Aluminum window production time: how long does it take and what does it depend on?

Selection and order aluminum windows This is one of the key stages of building a home or implementing a commercial project. Clients often ask: “How long does it take to produce aluminum windows?” and “What does the order processing time depend on?”In this article, we answer these questions in detail, point out the best time to start the ordering process, and offer tips on how to avoid mistakes that can extend delivery times.

How long does production take? aluminum windows?

Average production time aluminum windows usually ranges from 4 to 8 weeksHowever, this is only an approximate value, as the actual date is influenced by many factors:

• Type of aluminum system – simple single-leaf windows are built faster than, for example, large HS sliding patio doors.
• The degree of complexity of the structure – the more unusual the design (arches, corners, frameless connections), the longer the production time takes.
• Colors and finishes – profiles in standard colors are available faster, while powder coating or anodizing in a non-standard color takes longer.
• Availability of glass and accessories – anti-burglary, soundproof or additionally coated glass may require a longer delivery time from the manufacturer.
• Production load – during the construction season (spring-summer) the waiting time may be longer than in winter.
