Aluminium System Hardware Considerations
An aluminium window or door system brings together frames, glazing, seals and hardware, with components selected and arranged around the intended opening layout.
01
Identify the component roles
Frames, glazing, handles, rollers, hinges, seals and related parts each have a role within the layout. Their relationship should be understood in the context of the complete opening.
02
Coordinate interfaces
The surrounding construction, mounting position, threshold or sill conditions, access for adjustment and adjacent finishes should be considered before details are finalised.
03
Consider finishes in context
Frame and hardware finishes are typically reviewed alongside nearby metals, fixtures and care preferences so the opening reads as part of the wider space.
