For more than 50 years, Aluprof has been a trailblazer in aluminium building systems for the construction industry, both across Europe and even further afield. The company’s wide range of products are used across commercial and residential spaces and are inclusive of everything from garage doors and interior partitions to high-performance façade systems. Every item in this portfolio is crafted by Aluprof’s teams of world-class designers and engineers, experts driven to redefine the markers of quality and sustainability in this sector.

Aluprof: An Overview

Aluprof UK Ltd is a subsidiary of Aluprof SA, which is itself part of the Grupa Kęty Capital Group. Combined, the Aluprof brand possesses more than 70 years of experience, exports its products to more than 60 countries worldwide, and boasts more than €500m in sales revenue. Its international team is comprised of more than 2,700 employees, all of whom are united under its vision of leading the charge when it comes to producing aluminium systems of unrivalled quality – throughout Europe and even as far away as the US.

The company’s aim to build tomorrow’s cities today is something it has been working towards since getting its start in Poland early in the 20th century. In the decades since, Aluprof has only continued to grow, and it today lays claim to representative offices and distribution centres right across Europe. Germany, the UK, Hungary, Romania, and Denmark are just some of the places the brand is proud to call home, with Hungary even housing its 2,900m² state-of-the-art logistics centre and accompanying warehouse.

A Portfolio Unrivalled in Quality and Scope

With impressive spaces such as those mentioned above at its disposal – filled with dedicated, knowledge-driven teams – it is unsurprising that Aluprof’s portfolio has grown into one of the most impressive aluminium systems providers in Europe. Some of the standouts from this highly coveted range are its aluminium windows, doors, and curtain walls, with its systems benefiting from being able to be seamlessly transformed into numerous different styles, complete with exacting specifications and features like fire resistance.

Aluprof’s systems are all of the highest quality, and not only do they more than meet the strict requirements laid out in European and UK regulations, but they also reflect the modern architectural style sought out in contemporary buildings. For example, in the case of windows, its signature MB series offers a number of different opening methods – such as top, side, or bottom hung – making them perfect for adding a sense of modern splendour to any build, whether within a residential, commercial, or industrial environment.

Moreover, Aluprof’s systems are also incredibly well versed when it comes to upholding the energy-efficiency objectives of passive buildings, which is just one example of the relentless sustainable focus running throughout the company. To this end, it even offers a slim frame system known as the “Industrial” style, which is used to refurbish or renew historic buildings and bring them right up to modern environmental standards.

Façades: The Jewel in Aluprof’s Crown

Aluprof’s peerless distinction in this space is perhaps seen best through its façade systems, which are used to fabricate the glass facades of grand buildings such as banks, hotels, and office buildings, to name just a few. Beyond lining the front of these impressive structures, these façade systems are also used in multiple spatial structures and roof glazing, as they light interior spaces and create an atmosphere that is not only suitable for the space in question but which also offers maximum comfort for those using it.

These façade systems are exemplary tools for bringing the bold, contemporary visions of a designer to life, something that is especially true of its flagship mullion-transom systems. These include the MB-TT50 mullion and transform façade, the most state-of-the-art solution the company offers in this area. Aside from being the most innovative solution in this specific portfolio, the product also brings an innovative new approach to the table in the construction of profiles and accessories, particularly when assessing thermal insulation.

Additionally, Aluprof’s teams have also made some welcome tweaks to the installation process, resulting in a product offering one of the highest rates of performance across the global aluminium façade systems market. Just like with many of the other solutions comprising its diverse and dynamic portfolio, the MB-TT50 is also ideal for those looking to kit out their passive, energy-efficient buildings with a high-quality product.

The pioneering MB-TT50 is far from the only noteworthy façade system in this range, and another frontrunner is its mullion-transform curtain wall, the MB-SR50N. Boasting high levels of impact resistance, air tightness, and water tightness, this system has been carefully designed to excel when it comes to the construction of flat and lightweight suspended or filling curtain walls, as well as in roofs, skylights, and other structures.

One of the most distinguishing elements of this façade is its shape, which ensures strength and durability whilst also maximising aesthetic value as a result of the visible narrow division lines it achieves. This is just the beginning of the novel features of this solution, which also delivers such offerings as a continuous HPVC thermal barrier – reducing vapour condensation of the aluminium elements – as well as a sandwich-like structure of non-flammable materials to ensure the best possible protection from the elements.

