GETTING A HANDLE ON IT

AluK is part of a global business, with a presence in several countries across Europe, as well as in the USA and South America, China, India, and the Middle East.

The core values of AluK – innovation, collaboration, and support – are universal across all our regions. However, the products we manufacture and supply are tailored to suit the needs of different markets.

In the UK, for instance, windows and doors come with thermal breaks as standard to meet stringent rules on thermal performance. Notable products include the Optio 58BW Casement HI window system, which offers strong, secure, and superior performance, and the Optio BSC94 sliding door system, widely used for its reliability and versatility.

In India, the climate necessitates windows and doors without thermal breaks, focusing instead on water tightness to withstand monsoon rains.

When it comes to aesthetics, all our systems are designed to suit local architecture and property styles, considering regional tastes and fashions. This applies to everything from opening configurations to colour choices and hardware options.

Handle and hardware options are arguably the most noticeable differentiator. The look and feel of window and door handles vary significantly between regions. In the UK, functionality and ergonomics have the biggest impact on design, often incorporating strong heritage accents.

We offer a wide range of hardware designs and colours, all rigorously tested for functionality and durability.

We are a global business with a local presence. We understand what our markets need and deliver on what our customers want, with quality, reliability, and service at the heart of everything we do.
