Aluminium Windows for the United States: Factory Supply for Code-Driven Projects
A United States project arrives with a code area attached, and that decides the glazing. In designated high-velocity hurricane zones the code requires impact-rated glazing, and inland work on large openings runs into thermal and structural limits instead. Adam Alux Systems has built aluminium windows and doors since 1997 at three production bases in China, and quotes United States work from the opening schedule outward.

What a United States window schedule holds
A United States window schedule usually carries more than a size. The code area sets the wind-load basis, and in designated high-velocity hurricane zones that means impact-rated glazing and a tested assembly. Cold-climate work turns on the thermal figure, which pulls the frame toward a thermal break and the glass toward a wider cavity. Large openings add a third limit: past a certain width a two-panel slider stops being the right answer and the schedule calls for three leaves on one track.
Adam Alux holds CE attestation to EN 14351-1, certificate no. M.2024.206.C101817, issued by UDEM. No United States test approval or local listing is held, so the glazing build-up and engineering are confirmed against your project at quotation.
Series that fit United States opening schedules
Wide balcony fronts and living-room openings go to the heavy sliding line. The 50 series heavy duty aluminium sliding door runs a 50 x 65 mm standard sash, with a 50 x 100 mm lift sash for taller modules, over a stainless-steel rail. The 35x48 medium narrow aluminium sliding door takes the same wide openings where the frame should read lighter, and carries eight catalogue finishes including wood grain.
Windows split by how they open. The 95 series aluminium sliding window covers wide horizontal light with 2-track or 3-track layouts on ball-bearing rollers and a 1.4 mm wall. The 118 series casement window takes the tall single lights on exposed facades with six chambers, a polyamide thermal break and a 2.0 mm wall. Sash weight and maximum panel width are quoted against the opening, and the dimensional pack for the exact layout ships with the quotation.
Climate, glazing and finish choice
Coastal work is where finish choice shows up first. Salt air attacks coating edges and cut ends, and fluorocarbon holds up better there than a thin anodised layer. Adam Alux runs fluorocarbon as a standard finish option, alongside anodised and thermal transfer, with RAL matching and two-tone exterior and interior faces on request. Northern and inland markets argue the other way, and there the thermal break does the work: a 118 casement with six chambers on a 5-27 A-5 insulating unit is the shape most cool-climate schedules point at.
Windows ship with 5-20 A-5 insulating glass as standard, with single or triple builds on request. Doors take automotive-grade tempered glass as standard, with clear, frosted, reeded, fluted and tinted options plus grille bars and decorative inlays in the same frame. The exact glazing is confirmed against your project at quotation.
What ships with an export order
Export supply is settled before the first container is booked. Every quotation carries a dimensional pack on PDF, with CAD drawings on request, so a shop drawing can be checked against the extrusion before steel goes in. A sample profile set and a finished test window or door are available on request. Containers load to export standard with private-label packing, which suits a distributor selling under its own name.
OEM and ODM work sits on the same route. Profile, finish and hardware are matched to the customer's drawing, and the packing carries the customer's label.
What to send to start
Four items move a United States enquiry to a quotation. Send the opening sizes with their heights, the unit count per size, the destination port, and the code area the project sits in. The code area changes the answer most, because it decides whether the glazing is an impact build or a thermal one. From there the factory quotes the series, the glazing build-up, the finish and the packing, and confirms the engineering against the project.
FAQ
Frequently asked
Do Adam Alux windows carry United States code approvals?
No United States test approval or local listing is held. Adam Alux holds CE attestation to EN 14351-1, certificate no. M.2024.206.C101817, issued by UDEM. Where a United States schedule names a local requirement, the glazing build-up and engineering are confirmed against your project at quotation.
Which series suits a hurricane-zone opening?
Impact glazing is a project requirement, so the series choice follows the opening and the pressure. For wide spans in designated high-velocity hurricane zones the 50 heavy-duty sliding door and the 35X48 medium-narrow slider carry the sash weight. Glazing build-up and engineering are confirmed against your project at quotation.
What glass comes as standard?
The window range ships with 5-20 A-5 insulating glass as standard, with single or triple builds on request. Sliding and casement doors take automotive-grade tempered glass as standard. Cavity width follows the thermal target the schedule sets, so the exact glazing is confirmed against your project at quotation.
Which finish holds up on coastal sites?
Fluorocarbon is the finish usually specified on coastal work, because salt air is hard on thin coatings and on cut ends. Adam Alux also runs anodised and thermal transfer, with RAL matching and two-tone exterior and interior faces on request. The finish is confirmed against physical swatches at quotation.
Can you supply under our own brand?
Yes. OEM and ODM supply includes private-label packing and export-standard containers, so units arrive under the customer's name. Profile, finish and hardware are matched to the drawing, and a sample profile set or one finished test door can be sent before the order is placed.
What does a quotation include?
Every quotation carries a dimensional pack on PDF, with CAD drawings on request. It covers the series, the glazing build-up, the finish and the packing, quoted against the opening sizes and unit counts you send. Sash weight, maximum panel widths and lead times are confirmed with the quotation.
