Explore our export-grade aluminium side window systems built for residential, commercial, and specialized marine applications.
A technical synthesis of material science, structural loads, and manufacturing compliance for international project managers and architectural importers.
"In modern architectural fenestration, the specification of aluminium side windows has evolved from simple light-transmitting openings to sophisticated, multi-functional thermal barriers. Achieving code compliance across North America, Europe, and Australia requires precision OEM engineering, verified alloy tempers, and certified thermal-break technology."
Utilizing high-tensile 6063-T5/T6 architectural aluminium alloys. Profiles undergo precision aging to reach web hardness levels above 12 Webster, ensuring structural resistance under peak wind pressure loads.
Integrated PA66-GF25 (25% fiberglass reinforced polyamide) thermal break strips physically isolate exterior and interior metal frames, dramatically dropping heat transfer and preventing interior condensation.
Multi-cavity continuous EPDM rubber gaskets combined with corner crimping and injected dual-component structural adhesive guarantee air permeability (Class 4) and water tightness (Class 9A).

Operating from Foshan—China's premier aluminium manufacturing hub—since 1993, delivering factory-direct engineering and robust export solutions.
We work directly from architectural drawings, eliminating catalog rigidities. Importers can specify profile profiles, custom corner joinery, two-tone color anodizing/powder coating (e.g., exterior dark grey RAL 7016 with interior natural woodgrain finish), and localized lock-set preparations.
Our engineering team generates CAD shop drawings and 3D structural BIM models prior to extrusion cutting, preventing costly site misfits and ensuring rapid local code sign-offs.
In response to strict global energy efficiency building mandates (such as Europe's nZEB and North America's ENERGY STAR®), our window units incorporate double and triple Low-E insulated glass units (IGUs) filled with 90%+ Argon gas.
Warm-edge composite spacers replace conventional aluminium spacers, eliminating cold bridges around the perimeter of the glass pane and mitigating internal moisture buildup in humid environments.
Cross-border long-haul ocean shipping presents significant risk of surface scratching and glass shock damage. Window Wurx utilizes a rigorous 5-layer packaging protocol: Protective PE film wrap -> EPE foam corner guards -> Corrugated cardboard wrap -> Waterproof shrink wrap -> Fumigation-free solid plywood crates.
Containers are packed with internal steel bracing and air bags to withstand high sea state vibrations, arriving at destination sites ready for immediate uncrating and installation.
Market foresight for procurement directors, commercial contractors, and fenestration distributors.
Global developers increasingly demand Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). Procurement is shifting toward primary aluminium smelted via renewable hydro-power and post-consumer recycled profiles to achieve LEED and BREEAM carbon points.
On-site labor costs in Western markets continue to escalate. Future window procurement heavily leans toward factory-assembled unitized side windows complete with pre-installed sub-frames, integrated blinds, and pre-wired smart actuators.
Integration of motorization and dynamic electrochromic glass (smart tinting) directly linked to Building Management Systems (BMS). OEM suppliers are required to embed conduit channels within frame extrusions for clean electrical routing.
The cutting-edge innovations redefining mechanical durability and aesthetic minimalism in side-hung systems.
Modern architectural design prioritizes maximum glass ratios and unobstructed light pathways. Technological innovations focus on micro-bead extrusions and hidden sash structures where the outer frame completely conceals the operating sash, achieving visible frame widths under 35mm without compromising wind pressure performance.
Surface-mounted hinges are being replaced by heavy-duty 3D adjustable concealed hinges capable of supporting sash weights up to 180kg. Multi-point mushroom-head locking cams distributed along the side frame provide European RC2/RC3 burglar protection while establishing uniform perimeter gasket compression.
Traditional side window leakage occurs when exterior wind pressure forces water into internal frame tracks. Advanced ODM designs implement rain-screen pressure equalization chambers, utilizing outer gasket seals to restrict wind entry while gravity-fed unvalved weep holes rapidly discharge rainwater away from the frame structure.
To resist harsh UV exposure and coastal salt spray corrosion, factories are deploying fluoropolymer PVDF coatings and super-durable Qualicoat Class 3 powder coatings. These treatments pass 3,000+ hour salt spray testing (ASTM B117), protecting color retention and structural integrity for over 25 years.
Our 20,000 m² Foshan facility houses dedicated sample showrooms, automated aluminum cutting equipment, and comprehensive quality control laboratories.
Expert answers addressing compliance, engineering specifications, minimum order quantities, and international logistics.
Our aluminium window systems are engineered and tested to comply with international fenestration standards. For the European Union, our systems hold CE marking under EN 14351-1. For Australia and New Zealand, our profiles are tested strictly in accordance with AS2047 (Windows and External Glazed Doors in Buildings) and AS1288 glass compliance. Additionally, we provide NFRC thermal performance ratings and AAMA physical performance test reports upon project request.
Yes. As an OEM/ODM specialist, we feature an in-house tooling center that produces custom aluminium extrusion dies according to your specific wall thickness, mullion connection, or sightline requirements. Die fabrication typically takes 10–14 days. Once initial sample extrusions pass web hardness, dimensional tolerance, and structural stress tests, volume extrusion production is initiated immediately.
Depending on the profile width and glass build-up, our thermal break side windows achieve overall system U-factors ($U_w$) ranging from 1.0 W/m²·K up to 1.8 W/m²·K. Utilizing 34mm multi-cavity PA66-GF25 polyamide thermal strips combined with triple-pane Low-E argon-insulated glass and warm-edge spacers allows our systems to easily satisfy passive house thermal standards.
For coastal building projects or marine vessel applications (such as ship side windows), we employ specialized material specifications. Profile extrusions can be specified in marine-grade 5083 or 6082 alloys. For surface treatment, we utilize anodizing up to 25 microns ($\mu$m) thickness or apply AkzoNobel/PPG PVDF fluoropolymer paint that easily exceeds 3,000-hour ASTM B117 salt spray testing.
Standard lead time for customized container orders is 25 to 35 business days following shop drawing sign-off and deposit receipt. Our 20,000 m² facility with 3 automated CNC fabrication lines enables an annual output capacity of over 300,000 square meters, ensuring reliable timeline control even during peak construction seasons.
We partner with top-tier international and domestic hardware suppliers, including German Siegenia, HOPPE, ROTO, and GU, alongside premium proprietary Window Wurx stainless steel hardware. Systems can be configured with concealed hinges, multi-point lock bodies, child-safety restrictor stays, or integrated insect screens (stainless steel security mesh or fiberglass roll-up mesh).
Every single unit undergoes a 5-layer protective wrapping sequence (protective film, foam edge guards, corrugated wrap, shrink film). Units are packed into heavy-duty, fumigation-free plywood crates with internal rubber shock damping. We also load containers with specialized air cushions and structural floor anchors, eliminating freight movement across long ocean routes.
