Curtain Wall, Doors & Windows Solutions For Europe
Our façade packages for Europe are built around high-performance aluminium curtain wall systems, with matching windows and doors engineered as one integrated envelope. From North Sea storms and Nordic snow to Mediterranean sun and dense city centres, we design for European climate zones and for strict EU energy, acoustic and safety regulations. Working with developers, architects and façade contractors, we tailor profiles, insulated glass units and thermal break solutions so your projects achieve the required U-values, airtightness and comfort levels—while keeping a clean, contemporary architectural expression.
Apro’s Quality Assurance for European Curtain Wall, Window & Door Projects
For commercial and residential buildings across Europe, investors and consultants must prove that every curtain wall, window and door meets strict EU and national regulations. Our European façade systems are developed and tested for air and water tightness, wind load resistance, thermal performance, acoustics and safety, so your envelope design can satisfy EN standards, CE-marking rules and local building codes.
We work with accredited European laboratories to test representative configurations of our curtain wall, window and door systems in line with EN 13830, EN 14351-1 and related façade standards. For each project we can supply performance declarations, U-value and acoustic data, structural calculation notes and clearly defined warranty terms. This gives developers, designers and contractors a robust technical basis when defending façade choices to authorities, certifiers and sustainability auditors throughout the life of the building.
Pre-Design Engineering & Compliance Support
We help European developers and contractors refine curtain wall, window and door designs before tender. Our team checks codes, optimises glass and profiles, and supplies clear input for your specifications.
Post-Handover Service & Façade Care
We help European owners and facility teams manage the façade after handover. Our team provides maintenance plans, spare-parts lists and guidance, keeping curtain walls, windows and doors safe and efficient.
Challenges and solutions we encountered in our project in Europe
Energy Codes & Solar Control On European Curtain Walls, Doors & Windows
Pain in Europe:
Across Europe, highly glazed buildings must meet strict energy-code U-values and avoid summer overheating. If curtain walls, entrance doors and operable windows are specified independently, glass types, thermal breaks and gaskets do not align. The result is façades that miss nZEB targets, create hot zones near the glass and lead to arguments between developers, consultants and tenants.
Our solution:
We design integrated curtain wall, door and window systems for Europe, selecting compatible profiles and insulated glass units across the whole envelope. Using orientation and climate data, we tune solar-control glass, thermal breaks and shading so the complete façade package—curtain walls, lobby doors and room windows—meets local energy requirements while keeping interiors bright and comfortable.
Driving Rain & Air Leakage Around European Façade Openings
Pain in Europe:
In Atlantic and North Sea climates, wind-driven rain quickly finds weaknesses around curtain wall panels, terrace doors and punched windows. When each supplier proposes its own perimeter detail, slab edges, jambs and sills are treated differently on site. Air leakage, water staining and mould around openings then trigger warranty claims and disputes between main contractors and façade trades.
Our solution:
For European projects we create a common interface toolkit for our curtain wall, door and window frames. Standardised sill trays, head flashings, membranes and sealant lines are defined for typical concrete and masonry build-ups, tested for air- and water-tightness. Clear 2D/3D node details and inspection checklists help contractors deliver consistent, watertight joints for every façade opening—curtain wall units, balcony doors and windows alike.
Fire-Safe, Code-Compliant Entrances in European Curtain Wall Screens
Pain in Europe:
Many office, hotel and retail projects in Europe use large glazed entrance screens combining curtain wall mullions, full-height doors and side-lights. When fire-rating is required, mixing profiles, glazing and hardware from different suppliers often leads to problems: assemblies that do not achieve the intended E / EI classifications, unclear responsibilities for testing, and entrances that fail to meet both fire-escape and accessibility rules. This creates compliance risk for developers and repeated coordination issues for façade contractors.
Our solution:
We supply complete fire-rated entrance assemblies for Europe—curtain wall entrance screens with tested door leaves, framing, side-lights and hardware engineered as one certified system. Profiles, fire-resistant glazing, intumescent seals and door hardware are all designed and classified together to meet relevant EN fire-test standards as well as accessibility and durability requirements. This gives designers and contractors a single, coordinated solution for lobby and escape-route façades, instead of a patchwork of unrelated fire-rated components.
