the highlights of the presentation was the newly introduced casement slim frame window specifically designed for the UK and Ireland market. The Aluprof MB79N CSF slim casement frame is an efficient solution for modern residential and commercial buildings. Designed with minimalist aesthetics in mind, it offers slim sightlines that enhance natural light and create a sleek, contemporary look.
Engineered for high performance, the MB79N CSF slim casement frame achieves an impressive U-value of 0.93 W/m²K for openable windows with triple glazing, making it an ideal solution for energy-efficient buildings and modern thermal standards. Its specially designed hinge system supports sash weights of up to 80 kg, allowing for larger window sizes that maximise natural light. Alongside its thermal efficiency, the system offers versatile configuration options, combining flexibility with a sleek, contemporary look that appeals to both architects and homeowners.
On a roll
At the Aluprof Living launch event, Mags Herbert, Aluprof’s garage door and rolling systems sales manager, also introduced Aluprof’s SkyRoll and insect screens to the delegates designed to seamlessly complement the Aluprof pergolas and sliding systems to enhance outdoor living with practical, stylish shading and protection solutions.
The partner day was not only an opportunity to share expertise but also to celebrate the strong relationships that underpin Aluprof UK’s continued growth in this trade sector.
