Factory-direct thermally broken aluminum extrusions engineered to meet European EN and CSTB standards.
An authoritative guide to thermal breaking, structural load resistance, and regulatory compliance under France’s RE2020 environmental standards.
We manufacture profiles exclusively from 6063-T5 architectural grade aluminum alloy. Tempered to artificial aging standards, this alloy offers a tensile strength exceeding 185 MPa and yield strength over 110 MPa. For French architectural specifications requiring expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls, our reinforced mullions deliver wind load resistance rated up to Class C5/B5 under European standard EN 12210.
France’s Réglementation Environnementale 2020 (RE2020) places stringent limits on summertime overheating and winter thermal loss. Our custom sliding windows incorporate continuous EPDM triple-gasket seals and argon-filled double or triple-glazed Low-E units. Combined with precision CNC mitred corner keys, our assemblies achieve Class 4 Air Permeability (EN 12207) and Class E900 Watertightness (EN 12208).

Custom engineering engineered for diverse microclimates, urban heritage districts, and modern coastal developments.
In dense metropolitan centers like Paris, Lyon, and Bordeaux, strict architectural preservation guidelines restrict drastic external altering while demanding modern acoustic attenuation (up to 42 dB STC rating). Our ultra-slim profile sliding windows match existing narrow sightlines while providing high-performance noise insulation against heavy urban street traffic.
Coastal environments in Nice, Cannes, and Marseille face extreme salt fog oxidation and solar heat gain. We supply customized Qualimarine-certified marine-grade anodized aluminum frame systems equipped with high solar control glazing (SHGC ≤ 0.25). Our minimal lift-and-slide doors feature flush floor tracks for seamless indoor-outdoor terrace transitions.
For high-altitude developments in Chamonix, Courchevel, and Grenoble, heavy snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles present severe structural challenges. Our heavy-duty aluminum sliding windows utilize triple-pane 34mm polyamide thermal breaks, withstand design pressures up to 3000 Pa, and eliminate interior frost accumulation under severe negative temperatures.
How our OEM/ODM manufacturing capability aligns with France's evolving energy policies and aesthetic preferences.
Under the RE2020 regulation, building materials are evaluated based on their lifecycle carbon footprint. As a forward-thinking manufacturer, we offer low-carbon recycled aluminum extrusion options manufactured using renewable hydropower energy. Our complete environmental data supports French developers in generating required FDES (Fiches de Déclaration Environnementale et Sanitaire) documentation.
Modern French residential architecture prioritizes maximum daylighting ($Scw \ge 0.55$). Our ODM design team has engineered ultra-slim interlock profiles with visible frame widths as narrow as 20mm. By embedding outer frames directly into perimeter walls and floor structures, architects achieve uninterrupted panoramic views without sacrificing thermal or air-tightness ratings.
Eliminating distributor markups while delivering custom engineering, rapid tooling turnaround, and reliable European logistics support.
We operate proprietary aluminum extrusion lines capable of custom matrix profiling, allowing rapid production of specialized French sub-frames, sill flashing, and masonry anchors.
Every lot undergoes spectrographic alloy verification, mechanical tensile testing, thermal camera inspection, and pressurized water chamber seal validation prior to crating.
Standard OEM aluminum profile extrusions ship within 2-4 weeks, while fully glazed custom sliding window assemblies ship in 4-6 weeks directly to French ports.
By working directly with our engineering team, French developers and distributors cut out intermediate broker commissions, saving 25%-40% on project procurement costs.
Essential clarity on regulatory compliance, custom manufacturing workflows, shipping logistics, and warranties.
