Aluminium in harmony: one material for windows, doors and façades


When building or renovating, homeowners increasingly focus on harmony and consistency. Not only do the layout and architectural style of a home matter, but material choices play an equally important role. Aluminium has become an increasingly popular option, and for good reason. Its versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from windows and doors to façade cladding. The result is a home that is visually cohesive, technically advanced and built to stand the test of time. 

Aluminium: beautiful with minimal effort

Aluminium is also a logical choice when it comes to durability and maintenance. Simple cleaning is all it takes to keep it looking its best for years. Aluminium windows and doors do not require painting or varnishing. Regular cleaning with water and a mild detergent is sufficient to maintain their appearance over time. To ensure optimal colour retention, it is recommended to treat your aluminium joinery once a year. Aliplast offers a range of mild maintenance products specifically designed for this purpose. Aluminium joinery also boasts an impressive lifespan of approximately 50 to 60 years. Moreover, Aliplast offers a colour range backed by a 25-year coating warranty, which is unique in the industry compared to the standard 10-year warranty commonly offered. That means true peace of mind for years to come.

Finally, security is another major advantage. Aluminium profiles are exceptionally strong and dimensionally stable, making them ideal for secure exterior joinery solutions. Combined with burglar-resistant hardware and safety glazing, they provide reliable protection for any home.

The cherry on top: an aluminium pergola

Aluminium also comes into its own outdoors, particularly in the form of pergolas. Aluminium pergolas provide a stylish extension of the home and create a comfortable transition between indoor and outdoor living. Thanks to their sleek design, they blend seamlessly with the architecture of the building, especially when finished in the same colour and style as the windows and doors. As with other aluminium applications, durability and ease of maintenance are key advantages.

The Somnium pergola by Aliplast is available in a wide range of colours and finishes, making it easy to tailor to the style of your home. The terrace cover can be installed as a freestanding structure in the garden or by the pool, or attached directly to the façade. This creates a stylish extension of your home or a contemporary pool house. Each pergola is custom-made to perfectly match your project and requirements.

A pergola designed to last for many years can also evolve with your needs. Aliplast offers a wide range of integrated solutions to enhance comfort and functionality. These include wind- and waterproof screens for added shelter and privacy, as well as the minimalist Glass Glide sliding system, which combines protection with maximum transparency. The roof itself also plays a key role: you can choose between glass panels or motorised aluminium louvres that tilt up to 120° and close completely watertight when required. Thanks to the many options available with the Somnium pergola, you can enjoy your outdoor space in comfort throughout the seasons.

Conclusion

In short, aluminium is much more than just a material for windows and doors. It is a complete solution that brings together architecture, design and performance. By consistently using aluminium throughout different elements of the home, you create a harmonious whole where aesthetics and functionality go hand in hand. Choosing aluminium means choosing a durable, stylish and future-proof home.
