This is how aluminium doors and windows are made
2021 / 08 / 05

„This is how aluminium doors and windows are made”

Wondering how an aluminium-framed window or door is manufactured? What happens in the machining centre? How are aluminium doors milled, reinforced, and machined in the production process? What is the size of glass surfaces that can be produced? And how to assemble a window? These questions are also answered in the show called The Craftsman (Mesterember) that presents the work of the aluminium door and window manufacturer. The recordings were made at the KAV Hungária Kisbér plant and at the site of one of our ongoing projects, the Svábhegy Reformed Church Kindergarten.

The manufacture and installation of aluminium doors and windows would not be possible without excellent professionals. The programme on the M5 television channel called The Craftsman, presents trades to help career choices, and gives an insight into the secrets of manufacturing aluminium doors and windows. At the KAV Kisbér plant, you can learn about the most important physical steps in the production of aluminium doors and windows, from the arrival and unloading of the shipment to storage, the profile cutting of aluminium casing and sash frames, machining processes, the assembly and case-elongation function of the aluminium window case, as well as the composite bonding of frameless sliding doors. The finished aluminium doors and windows will leave for the installation site after a minimum of 48 hours of “rest”. Of course, not all the details of the long shoot were included in the film, so KAV’s sales and customer support work, the technical preparation and survey methods of our engineers in Budapest, the production preparation and individual production organization by engineers in Kisbér were left out, as along with fitting hardware parts, rubber seals and door handles, and wrapping. Getting to know the details and atmosphere of the on-site door and window installation was also postponed to another occasion; there was only the opportunity for a quick look around the building. The program presents the already installed windows in one of KAV’s ongoing projects, the Svábhegy Reformed Church Kindergarten. Here, KAV’s specialists implemented, among other things, special, asymmetrically segmented (both in plan and view) interlocking curtain walls, which contain more than 700 custom angular breaks. The glass for this aluminium curtain wall system was not manufactured in Hungary but abroad, since the glass panels forming the average 5 metre-high glass panes of this curtain wall did not fit into any Hungarian curing oven.

The goal of KAV Hungária is to create trends: our specialists work on the production of special aluminium doors and windows which prove that, with the right expertise, there is a solution for every idea.

Frameless windows are favourite elements in houses built in modern and minimalistic styles, since, thanks to the nearly invisible frames, the external and internal spaces almost connect; in this way, nothing disturbs the view, and also natural light may flow into residential spaces through a greater surface.

For a smart home, product selection is key
For a newly built property, in terms of windows and doors, one of the most important questions is whether prospective residents would like a building management system in the house, as all solutions need to be tailored to this in the design phase. For today's systems, system-specific connector units and auxiliary modules must already be planned and positioned so that they can remain completely hidden.

Why is it worth choosing an aluminium front door?
Why is it worth choosing an aluminium front door?
When building or renovating a house, developers and architects may be wondering when it is worth deciding on an aluminium front door. In addition to durability, the main argument may be that aluminium can deliver dimensions and solutions that neither wood nor plastics allow.

Those about whom who nobody ever talks, or the eminences of manufacturing preparation
KAV's customers come into contact with several of our colleagues in the bidding, preparation and construction processes in the course of a job. These are our sales and estimation colleagues, our technical and manufacturing preparation engineers, our project engineers, and then our installation specialists. It is very rare that the end-user comes into contact with the manufacturing preparation engineers. In this article, we’d like to describe the work of these professionals in connection with the Continental Golf Club construction project.

Ethical operations raise even SMEs to the top
Following the large enterprise sector, operating ethically is becoming increasingly important for small and medium-sized enterprises, too. These companies not only take into account the interests of their clients and suppliers but also those of their environment and employees. They set an example by their activity and attitude and strengthen trust. This attitude may constitute a basis for long-term operation and economic stability, and what is more, employees of the Y and Z generations are more eager to opt for an ethically operating workplace.

Clear shapes, large glass surfaces, spacious interior spaces and creative use of materials – these are the main features of the most predominant architectural style of our era, minimalistic design, in which interest is outstanding in Hungary. However, the number of really well designed and built minimalistic family homes is relatively low. The property our engineers consider as one of the best designed ones our company has met in recent years was built in Budapest. During the project we paid increased attention to the design of large, liberally designed glass surfaces, essential for creating open spaces. We had a conversation with the developer of the house about what was needed to create this property.

The KAV approach helped a lot in its implementation. They talk to the customer and they don't want to sell a product, they want to answer questions and look for a solution. I did not have to choose from a catalogue, so I was not forced to choose from a set of solutions, but was offered individual solutions to a given problem. Of the companies I worked with, KAV gave me the most technical support.
