Production line and factory setup overview
Fabricates thermally broken aluminium windows from purchased polyamide-strip profiles, compatible hardware and glazing through precision cutting, dedicated machining, frame/sash assembly, hardware fitting, glazing, thermal-break protection, squareness/operation checks and installation-ready packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Do not buy a thermal-break profile mill unless confirmed volume justifies it. For the practical entry workshop, source certified thermal-break profiles and fabricate them with compatible precision tools; confirm thermal performance, drainage, gaskets, hardware and glazing on installed samples.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Certified profile receipt and cut optimisation
- Precision cutting and thermal-break-safe machining
- Frame/sash assembly
- Hardware and gasket installation
- Glazing insulated units
- Drainage and protection checks
- Operation/squareness/finish inspection
- Protected packing and dispatch
Products, capacity and market fit
- Approve an installed sample and buyer acceptance criteria.
- Launch with a defined product family and documented tool settings.
- Keep material and quality records for every batch.
- Thermal-break aluminium windows - Thermal-break profile, polyamide strip integrity, glass unit, hardware, gasket compression, drainage, U-value target, squareness and installation detail - Higher-performance homes, offices, hotels, façades, contractors and premium window retailers
