| 1 | Non-Thermal-Break Casement Profile | 6063 or 6060 | T5 or T6 | Single aluminium section; no insulating barrier | Mild climates, interior partitions, utility buildings | EN 755, EN 12020, ASTM B221 | Low initial cost and simple fabrication, but higher heat transfer |
| 2 | Thermal-Break Casement Profile | 6063 or 6060 | T5 or T6 | Polyamide thermal barrier separates inner and outer aluminium sections | Residential and commercial exterior windows | EN 14024, EN 755, EN 12020 | Thermal performance depends on barrier width, glazing, seals and frame design |
| 3 | Sliding Window Profile | 6063-T5 or 6060-T5 | T5 | Non-thermal-break or thermally improved system options | Apartments, offices and space-saving openings | EN 755, EN 12020, ASTM B221 | Track tolerances, roller compatibility, drainage and sash overlap |
| 4 | Lift-and-Slide Door Profile | 6063-T6 or 6060-T6 | T6 | Usually engineered with a thermal barrier | Large glazed openings and high-end residential projects | EN 755, EN 14024, EN 12207 | Structural capacity, sash weight, roller load and water drainage are critical |
| 5 | Tilt-and-Turn Window Profile | 6063-T5 or 6063-T6 | T5 or T6 | Commonly available with a thermal barrier | Ventilated residential and commercial buildings | EN 755, EN 12020, EN 12207 | Hardware cavity dimensions and gasket locations must match the selected fittings |
| 6 | Fixed Window Profile | 6063 or 6060 | T5 | Non-thermal-break and thermal-break designs | Curtain-wall infill, panoramic glazing and façades | EN 755, EN 12020, EN 13830 | Glass load, frame deflection and perimeter sealing require careful calculation |
| 7 | Awning and Top-Hung Profile | 6063-T5 | T5 | Thermal-break options available for exterior use | High-level ventilation windows and façade openings | EN 755, EN 12020, EN 12207 | Hinge strength, opening restrictors and controlled rainwater drainage |
| 8 | Narrow-Frame Window Profile | 6063-T5 or 6060-T5 | T5 | Thermal performance varies with section depth and barrier design | Minimalist architecture and daylight-focused façades | EN 755, EN 12020, EN 14024 | Reduced sightlines must be balanced against stiffness and glass size |
| 9 | Heavy-Duty Commercial Profile | 6063-T6 or 6061-T6 for specialized structural parts | T6 | Typically designed as a thermally improved system | High-rise buildings, schools, hospitals and offices | EN 755, EN 14024, ASTM B221 | Wind load, deflection limits, fire requirements and water tightness need verification |
| 10 | Coastal and High-Corrosion-Resistance Profile | 6063 or 6060 with suitable surface treatment | T5 or T6 | Thermal-break or non-thermal-break construction | Marine environments and humid coastal buildings | EN 755, EN 12206-1, AAMA 2603/2604/2605 | Specify coating class, pretreatment, drainage and isolation from dissimilar metals |
