Custom engineered window profiles designed for residential villas, commercial facades, and high-rise developments with certified wind load and thermal insulation properties.
In contemporary architectural design, small aluminium windows—ranging from specialized transom vents, compact bathroom casements, and narrow vertical sliders to slim residential utility openings—play a critical role in building physics. Beyond basic aesthetic framing, modern fenestration engineering demands optimal acoustic dampening, strict U-factor thermal performance, weatherproofing against high wind pressures, and structural durability. For commercial developers, importers, and architectural specifiers, selecting the right Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) factor determines long-term project viability and compliance with international building codes.
Meric Window Systems Co., Ltd. leads the industrial extrusion and customized assembly of architectural-grade aluminium profiles. Utilizing high-grade 6063-T5 aluminium alloy integrated with advanced polyamide (PA66 GF25) thermal break strips, our production facility bridges complex architectural blueprints with cost-effective, high-precision mass manufacturing.
As global energy regulations tighten (such as EU NZEB directives and US ENERGY STAR v7.0 specifications), procurement strategies for aluminium fenestration are shifting rapidly from standardized off-the-shelf buying to customized OEM/ODM technical partnerships. Structural engineers and supply chain directors must evaluate five macro trends currently shaping the market:
Demands for structural minimalism have pushed interlock and mullion sightlines down to 20mm–30mm without compromising structural moment of inertia ($I_x$). OEM factories must utilize high-tensile alloys and internal steel reinforcements to support heavy double/triple-glazed insulated units.
Non-thermal profiles are quickly being phased out globally. High-tier ODM manufacturing integrates multi-cavity polyamide insulating bars filled with aerogel or polyurethane foam, lowering profile U-factors ($U_f$) below $1.3 W/m^2K$.
Real estate developers require quick die-customization for project-specific profiles. Modern suppliers must offer rapid 3D prototyping, custom extrusion dies within 15 days, and modular hardware compatibility (such as Siegenia, Hoppe, or Cotech systems).

At Meric Window Systems Co., Ltd., our engineering framework is optimized specifically for international buyers who require verifiable performance documentation, strict dimension tolerances, and reliable container packaging.
We operate dedicated extrusion presses with precise anodizing, powder coating, and fluorocarbon (PVDF) surface treatments. Custom profile dies are designed, simulated via FEA analysis, and extruded in-house.
From raw aluminium billet spectrographic analysis to corner-crimping tension testing, EPDM rubber gasket seam verification, and air-water infiltration mock-up testing prior to crate loading.
All window units are protected with peelable protective film, wrapped in corner protectors, and sealed into reinforced steel-framed wooden crates labeled according to your architectural window schedule.
Essential technical and commercial answers for architects, general contractors, and procurement managers evaluating factory suppliers.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) involves manufacturing windows strictly according to your provided architectural shop drawings, profile dies, and hardware specifications. ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) means using our engineering team's existing patented profile systems, customized to your project's dimension schedule, color finish (RAL), and performance criteria.
It is a window or sliding door system where the visible aluminium frame at the interlock or mullion is reduced to a minimum, typically around 20–30 mm, maximising glass area and daylight while the structural load is carried by reinforced profiles and the glass unit.
Profiles are extruded from high-grade 6063-T5 or 6063-T6 structural aluminium alloy. For thermal breaks, we exclusively employ Polyamide PA66 reinforced with 25% glass fiber (PA66 GF25), which matches the coefficient of thermal expansion of aluminium, preventing frame warping under extreme heat or sub-zero temperatures.
Yes. Project-specific performance testing for air tightness (ASTM E283 / EN 12207), water tightness (ASTM E331 / EN 12208), and structural wind load resistance (ASTM E330 / EN 12210) can be arranged to the relevant EN, ASTM/AAMA, NFRC, or AS2047 standards required by destination markets. Test documentation is shared during the technical review stage.
For standard system configurations with stock powder coatings (RAL 9016 white, RAL 7016 anthracite gray, black anodized), lead time is typically 20–25 days from shop drawing approval. For custom profile die creation (ODM), add 12–15 days for die matrix fabrication and sample testing.
Please send your architectural drawings or a window schedule specifying opening sizes, opening mechanisms (casement, slider, awning, tilt-turn), glass specification (e.g., 6mm Low-E + 12Ar + 6mm Clear), powder coat finish type, project geographical location (for wind load calculation), and target acoustic/U-factor requirements.
Finished units are protected with protective surface films, plastic corner guards, and foam wraps, then fixed in custom reinforced fumigated wooden crates or heavy-duty steel A-frame racks suitable for forklift unloading. Each package is labeled matching your project site window schedule tagging.
