Aluminum
Frames that do not cook the room
Aluminum is the right metal for Egyptian façades — light, strong, and recyclable — but only when thermal breaks and finishes are chosen for this climate, not for a mild European catalogue.
System thinking
Thermal break is not a buzzword here
Without a polyamide break, aluminum conducts afternoon heat straight into the sash. We specify broken profiles on sun-loaded elevations and explain when a standard frame is still enough on shaded shafts.
Tracks are detailed with brush seals and drainage paths that shrug off fine dust. Sliding rollers are serviceable — because in Cairo, everything that moves needs a maintenance story.
Finishes & hardware
Colour that survives the sun
Powder coat
We favour architectural-grade powder coats in tones that hide dust between cleanings — soft greys, deep charcoal, and warm metallic that reads well against limestone and painted plaster common in Nasr City.
Gloss levels are chosen so west elevations do not glare into neighbouring flats.
Hardware
Multipoint locks, stainless fasteners, and handles with a firm throw. Insect screen channels are integrated where clients want night ventilation without inviting every moth on the block.
We keep spare rollers and seals for systems we install — so a service visit is not a scavenger hunt.
Opening types we fabricate
- Casement and tilt-turn for bedrooms that need secure night air
- Sliding and lift-slide for wide living and villa garden walls
- Fixed picture units paired with operable side lights
- Corner and bay assemblies where the architecture demands it
