FAQ

Aluminium offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for slimmer profiles and larger glazed surfaces without compromising structural integrity. Unlike PVC, aluminium does not warp, fade, or degrade under UV exposure. Compared to wood, it requires virtually no maintenance, is 100% recyclable, and can achieve far better thermal performance when paired with modern polyamide thermal break technology.

Yes. Aluminium is one of the most sustainable building materials available. It is infinitely recyclable — recycled aluminium requires only 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminium. Our systems use aluminium profiles manufactured with strict environmental standards, and the longevity of aluminium products (50+ years) further reduces their overall environmental footprint.

With proper installation and minimal maintenance, aluminium windows and doors easily last 40 to 60 years. The profiles themselves do not corrode, rot, or warp. Surface coatings (powder coating or anodising) are warrantied for 10 to 25 years depending on the finish and exposure conditions.

Our aluminium profiles can be powder-coated in any RAL colour — including dual-colour options with different interior and exterior finishes. Anodised finishes are also available for a premium metallic look. Special finishes such as woodgrain effect and metallic textures are possible on most profile systems.

A thermal break is a polyamide strip inserted between the inner and outer aluminium shells of a profile, dramatically reducing heat transfer through the frame. Without a thermal break, aluminium would conduct cold directly from outside to inside. Our standard systems achieve Uf values starting at 1.5 W/m²K, while our best passive-certified profiles reach 0.86 W/m²K.

Yes. Our STAR90 window and door system is passive house certified, achieving a UW value of 0.80 W/m²K. Combined with appropriate triple glazing, it satisfies the strict energy balance requirements of passive house construction and meets Minergie-P, PHI, and similar European energy standards.

Sound reduction is measured in decibels (dB) using the Rw rating. Our standard systems achieve 35–40 dB, while premium systems with specialised acoustic glazing can reach up to 48 dB. For reference, a 40 dB reduction means outdoor traffic noise is reduced to a near-silent whisper inside the building.

Our profiles support a wide range of glazing thicknesses — from standard 24 mm double glazing up to 72 mm in our largest sliding systems. This allows integration of triple glazing, acoustic laminated glass, solar control glass, and self-cleaning glass, depending on the profile system and application.

RC2 (Resistance Class 2) is a European standard (EN 1627) certifying that a window or door can withstand at least 3 minutes of attack by an experienced burglar using lever tools. Most of our systems are RC2 certified as standard, and several can be upgraded to RC3 for higher-security applications.

Our profile systems carry ATG (Belgian Technical Approval), KOMO (Dutch quality mark), and CE certification. Fire-resistant systems carry EI30 and EI60 ratings. Passive house profiles carry PHI certification. All certifications are available on request for specification purposes.

Yes. Our FR90 fire-resistant system achieves EI30 and EI60 classifications, meaning it contains flames, smoke, and heat for 30 or 60 minutes respectively. It is suitable for apartments, schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings where fire compartmentation is required by building regulations.

ALUNOVA manufactures all its products at our production facility in Velika Plana, Serbia. We use aluminium profiles from Aliplast (Belgium), one of Europe's leading profile system manufacturers. All cutting, welding, hardware fitting, and quality control takes place in-house under our direct supervision.

Every product goes through a multi-stage quality control process: dimensional verification after cutting, weld quality inspection, hardware function testing, and final visual inspection before packaging. We maintain traceability records for all profile batches and hardware components used in each order.

Yes. Our facility is equipped with CNC machinery and automated production lines capable of handling projects of any scale — from individual residential windows to large commercial curtain wall facades. We work closely with architects and project managers to meet technical specifications and delivery schedules.

Contact us via our contact form, email, or phone with your project details — dimensions, opening types, profile system preference, colour, and glazing specification. We will prepare a detailed technical and commercial offer, typically within 3–5 business days for standard projects.

Lead times depend on project complexity and current production capacity. Standard residential orders are typically completed in 4–6 weeks from order confirmation. Larger commercial projects are scheduled individually. We always confirm delivery timelines at the time of order.

Yes. We supply clients across France, Germany, and the broader European market. Delivery is arranged by our logistics team and the cost is included in the quotation. For large orders, we coordinate directly with freight carriers to ensure safe and timely delivery to your site.

Our primary activity is manufacturing and supply. For clients in Serbia, we can provide or recommend qualified installation partners. For international clients, we supply detailed installation guidelines and technical documentation with every order to support your local installation team.
