Creative with aluminum: windows, doors, curtain walls and cladding

Simplicity in fabrication and assembly as a key feature

Architects and facade builders are constantly looking for elements to create unique facades. After all, that facade is the calling card of any building on which you can give free rein to your creativity. AluK has a strong reputation in the building industry when it comes to aluminum window, door, sliding door, folding door, veranda and curtain wall systems and today, with Nesto, it is also adding a facade cladding based on vertical aluminum profiles. 

These block profiles allow to create architectural accents with clean lines on the facade. In addition, this innovative development excels for its simplicity in fabrication and assembly, its durable nature, its ease of maintenance and its circularity.

Decorative line pattern

For more than 70 years, AluK has been developing, manufacturing and supplying aluminum profiles, which meet the complex technical requirements, which are today in the building sector. The company, which has also been represented on the Belgian market since 2016, has built a strong reputation when it comes to aluminum window, door, sliding door and curtain wall systems for new construction and renovation in commercial and industrial projects, homes and public buildings. 

This family-owned company today has operational and commercial entities in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, serving some 50 countries worldwide. Thanks to continuous investment in R&D, they remain a pioneer with consistently powerful, sustainable solutions. Witness Nesto, a cladding based on vertical aluminum profiles.

"Our latest development makes it possible to create an architectural accent with clean lines on any facade. Nesto is available in two types of vertical block profiles with a depth of 20 mm and 35 mm, respectively. Both design variants can also be combined in one project, creating a decorative interplay of lines," explains one at AluK. 

"The extensive range of aluminum base and finishing profiles, allows for different design constructions, even a cladding, which continues in front of a window. Using L-profiles, corners can also be neatly finished."

Easy to process and ready for the circular economy

In addition to the creative freedom, the simple fabrication and assembly stands out in particular. The aluminum profiles can be cut to size, after which the finishing profiles can be easily and invisibly attached to the base profile thanks to a sophisticated click system. 

"With aluminum, you choose a material that guarantees a lifetime of unseen quality. Its durable nature ensures a solid facade construction that can withstand a wide variety of weather conditions. This facade cladding can also be easily disassembled and replaced, after which the aluminum profiles are completely recycled. This means they are suitable for the circular economy and have a positive impact on the ecological footprint," adds one at AluK. "Of course, proper maintenance remains crucial to keep the structure in optimal condition. It comes down to not giving dirt a chance to eat in. Aluminum, however, requires little maintenance. In addition, the powder coating with Qualicoat Seaside seal of approval provides a good protective layer and preserves the color, even in extreme conditions and aggressive environments, such as coastal areas, zones with heavy industry and urban areas."
