When designing a home that ticks all the functional boxes and truly reflects your personal style, customisation is key! Every design choice matters, especially when it comes to window and door systems. Windows and doors play a significant role in the final look and performance of your home.
As Auckland’s trusted aluminium joinery experts, we’re proud to offer premium Architectural Profiles Limited (APL) products. APL has always been future focused, leading the way in the New Zealand building industry. With its status as the market leader in aluminium windows and doors, APL joinery delivers quality and versatility like no other brand.
In this guide, we discuss how important customisation is, share options for finishes, colours, and configurations, and explain why you should choose Window Factory for your customised aluminum joinery.
The Importance of Customisation in Aluminium Joinery
When building a new home or renovating your existing one, generic aluminium joinery solutions are likely to create roadblocks when it comes to creating a final result that screams my house. Customised aluminium window and door systems are your ticket to meeting all your functional needs while still reflecting your personal style.
Whether you’re looking to maximise natural light, create an open, breezy feel, or simply align your design with eco-friendly principles like going carbon neutral, customisation allows you to innovate and generate game changing new design ideas that bring your space to life.
Ultimately, customisation in aluminium joinery can help you transform an ordinary space into something exceptional.
Customisation Options with APL Joinery
Finishes
APL offers a range of high-quality aluminium joinery finishes. These include matte, gloss, anodised, and powder-coated options. More than just making your home look the part, these finishes can provide essential protection against New Zealand weather conditions.
For instance, an anodised finish is a great option for coastal regions, offering superior resistance to corrosion. Powder-coated finishes deliver vibrant colours that stand the test of time. If you’re into a sleek and understated look, a matte finish might be the go. Otherwise, a gloss finish makes a statement with its polished shine.
Colours
No matter if you’re into timeless neutral tones or prefer something striking and bold, we have you covered with APL’s colour options. Our team is here to help you create a cohesive look by choosing colours that align with your home’s architectural style, interior decor, and exterior cladding.
For instance, if your home follows a contemporary design, black or dark brown aluminium door and window frames can accentuate it. If you’re leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic, softer neutral tones, like silver or beige, might be the way forward.
Configurations
APL’s premium materials allow us to customise the configuration of windows and doors to perfectly suit your home’s style and functional needs. Here’s a general overview of the configuration options we offer:
Doors
- Sliding Doors: This configuration offers a sleek, space-saving solution comprising large glass panels that glide smoothly along a track. Sliding doors provide easy transitions between your indoor and outdoor spaces and maximise natural light.
- Bifold Doors: Bifold doors fold neatly to one side, resulting in an expansive opening that offers superior airflow, clear views, and a sense of openness. They’re a perfect option for creating the ever-popular indoor-outdoor living flow.
- Hinged Doors: Timeless and versatile, hinged doors swing open on a hinge, either inward or outward. They’re available in single or double-door (French door) configurations and suit both modern and traditional New Zealand homes.
Windows
- Sliding Windows: A practical choice for areas with limited space, sliding windows comprise glass panels that slide horizontally along a track. Providing simple operation and excellent ventilation, they’re great for busy homeowners that love light and airflow.
- Awning and Casement Windows: Awning windows, particularly good in areas exposed to rain, open outward from the top. Casement windows, ideal for capturing breezes and offering unobstructed views, open outward from the side.
- Fixed Windows: These non-opening glass panels, often in large formats, are all about inviting abundant natural light in, showcasing views, and creating a clean, modern look. If ventilation isn’t high up on your list, fixed windows work incredibly well as skylights and feature windows.
