Equipment
Weather Bar
The lower bar of the window frame that forms the transition from glazing to sash is usually exposed to the elements. Rainwater can collect here and damage the wood of your windows. A so-called weather bar or drip bar protects this exposed area of the frame. It is a sloped element attached to the bottom of the sash that ensures water does not collect or enter the rebate but drains away immediately. The classic weather bar has been replaced by the so-called rain protection rail, which can be attached to the frame and is also retrofittable on existing windows. This is usually combined with a sash cover profile with rubber seal for the glazing rebate.

Threshold
The threshold solution (e.g. GU Thermo 50 mm or Thermostep 68 mm) affects accessibility, tightness and thermal bridges. Various options are available depending on the model and installation situation.
Show detailsThreshold for entrance doors
The threshold at the bottom of the entrance door affects accessibility, tightness and thermal bridges. Various threshold solutions are available depending on the model and installation situation – from flat, low-threshold variants to higher thresholds with optimised sealing.

Pergola colours and equipment
The colour choice strongly affects the look of the pergola. Subtle grey and anthracite tones suit modern architecture, while lighter colours appear more open and friendly. Matching the facade, windows and patio surface is important.
Show details
Aluminium cladding
Aluminium cladding is an external aluminium shell attached to the window or door frame. It increases weather protection and extends the colour palette to almost all RAL colours. Ideal for modern facades – durable and low-maintenance.
Show details
Window mullions
Window mullions serve the optical design of a window and give it a classic or individual look. They divide the glass surface into smaller sections and are available in various designs and materials.
Show details
Frame reinforcement
Frame reinforcement is a steel profile inside the plastic window frame that provides additional stability and strength. Depending on requirements, you can choose between standard and premium reinforcement.

Opening type for entrance doors
The opening direction is defined from the inside: If the door opens to the left, it is "left"; if it opens to the right, it is "right". The hinge situation (hinges left or right) follows from this.
Show details
Hardware for entrance doors
The handle set (door handle and lever) determines the appearance and operation of the entrance door. Various designs – from classic to modern – and finishes (e.g. chrome, anthracite, black) are available.

Aluminium doors – Benefits and properties
Aluminium doors (also called alu doors) are entrance doors made from aluminium profiles. The material offers slim frames, high stability and almost unlimited colour variety through RAL colours and individual coating. Ideal for modern architecture and demanding facades.
Show details
Aluminium doors vs. plastic doors
Aluminium doors offer slimmer profiles and often look more modern. Plastic doors are generally somewhat bulkier but available in many colours and with aluminium cladding also in RAL colours. Both materials are suitable for timeless and individual design.

How to measure windows correctly
Incorrectly measured windows do not fit, are difficult to install or cause leaky joints. Before ordering in the configurator, clear dimensions and the installation situation must be correct – whether you measure yourself or your window fitter measures.

Planning a pergola correctly – dimensions, foundation and placement
For pergola planning, width, projection and desired clearance height are crucial. Before ordering, check how much space is available on the patio or garden area and whether doors, windows or roof overhangs must be considered.

MB-86N aluminium doors
The MB-86N is an Aluprof system with 86 mm profile depth. It combines thermal insulation (Uw 0.62 W/(m²K)), high tightness (air permeability class 4, driving rain resistance E 4800 Pa) and wind load resistance C5. Concealed hinges and wide colour choice make it a popular choice for entrance and side entrance doors.

Despiro doors
Despiro entrance and side entrance doors from Aluprof combine modern design with exceptional quality. Made from robust aluminium with 77 mm panel thickness, they impress with stability and thermal insulation. In the online configurator you choose between glazing or panel, adapt colours, handles and hardware and receive a transparent quote.

Roller shutters
Roller shutters
A roller shutter consists of rigidly connected slats (the shutter curtain) that run in side guide rails and can only be raised or lowered. It is mounted externally in front of the window and provides sun protection, privacy, glare protection and – depending on the type – thermal insulation.
Show details
Surface-mounted roller shutter
The surface-mounted roller shutter is mounted externally in front of the window. The box sits on the wall above the window, the guide rails run on the wall or in the reveal. The shutter curtain moves up and down in front of the window surface.
Show details
Integrated roller shutter
The integrated roller shutter is mounted directly above the window. The box sits on the window frame, so box, shutter and window form one unit. The access cover faces inwards.

Glazing
Glazing
Glazing is crucial for thermal insulation and energy efficiency. Double glazing offers solid insulation and is the standard solution for most applications. Triple glazing achieves even better Ug values and is particularly suitable for new builds and energy renovations.
Show details
Decorative glass and privacy glass
Decorative glass (patterned glass) is structured cast glass with embossed surface. It is translucent – not transparent – refracts light, obscures the view and still lets brightness through. Typical applications: bathroom, WC, front door, partition walls.
Show details
Thermal spacer
A thermal spacer (also called "warm edge") separates the glass panes at the edge of the glazing and replaces conventional aluminium spacers with thermally insulated materials such as stainless steel, plastic or composite materials.
Show details
Glazing for entrance doors
A vision panel in the entrance door brings daylight into the hallway and allows a view outside. The glazing can be executed as clear glass, frosted glass or decorative glass – depending on desired privacy and design.

Safety glazing
ESG is resistant to impact and shock. When broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
Show details
Sound insulation glazing
Sound insulation glazing reduces noise from outside and provides more peace in your rooms. The sound insulation class indicates how much noise the glass dampens (measured in dB).
