How We Work: Aluminum Systems from Drawings to Delivery

You send drawings, we quote, you approve, we produce, pack and ship your pergolas, glazing, windows and doors. Pergolas, glazing and other systems take 10–14 days of production, windows and doors 24–28 days, plus about one week of powder coating. Projects of 10 houses or more take about one month longer. Some systems are in stock and ship right away. After that, delivery within Europe takes up to 7 days, and a sea container to the USA or Canada takes 28–32 days.
