See the project before it becomes a building.

Architectural decisions are easier when windows, façades and building proportions can be understood visually before fabrication and construction begin.

Digital design tools make it possible to explore aluminium systems within the architectural context, compare alternatives and communicate complex design choices more clearly between architects, developers, contractors and fabricators.

Reynaers Aluminium combines digital modelling, BIM information and immersive visualisation tools to help project teams move from concept to technically developed architectural solutions.

Design With Greater Clarity

Better decisions before fabrication begins.

Visualisation is not only about presentation. It can help the project team understand proportions, interfaces and architectural choices before they become expensive changes on site.

01

Understand Scale

Evaluate large openings, frame proportions and relationships between glazing and architecture.

02

Compare Alternatives

Explore different window configurations, colours, dimensions and architectural solutions.

03

Improve Communication

Give architects, clients and project teams a clearer common reference for design discussions.

04

Reduce Uncertainty

Resolve important architectural decisions earlier in the project development process.

AVALON Virtual Reality

AVALON is Reynaers Aluminium's immersive virtual-reality environment created to help project teams experience architectural concepts while they are still at the design stage.

Rather than evaluating a building only through plans and static renders, stakeholders can explore the virtual environment and better understand the relationship between spaces, openings and architectural elements.

01
Experience the Space

Move through a virtual representation of the future building.

02
Review Window Proportions

Better understand scale, openings and their relationship to interior spaces.

03
Explore Design Alternatives

Compare visual decisions during architectural discussions.

04
Collaborative Review

Architects, developers and technical specialists can discuss the same virtual project.

Immersive Architecture

From drawing to spatial experience.

Two-dimensional drawings remain essential for technical design, but they cannot always communicate how a large glazed opening or façade will feel within the finished space.

Immersive visualisation helps bridge that gap by allowing design teams to understand architectural scale and spatial relationships before construction.

This is particularly useful for minimal sliding systems, large glass openings, corner solutions and complex façade designs where proportion is fundamental to the architectural result.

3D Project Presentation

World of Reynaers

World of Reynaers provides a way to present Reynaers Aluminium solutions within predefined virtual building environments.

Instead of viewing a window or sliding system in isolation, the solution can be experienced within the context of a home or building, helping clients understand its visual impact more easily.

Building Context Place aluminium solutions within predefined architectural environments.
Window Configuration Explore how different opening types influence the appearance of the building.
Colours & Finishes Compare architectural finishes and their relationship with surrounding materials.
Client Presentation Communicate the intended result more clearly than with technical drawings alone.

Building Information Modelling

BIM models for architectural coordination.

Reynaers Aluminium provides BIM content for many of its systems, helping architects and project stakeholders integrate aluminium solutions into digital building models and access relevant product information during design.

01

System Geometry

Digital representations help position windows, doors and façade systems within the building model.

02

Product Information

BIM objects can include structured information relevant to the selected architectural system.

03

Design Coordination

Aluminium elements can be coordinated with structural, façade and architectural design before construction.

Project Development

From architectural concept to aluminium fabrication.

Digital tools are most useful when they form part of a structured technical workflow rather than being used only as presentation tools.

01

Architectural Drawings

Plans, elevations and opening schedules establish the project's design requirements.

02

System Selection

Suitable aluminium systems are evaluated according to dimensions, performance and architecture.

03

BIM & Visualisation

Digital modelling helps communicate and coordinate the proposed solution.

04

Technical Development

Details, interfaces, glass specifications and construction requirements are refined.

05

Fabrication

Approved project information is translated into precision-manufactured aluminium elements.

Design Development

Decisions that can be explored before production.

Early digital coordination allows architectural and technical decisions to be reviewed while changes are still easier to implement.

Opening Type Sliding, hinged, pivot, fixed glazing or combined façade configurations.
Dimensions Evaluate opening proportions and the relationship between glass area and aluminium sightlines.
Frame Design Compare conventional, slim and minimal architectural expressions.
Colours Coordinate aluminium finishes with stone, concrete, timber and façade materials.
Building Interfaces Review relationships with floors, walls, ceilings and façade construction.
Glazing Coordinate glass selection with dimensions, solar control, safety and thermal requirements.
Project Collaboration

One digital language for the entire project team.

Different stakeholders need different information, but all benefit from having a clearer understanding of the proposed aluminium solution.

Architects

Design Freedom

Explore system geometry, dimensions and architectural integration while preserving the intended design language.

Developers & Clients

Visual Clarity

Understand design decisions and final appearance before committing to fabrication.

Contractors & Fabricators

Technical Coordination

Improve communication between architectural intent, system requirements and construction interfaces.

Reynaers Digital Resources

Visualisation supported by technical information.

Digital design becomes more valuable when the visual model is connected with real technical information for the selected aluminium system.

BIM Models Digital system objects for architectural modelling and project coordination.
Architect Catalogues Technical information for system design, dimensions and architectural applications.
Building Connections Technical details that support integration of aluminium elements into the building envelope.
Performance Data Available thermal, acoustic, air, water and wind performance information depending on system.
Sustainability Data Environmental documentation such as EPDs is available for selected Reynaers systems.
Frequently Asked Questions

Digital design & aluminium projects.

What is AVALON?

AVALON is Reynaers Aluminium's virtual-reality environment for experiencing architectural projects during the design phase.

What is World of Reynaers?

It is a digital visualisation solution designed to present Reynaers Aluminium products within predefined virtual building environments.

Are BIM files available for Reynaers systems?

BIM content is available for many Reynaers Aluminium products. Availability varies by product, system variant and market.

Why use BIM for aluminium windows and façades?

BIM helps integrate aluminium elements into the wider architectural model and supports coordination between designers, consultants and construction teams.

Can visualisation replace technical engineering?

No. Visualisation supports design decisions, while final aluminium solutions must still be technically evaluated for dimensions, glass, loads, performance, interfaces and project-specific requirements.
