Where Efficiency meets Design

From the very beginning, as the vision for this house began to take shape, we knew we

wanted to make as many right choices as possible. We understood the effort it would

take to bring this project to life, but we also aimed to minimize future maintenance and

complications. When it came to choosing windows, the sustainable option for this climate

was clear—aluminium windows.

After thorough research, it became an easy decision to go with ALUMIL. With decades of

experience, production based in Greece, and a strong commitment to sustainability, they

aligned perfectly with our vision.

ALUMIL is a leader in sustainable aluminium production, utilizing eco-friendly practices such as recycling aluminium, reducing energy consumption, and adhering to strict environmental standards in their manufacturing process.

Their focus on reducing the carbon footprint of their products fits seamlessly with our goal of creating an energy-efficient, environmentally responsible home.

To fully explore the potential of aluminium windows in this project, we decided to use an

array of ALUMIL’s window series. This gives us the opportunity to test different assembly

operations and evaluate the overall user experience with various systems. By

experimenting with these options, we can better understand how different profiles

perform in the unique conditions of this wooden home.

What truly set ALUMIL apart was not just their sustainability credentials but also their

technical expertise. Combining aluminium and wood in construction is not an easy task,

especially in a climate as dry and warm as Greece.

The challenge lies in the differing expansion and contraction rates of the materials and ensuring that they maintain structural integrity and energy efficiency under the strain of harsh summers. ALUMIL’s technical department worked closely with us to address these issues.

Their advanced knowledge in developing systems that combine wood and aluminium has proven invaluable, ensuring that the windows integrate perfectly with the wooden structure of the house while maintaining insulation, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

In fact, the collaboration with ALUMIL has been crucial in solving many of the detailed

challenges of this project. They provided tailored solutions to balance the thermal needs

of the home, ensuring that the aluminium windows perform well even in extreme

temperatures.

Their attention to detail and support throughout the process have made a

significant impact, allowing us to move forward with confidence that we have chosen a

solution that supports both the environment and the longevity of our home.

Optimizing Our Home with ALUMIL Windows!
