A suitable system depends on more than appearance. Consider the building design, opening dimensions, intended use, glazing, hardware and budget together when reviewing your options.
Start with the Building Design
Begin with the spaces you are creating and the role each opening needs to play. A living room opening onto a terrace has different practical considerations from an internal office partition. Share the architectural drawings, if available, and identify the areas where you need advice.
Consider How the Opening Will Be Used
Think about access, the direction of movement and the space available around the opening. Tell the project team whether you are considering sliding, hinged or folding arrangements, or whether you would like help reviewing the options. Approximate opening dimensions are a useful starting point; final dimensions must be checked for the project.
Review the Complete Specification
An aluminium profile is one part of the proposed assembly. Glazing, hardware, seals, connections and installation details should be reviewed together. Ask what is included in the proposed specification and which details still need to be confirmed. Avoid comparing systems by appearance or brand name alone.
Balance Requirements and Budget
Explain your priorities and the scope you would like included in the quotation. A clear discussion of dimensions, materials and installation responsibilities makes it easier to compare proposals and understand the choices being made.
If you have not chosen a system, you can still contact SH aluminum. Share your drawings or describe the space, and we can discuss the information needed for the next step.
