Frequently Asked Questions

Foshan Aludex Doors & Windows Co., Ltd. is a verified, vertically integrated manufacturer with more than 25 years of specialized engineering experience in architectural openings and exterior entry systems. We operate an expansive 180,000 m² manufacturing campus located in Shishan Town, Foshan — the epicenter of China's aluminum extrusion and fabrication industry.

Our facility houses 600+ skilled machinists, structural fabricators, and R&D engineers. Operating without trading intermediaries, we offer direct B2B container pricing, total quality chain control from billet to crating, and complete OEM/ODM production adaptability for commercial general contractors, luxury residential developers, and overseas distributors.

We manufacture four core structural entry door families, alongside complete fenestration suites tailored to adverse climatic conditions and stringent building mandates:

• Aluminum Entry & Pivot Systems: Architectural pivot doors reaching heights over 6 meters, heavy-duty insulated leaves, and thermal break profiles with PVDF and Qualicoat powder coatings.
• Stainless Steel Entry Doors: Marine-grade 304 and 316 security doors engineered with reinforced inner sub-skeletons, anti-drill multi-point locking points, and decorative PVD titanium coatings.
• Cast Aluminum Doors & Villa Gates: Solid cast aluminum panels with three-dimensional relief patterns, providing monolithic strength, zero-rust longevity, and hand-finished bronze patinas.
• Architectural Glass Entry Doors: Minimalist slim-frame entrances with high-transparency Low-E double or triple-pane tempered safety glass for corporate headquarters and modern lobbies.
• Complementary Systems: High-performance interior timber doors, fire-rated utility doors, and smart motorized sectional overhead garage doors for consolidated project shipments.

Every commercial development requires tailored structural framing and localized hardware. To receive a precise engineering take-off and itemized quotation within 24 to 48 hours, please supply our technical team with:

• Architectural Schedules & Elevation Drawings: CAD (.dwg/.dxf) or PDF files specifying rough structural opening dimensions, leaf quantities, and swing/pivot orientations.
• Material and Surface Specifications: Desired alloy grades, core insulation requirements (polyurethane foam or honeycomb mineral wool), and RAL color or PVDF finish requirements.
• Glazing Performance Parameters: Glass thicknesses, safety lamination details, solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), and U-factor thresholds.
• Hardware & Access Controls: Mechanical multi-point security lock specifications, floor spring load ratings, smart biometric scanners, or building automation integration requirements.
• Project Logistics: Destination seaport for accurate CIF/FOB calculations and scheduling.

For standard architectural catalog dimensions and pre-tested profile series, our manufacturing cycle spans 25 to 35 business days after formal sign-off of our production shop drawings and deposit verification.

Bespoke commissions involving non-standard cast aluminum patterns, custom extrusion dies, or specialized oversized European pivot hardware generally require 35 to 45 business days. We coordinate phased delivery schedules for large mixed-use commercial developments, ensuring door units arrive synchronized with structural contractor framing schedules on site.

All export products from Foshan Aludex Doors & Windows Co., Ltd. carry a comprehensive 10-Year Structural Integrity Warranty covering profile extrusion stability, frame welding, and surface adhesion under normal environmental parameters.

Operating mechanisms, high-torque pivot bearings, automated drive motors, and multi-point mortise locksets are supported by 3 to 5-year hardware replacement warranties. Prior to crating, 100% of door units undergo strict multi-stage QC: laser alignment checks, pneumatic operational testing, and water-resistance seal inspections before being packed in fumigated timber crates with anti-scratch surface film protection.

We ensure straightforward installation from factory floor to job site. Our comprehensive engineering support infrastructure includes:

• Fully Documented Manuals: Exploded 3D assembly schematics, anchor spacing guides, perimeter waterproofing details, and shim placement maps.
• Digital Video Walkthroughs: Step-by-step videos detailing floor box recessing, pivot pin adjustments, leaf hanging, and magnetic perimeter weatherstrip alignment.
• Remote Engineering Consultations: Direct video support between your job site supervisors and our English-speaking technical team to resolve layout challenges.
• On-Site Engineering Deployment: For major commercial contracts or multi-unit hospitality towers, field technicians can be dispatched to oversee initial installation and training.

Yes. International compliance is built directly into our engineering workflows. Door assemblies manufactured by Foshan Aludex Doors & Windows Co., Ltd. are designed and independently tested to align with key global standards:

• Australian Standards: Tested to AS 2047 up to the maximum N6 cyclonic wind load rating, AS 1288 architectural glass safety, and AS 4284 facade performance criteria.
• European Conformity: CE marking compliance under EN 14351-1 for exterior pedestrian doorsets covering air permeability, water tightness, and structural wind resistance.
• North American Codes: Fenestration parameters engineered to meet AAMA / WDMA / CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 benchmarks and NFRC thermal performance standards.
• Fire Rating Certifications: UL-tested fire ratings available across selected commercial entrance doors, panic exit assemblies, and industrial access portals.
