While so much of the focus for aluminium glazing systems is on the glass itself, it is important to always consider the impact of the frame.
The frame on any glazing system, including doors and windows, is an integral feature in how well the glazing will complement the property.
Maximise natural light
Styles have changed rapidly over past decades and slimline frames that maximise the flow of light are now extremely popular – and can be a strong selling point on a property.
Even while frames are pared back to open up the space to make the most of the natural light, the choice of frame should remain a primary consideration.
The frame serves a vital purpose in securing the aluminium glazing system and ensuring its insulation properties.
Yet, in considering the aesthetic appearance of a property as a whole, the look and finish of the frames is of equal importance.
Aluminium frames combine the slimline fitting needed to maintain clear sightlines with strength, durability and classic good looks.
As natural materials have become an on-trend choice from both a sustainability and design point of view, aluminium glazing systems have become a sought-after look.
While the reasons to choose the natural look are many, there are also easy options to personalise the finish on an aluminium glazing system or match it to a scheme.
RAL colour matching for aluminium glazing systems
RAL colour matching brings alive a range of possibilities for window frame finishes. While this system covers a wide range of colours, many customers choose aluminium glazing systems for the clean lines they offer – as well as a certain look.
Clean, sharp, uncluttered sightlines work particularly well with colours that present a natural frame that complements the appeal of a glazing system rather than present a distraction.
Sightline aluminium glazing systems focus on key looks that speak to a particular lifestyle design and emphasise the visual impact of bespoke systems that help to merge the interior with the exterior.
Sightline offers three RAL colour finishes:
- 7021 black grey matt finish
- 7016 anthracite grey matt finish
- 9005 matt black finish
All of these are powder coated finishes that offer marine protection.
For a finish that delivers a distinctive premium coating to an aluminium glazing system, Sightline also offers anodised brushed platinum. Appearing like stainless steel, this frame finish brings an added sharpness to slimline sliding door systems, helping to create a seamless look to complete a prestige installation.
Creating a bespoke look that complements a design scheme for an update to an existing house or a new building, is easily attainable with the options available for aluminium glazing systems.
A stylish finish that offers protection
More than just a classic appearance though, aluminium glazing systems and powder-coated and anodised finishes offer excellent weather protection and durability.
The upshot is that carefully designed exteriors, including sliding doors look just as they should for years to come – protecting property investments as well as the external aesthetics.
