Aluminium, an all-rounder with countless benefits
Some people favour aluminium because of its environmental impact, others are fan of the design variety. Why would you choose aluminium as a material for your new windows and doors? We list ten reasons to make that choice a little easier.
It is no coincidence that aluminium is used for windows, doors, and façades in both iconic new builds and renovations around the world. Aluminium is a versatile material that is infinitely recyclable with no loss of quality. What is more, the industry-leading thermal insulation that aluminium offers, helps you to create highly energy efficient buildings that last for decades. And that is not all.

1. Long lifetime
Choosing aluminium is a choice for life. Aluminium profiles will remain beautiful for years and years. They are not affected by UV-rays or moisture, and when maintained properly they do not warp, corrode, or rot. Moreover, thanks to our innovative futureproof technology, Reynaers Aluminium systems are designed to serve people today and for future generations.
2. Thermal & acoustic insulation
Aluminium solutions offer excellent thermal insulation. An aluminium window insulates well against both the cold and the heat, some even reaching passive thermal levels. Combined with acoustical glass, aluminium guarantees optimal noise-reducing solutions too. A welcome added benefit in busy city areas, for instance.
3. Design that fits
Enjoy creative freedom with all kinds of variants and styles, thanks to Reynaers Aluminium. Choose from a wide range of design options, from sleek contemporary to rustic historical. Moreover, our aluminium profiles can be adjusted to fit your project's specific dimensions. There is always a solution that meets your needs.
4. Sustainability is key
There are many sustainable benefits linked to aluminium. For one, aluminium truly is a circular solution: it is fully recyclable and proven to last over 50 years. Still, Reynaers Aluminium takes on new initiatives to enhance the durability of our materials and optimise recycling processes even more.
Next, our highly insulated products contribute to energy-efficient and even zero-emission buildings all over the world. Solar gains, modularity and ease of disassembly, heat recovery, ... We consider every sustainable angle when designing our trusted façade solutions.
5. Numerous colours
Select your favourite colour and coating option. Aluminium profiles can be anodised or painted in more than 400 RAL colours and different finish types. A functional, renaissance, or minimalistic building? What about weatherproofing your profiles through anodization? There is an aluminium solution for every type of home.

6. Versatility
Versatility is aluminium’s second nature. Expansion and contraction by changes in temperature are kept to a minimum, making aluminium the preferred choice for bi-fold and patio doors, as well as any large-size windows. It is an ultra-light yet robust material that can realise complex structures effortlessly.
7. Safe and optimal protection
Aluminium is very strong, non-flammable, and integrates smoothly with technologies and systems that further enhance safety and protection. Most of our systems are burglar-resistant and offer excellent protection against extreme weather conditions; some variants even offer fire or smoke-proof solutions.
8. Easy maintenance
Aluminium windows and doors are very low-maintenance, requiring only a wash with soapy water a couple of times a year. Select from hundreds of hard-wearing, durable colour finishes and rest assured that the aluminium will never need repainting. With proper maintenance, aluminium joinery can last a lifetime.
9. Professional placement
The automated cutting of the profiles and the precise assembly of the finished product enable a smooth and flawless result. We trust on our worldwide fabricator and installer network to expertly deliver all our aluminium solutions for your specific project, exactly as you want it.
10. An investment that pays off
Aluminium improves the overall performance and value of both new buildings and renovation projects. It is an investment that pays off, if you consider the countless benefits linked to the material. Reynaers Aluminium guarantees that its systems meet the highest technical specifications with a ten-year system guarantee and a five-year guarantee on hardware accessories.
