Aluminium has quietly taken over Qatar’s window and door market. Here is why and where it falls short.
The Pros
- Corrosion resistance in coastal humidity
- Light weight, easy to handle
- Powder coating in any colour
- Thermal break options
- Slim sightlines maximise glass area
The Cons
- Conducts heat without thermal breaks
- Large openings need thicker profiles
- Generally more expensive than UPVC
When to Choose Aluminium
- Coastal villas where corrosion matters
- Modern projects with slim sightlines
- Sliding doors with large glass panels
- Curtain walls and storefronts
Specifying Right
Always confirm: profile system, glazing spec (single/double/low-e), thermal break, hardware brand. The wrong combination on a hot Qatar facade leads to condensation and premature failure.
