Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which aluminium system does Mparolas Aluminium Systems recommend for my project?
Mparolas Aluminium Systems evaluates each project individually and recommends hinged, sliding or minimal frame aluminium systems based on architectural design, opening sizes, exposure conditions and energy requirements.
2. What thermal performance (Uw) can your aluminium windows and doors achieve?
Our thermal-break aluminium systems are engineered for high energy efficiency and can achieve excellent Uw values depending on system configuration and glazing specifications.
3. What glazing options do you offer?
We offer double or triple glazing, low-e coated glass, laminated safety glass, acoustic glazing solutions, and enhanced security (anti-burglary) glazing options, tailored to project needs.
4. What are the maximum sash dimensions and weights?
Maximum dimensions and weights depend on the selected system, glazing thickness and hardware. Our technical team validates feasibility with structural and functional checks before production.
5. Are your systems tested or certified to European standards?
Yes. Our aluminium systems and assemblies can be supplied with performance classifications tested according to relevant European EN standards for air permeability, water tightness and wind resistance.
6. How is installation carried out to avoid thermal bridges and leaks?
Installation is performed by trained teams using professional sealing methods and suitable insulation materials to reduce thermal bridges and ensure long-term air and water tightness.
7. What colours and finishes are available?
We provide a full RAL colour range, anodised finishes, super durable powder coatings and selected special textures, depending on the project’s aesthetic and environmental requirements.
8. What is the typical production and delivery lead time?
Lead time depends on project scope and specifications. Typical production lead times are approximately 4–8 weeks, subject to final approvals and material availability.
9. What maintenance is required for aluminium windows and doors?
Aluminium systems require minimal maintenance: periodic cleaning with mild products, annual hardware inspection and adjustment, and lubrication of moving parts when needed.
10. Do you provide BIM, CAD drawings and technical details for architects?
Yes. We can provide BIM/CAD files, installation details and technical documentation to support architectural design, coordination and specification.
