 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The success and the final outcome of this construction assignment required a lot of guidance and
assistance from many people and we are extremely privileged to have got this along the completion of my
assignment. All that I have done is only due to supervision and assistance and I would not forget to
thank.
Ar. MANJUL PRATAP SINGH for providing me the opportunity to do the project work in and giving us all
support and guidance, which made me complete the assignment duly. I am extremely thankful to all of
them for providing such a support and guidance, although they had busy schedule.
I am thankful to and fortunate enough to get constant encouragement, support and guidance from all
teaching staff which helped us in successfully completing our design assignment. Also, I would like to
extend my sincere esteem to all the construction faculty for their timely support.
I also thank to all the other unnamed who helped us in various ways to complete my construction
assignment successfully.

 INTRODUCTION : ALUMINIUM DOOR AND WINDOW

The aluminium doors and window frames are made from extruded aluminium sections.
• The channels and box sections have flanges and grooves for double glazing and weather-stripping.
• The glazed doors are commonly advertised as ‘patio doors’.
• Aluminium is a conductive material
• Heat transmission can be reduced by separating the ALU profile in 2 parts using an insulating material to reduce the
thermal transmission.
• Conductivity of Aluminium:

ALUMINIUM
Aluminium occurs in abundance on the surface of the earth. It is available in various forms such as oxides, sulphates,
silicates, phosphates, etc. But is commercially produced mainly from Bauxite.
• Aluminium is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon), and the most abundant metal, in the Earth's crust.
It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth's solid surface

ALUMINUIM QUALITIES
Aluminium is remarkable for the metal's low density and for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of
passivation. Structural components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and are important
in other areas of transportation and structural materials. The most useful compounds of aluminium, at least on a weight
basis, are the oxides and sulfates

PROPERTIES OF ALUMINIUM

1. It is a very good conductor of heat and electricity.

2. It is a silvery white metal with a bluish tinge and it exhibits
bright lusture on a freshly broken surface.
3. It is a non-magnetic substance.
4. It is highly resistant to corrosion.
5. t is light in weight, malleable, and ductile.
6. 6. It is very soft.
7. 7. It possesses great toughness and tensile strength. 8. Readily
dissolves in HCl 

CHARACTERISTIC OF ALUMINIUM
• Aluminum can be recycled easily.
• Almost all aluminum are used in construction. • High scrape
value
• Non corrosive and non toxic so used for both indoor and outdoor
application
• It resist corrosion by water, snow and moisture without any
coating.
• Light weight and high strength and flexible
• It dose not strikes spark nor get brittle under extreme cold or heat

ALUMINUIM AS BUILDING MATERIAL

AIR TIGHTNESS
• A well designed aluminium door , window etc. is perfectly air
tight and sealed out for dust and rain water, when closed.
• This is useful in fully air conditioned buildings. 

APPEARANCE • Aluminium can be anodized or painted in any color, to any optical effect, number of surface touches,
in order to meet a decorative needs. It serves to enhance the material’s durability and corrosion resistance, as well as
providing an easy- to-clean surface.
EASE IN FABRICATION & ASSEMBLY • Aluminium can be easily fabricated into various forms such as foil, sheets,
geometric shapes, rod, tube and wire. • Aluminium could be easily assembled using welding.
HANDLING AND TRANSPORTION • Require fewer joints, producing fast and economical installation. • Aluminium
can be sawed, drilled, riveted, screwed, bent, welded and soldered in the workshop or on the building site.
HIGH CORROSION RESISTANCE • Aluminium building products are made from alloys, which are weather-proof,
corrosion-resistant and immune to the harmful effects of UV rays, ensuring optimal performance over a very long
serviceable lifetime.
HIGH REFLECTIVITY • This characteristic feature makes aluminium a very efficient material for light management.
Aluminium solar collectors can be installed to lower energy consumption for artificial lighting and heating in winter,
while aluminium shading devices can be used to reduce the need for air conditioning in summer.
HIGH SCRAP VALUE • To produce aluminum from recycled material, for example, requires only 5% of the energy
required to produce aluminum from bauxite. In addition, every ton of recycled aluminum saves four tons of bauxite.
HIGH STRENGTH TO WEIGHT RATIO • Aluminium sections are generally thinner and deeper than equivalent steel
sections to achieve the required strength and rigidity of same level.
MAINTENANCE COST • While Aluminium has a natural, built-in durability (it forms a protective layer of oxide as
soon as it is exposed to air), most Aluminium construction products are treated or coated. One way in which the
oxidization process can be enhanced is anodization
