Aluminium Windows and Doors | Get a Free Quote

On a new build or a big renovation, it pays to order aluminium windows and doors together. They match in colour and profile, they are measured and made in one batch, and one company is responsible for the whole job. AluminiumDoor.co.za passes your request to an independent fabricator or installer in your area, who quotes you directly for your window and door schedule. We don't manufacture or install anything ourselves. Requesting a quote is free and there is no obligation.

Why order doors and windows together

Ordering everything from one fabricator means the frames, colour and glass match across the house, which is hard to achieve when buying piecemeal. It usually also lowers the aluminium door and window price per unit, because the site measure, production and installation are shared. For a new build, send the architect's window and door schedule so the quote matches the plans exactly. For renovations, list each opening by room with its width and height, and note any windows or doors you want to keep so the new frames can match them.

Common types of aluminium windows

Sliding windows: sashes that slide sideways, good for wide openings and walkways where an opening sash would be in the way
Top-hung windows: hinged at the top and opening outward, popular in South Africa because they can stay open in light rain
Side-hung (casement) windows: hinged at the side for full ventilation and easy cleaning
Fixed panes: large picture windows that don't open, often combined with opening sashes

Most homes use a mix: top-hung or casement windows in bedrooms and bathrooms, sliding windows in passages, and fixed panes beside doors to bring in more light.

Burglar bars and security

Most homes add burglar bars to opening windows and security gates to doors. Bars can be fitted inside or outside the frame, and some window ranges have integrated security options. Plan this with your fabricator, because bars that block an opening sash or fire escape route cause problems later. Laminated glass adds a further layer of protection. For sliding and stacking doors, a matching trellis or expandable security gate can be fitted on the inside so the view is kept during the day and the opening is locked at night.

Energy efficiency and SANS 10400-XA

New buildings must meet the energy rules in SANS 10400-XA, which limit how much heat is gained and lost through glazing. Large glass areas may need tinted, low-E or double-glazed units, or thermally better frames, depending on your climate zone and the orientation of the house. Your architect or energy assessor can calculate what is needed; share that specification with the fabricator when you request aluminium windows prices.

Comparing quotes for aluminium doors and windows

The lowest price is not always the best value. When your quote arrives, check:

Measure and system: whether the price is based on a site measure, and which aluminium profile range is specified for the size of the opening.
Glass and finish: safety glass type and thickness, and powder coating or anodising, with a marine-grade finish near the sea.
Installation: removal of old frames, fixing, levelling, sealing and making good, and who handles plaster and paint.
Guarantee and timing: what the guarantee covers, the lead time for manufacture and the date for fitting.

What to include in your request

Window and door schedule or plans, if available
Number, types and sizes of windows and doors
Colour and finish
Glazing and energy requirements
Whether burglar bars or security gates are needed

Frequently asked questions

Should my windows and doors be the same colour?

Usually, yes. Matching frames look intentional and are easier to maintain. Estates and complexes often require a specific colour, so check your guidelines before ordering.

Can I replace just the windows and keep my doors?

Yes. A fabricator can match the colour of your existing doors closely, although older frames may have faded slightly, so a perfect match isn't guaranteed.

Do aluminium windows need double glazing?

Not always. Whether you need it depends on SANS 10400-XA compliance for new builds, your climate and noise levels. Many homes meet the rules with tinted or low-E single glazing.

Who measures for the windows and doors?

The fabricator or installer does a site measure once the openings are built, even if they quoted from plans. This makes sure each frame fits the finished brickwork.
