The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Aluminium Joinery for New Zealand Homes
Aluminium joinery is the go-to choice for New Zealand homes. It is strong, low maintenance and built to handle our unique climate. Aluminium windows and doors provide style, performance and durability.
Aluminium Window Options
NZWindows offers a range of window styles to suit different homes:
Awning and casement windows are a versatile, classic choice that can partly open in the rain, fit any size, work with other window types, and offer passive ventilation options.
Sliding windows let in plenty of light and airflow, making them ideal for large openings, maximising views with big glass panels, and available in bi-parting or stacking layouts with panels that slide inside or outside.
Sleek yet practical, bi-fold windows open for uninterrupted views and great ventilation, with panels that glide and stack, and an optional layback feature to fold back against the wall.
Door Options
Our door range offers a variety of styles, materials, and finishes to complement any home.
Your front entrance creates a lasting first impression. Our doors combine security and style, with dual colour options to suit both interior and exterior finishes.
High-performing sliding doors maximise views with large glass panels and narrow frames, with options for custom sizes, flush sills, and panels that slide into a wall cavity or over the exterior.
Bi-fold doors are perfect for indoor-outdoor living. Panels glide and stack for large spans, and on some configurations a layback option is available.
Hinged and French doors feature a modern finish with open-in or open-out frame configurations, single panels are great for utility rooms.