Finally, Aluprof is proud to offer EXTRABOND, a ventilated wall with an external coat of wall cladding, on top of its industry-leading façade systems. Through this optional extra, customers are provided with an additional layer of excellent thermal insulation for their construction, one with a modern, aesthetically pleasing appearance. Beyond this, EXTRABOND is also highly resistant to adverse weather, UV and corrosion, with its internal properties making it capable of reducing noise and limiting heat loss.

See Aluprof in Action at its Showrooms

Many of the products mentioned above – as well as numerous others – are available right at a customer’s fingertips through Aluprof’s showrooms. The company’s flagship showroom can be found in the UK, located in Altrincham, Greater Manchester. This space has been meticulously designed so that architects, manufacturers, and end customers alike can have the opportunity to explore everything this remarkable brand has to offer, all in an environment that is as inviting as it is truly interactive.

Furthermore, Aluprof’s team of aluminium experts are on hand to discuss bespoke offers and the development of new products, supporting customers and industry professionals alike across every stage of their projects.

Aluprof then has another showroom in Poland, with this space being situated in the prestigious LIXA E office building on Kasprzka Street in the heart of Warsaw. Covering an impressive 340m², this store is home to many of the latest solutions pioneered by Aluprof, from panoramic sliding doors and lift-and-slide patio doors through to its modern sun-shading systems. Once again, the on-site team are there to offer holistic support, leveraging their unique knowledge to find the perfect-fit solution.

In the Wild: Projects with Aluprof Systems

Over the years, Aluprof’s high-calibre aluminium systems and expert knowledge have led to its solutions finding their way into builds of all shapes and sizes throughout the UK, Ireland, Europe, and the US. Just some of the highlights from across this impressive portfolio of projects include the National Robotarium at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, the Central Dock in Liverpool, the LIC Marriot in New York, the Hamburg Port Authority in the German city of the same name, as well as the Hard Rock Hotel in Budapest.

Additionally, outside of some of their more usual projects such as banks, hotels, and several older buildings, the team at Aluprof have had the opportunity to collaborate with architects across some more niche environments, such as Swansea Arena, as well as car showrooms for the likes of Ford, Audi, Volvo, Citroen, VW, Toyota, and Porsche throughout Europe. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what is an expansive portfolio and a physical testament to the quality inherent across Aluprof’s premier range of aluminium solutions.

The Sustainable Future of Aluprof

Equally as impressive as Aluprof’s reach is its ability to inject sustainability into every element of its production lifecycles. The company prioritises aluminium recycling across its systems, and many of the new products it is bringing out for the rest of this year and beyond possess up to 12 times lower CO₂ emissions than the industry benchmark. Its solutions were already produced using low-carbon billets before, so this switch to ultra-low carbon options demonstrates a real dedication and a huge leap forward.

Across these new items, Aluprof achieved an emission level of just 1.24 eCO₂ per tonne of aluminium produced, a figure nearly unheard of in this space. This impressive reduction in CO₂ emissions is achieved using aluminium that has a post-consumer recycled content rate of at least 85%. As for the rest of the company’s solutions, these are still produced using its tried-and-tested low-carbon model, which sees carefully sourced aluminium used to ensure the creation of its durable, high-quality construction products.

The strengths of these eco-friendly, low-carbon solutions are seen further through Aluprof manufacturing them according to the EN 15804 standard of quality. An independent industry expert has even verified this certification, granting it the highly coveted status of “European ECO-EPD verified”. Since this accreditation is also listed in the sustainable construction database of the ITB, these items have also been recognised by a number of the industry’s premier green building certification systems.

Aluprof’s introduction of these benchmark-setting, low-emission products sees the company seamlessly align with the global trends in both the construction industry and beyond. Currently, these same trends have seen the demand for aluminium rise sharply, with some projections anticipating an increase of approximately 40% in the material by 2030 (translating to more than 33 metric tonnes). The issue with this is that traditional aluminium production generates a lot of CO₂, making Aluprof’s low-carbon initiatives vital.

Conclusion: An Acclaimed Pioneer

As all of the above demonstrates, Aluprof has come a long way since its humble beginnings early in the 20th century. In the years since, the brand has grown into an empire, one that is leading in the realm of sustainable, quality-driven aluminium systems. Everything from its choice selection of windows and doors to its signature façade solutions reflect this mastery, which can also be seen through the array of awards the brand has won over the years, including being recognised by Forbes on two separate occasions.

Ultimately, Aluprof’s dedication to moving the needle when it comes to sustainable construction and aluminium systems set it apart in an industry where there is no shortage of competition.
