Top five aluminium windows and doors manufacturers in the world

The global Building and Construction sector is on the cusp of a major evolution. A look at the changing skylines of the big and not-so-big cities of the world would reveal how the once heavy on aesthetics iron and steel reinforcement structures have silently given way to sleek aluminium. It’s almost a norm today to use aluminium facades (on the building exteriors) and aluminium window frames to lessen the use of wood, reduce heat effect, and facilitate smoother opening and closing of panes. There are other benefits also which make aluminium the preferred material for modern day architects, builders, and end users. Use of aluminium windows and doors with advanced coating is also becoming a practice these days although uPVC still stands as a major competitor in many areas.

The future of the global aluminium door window market looks promising. With new opportunities being created in the residential and commercial construction industry, the market is estimated to reach US$7.21 billion by 2021 growing at a CAGR of 5.1 per cent from 2016 through 2021.