Traffic Noise Control For European Curtain Walls, Doors & Windows
Pain in Europe:
Dense European city centres expose façades to constant road, rail and tram noise. If curtain wall glass, balcony doors and operable windows are ordered with different acoustic ratings, some rooms remain noisy even when closed. Tenants complain about sleep quality, hotels receive poor reviews and contracts are strained.
Our solution:
We design acoustic façade packages for Europe where curtain wall IGUs, terrace doors and room windows share coordinated Rw and Ctr values. Multi-chamber frames, upgraded gaskets and laminated acoustic glass are combined with careful perimeter detailing to reduce flanking transmission. For developers and contractors this means a full envelope—curtain walls, doors and windows—that delivers measurable noise reduction and more comfortable apartments, offices and hotel rooms.
Structural Movement & Thermal Bridging In European Façade Systems
Pain in Europe:
High-rise and mixed-use buildings in Europe experience creep, sway and differential movement between structural elements. Curtain walls, French doors and window inserts at slab edges all feel these movements. If brackets, door frames and window anchors are not detailed together, joints open, finishes crack and thermal bridges around openings increase condensation risk.
Our solution:
We engineer movement-tolerant European curtain wall, door and window systems with coordinated brackets, slots and packers. Using structural-engineer movement data and ψ-value targets, we define joint gaps and thermally broken fixings so façade panels, balcony doors and windows can move with the structure while maintaining airtightness and low thermal-bridge values at every opening.

Aluminum Doors and Windows Solutions in the Asia - FAQ
Can you help us choose the right curtain wall, doors and windows for different European countries?
Yes. At concept stage we review your project location (e.g. Germany, France, Nordics, Mediterranean), then map the relevant EN standards and national rules for curtain walls, doors and windows. Based on climate, fire escape, acoustic and accessibility requirements, we propose suitable system families and glass options so the design is compatible with local codes from day one.
How do you handle wind load, snow load and structural design for European façades?
We use site-specific wind and snow data together with your structural engineer’s models. Our team sizes mullions, transoms, anchors and door / window frames, then issues reaction tables and bracket layouts. This helps engineers design slabs and edge beams correctly and gives façade contractors clear fixing details for high-rise and exposed projects.
Can your systems meet European energy and nZEB requirements?
Yes. We work with your energy modeller to provide U-values, g-values and ψ-values for complete façade build-ups. Different glass types, thermal breaks and spandrel options are combined into clear “good / better / best” packages so you can choose a curtain wall, door and window solution that meets EPBD / nZEB targets and project budget.
Do you coordinate daylight, comfort and glare control as well?
We don’t only look at numbers on paper. For offices, hotels and residential projects we review orientation, room depth and shading strategy, then tune glass and frame options so spaces have good daylight while avoiding glare, summer overheating and cold downdraughts near windows and doors.
How do you ensure long-term durability of façades in different European climates?
We select alloys, surface treatments, gaskets and drainage concepts according to site exposure: marine-grade finishes for coastal areas, higher corrosion classes for industrial zones and details that tolerate freeze–thaw in colder regions. The same durability logic is applied across curtain walls, entrance doors and operable windows so the whole envelope ages consistently.
What kind of drawings and documentation will we receive?
Once systems are defined, we supply coordinated shop drawings, profile schedules, fixing details and glass lists for curtain walls, doors and windows. These are issued in formats your façade contractor can use directly for fabrication, and can be accompanied by structural reaction data and performance declarations needed by European consultants and authorities.
Can you support us during tender and value engineering?
Yes. We can review tender specs, highlight gaps or over-specification, and propose alternative curtain wall / door / window options that maintain performance while improving cost or buildability. This helps developers and contractors control budgets without compromising on compliance or façade quality.
What support do you offer during installation and after handover?
During construction we answer technical RFIs, join coordination calls and help resolve interface issues with other trades (steel, masonry, MEP, interiors). After handover we provide O&M manuals, recommended inspection intervals and spare-parts lists for key hardware and gaskets, helping building owners manage the curtain wall, doors and windows over the full lifecycle.
