Why Aluminium Doors Are Widely Used in South American Projects
Aluminium Sliding Doors: A Practical Choice for Space Efficiency
In South American real estate projects, doors are not just functional components. They directly affect the overall value of a building, space efficiency, and project positioning.
Whether for residential apartments, townhouses, or small to mid-sized commercial properties, developers are paying more attention to three key factors when selecting door solutions: durability, design flexibility, and long-term total cost.
Against this background, aluminium doors have become a common choice in South American real estate projects.However, not every door style fits real developer needs. Choosing the right door style often helps projects move forward faster and gain better market acceptance.
Based on VIGORAWINDOWS’ export experience in South America and other emerging markets, this article introduces several aluminium door styles that are most favored by real estate developers, and explains the application scenarios best suited for each type.
Before discussing specific styles, it is important to understand a practical background:Many real estate projects in South America must control budgets while still maintaining basic quality and appearance.
Compared with other materials, aluminium doors perform consistently in the following aspects:
Strong resistance to high humidity and intense sunlight
Low risk of deformation, suitable for long-term use
Multiple surface treatment options with customizable appearance
High structural strength, suitable for large-size designs
For real estate developers, this means:Within a controllable cost range, aluminium doors can meet a wide variety of needs, from basic housing to mid-range projects.
In South American residential projects, Aluminium Sliding Doors are the most common and most widely accepted solution.
Why do developers prefer this style?
Sliding operation saves interior space
Ideal for connecting balconies, terraces, and courtyards
Mature structure with low maintenance requirements
For medium- to high-density residential projects, sliding doors improve space efficiency without increasing building area.
VIGORAWINDOWS project experience
In South American markets, Aluminium Sliding Doors are commonly used for:
Apartment balconies
Townhouse backyards
Entrances to small and mid-sized commercial spaces
By adjusting glass configurations and profile thickness, overall project costs can be controlled flexibly.
When projects require higher visual appeal, Aluminium French Doors are often included in design plans.The key characteristics of this door style include:
Symmetrical opening with a clean appearance
Suitable for garden-facing or public spaces
Enhances the overall visual value of the building
In some mid-range residential or resort-style projects in South America, French doors help elevate project positioning without significantly increasing costs.
From a developer’s perspective
French doors are usually used as accent features rather than applied uniformly across an entire building, making it easier to balance budget and visual impact.
In some high-end residential or mixed-use projects, demand for Aluminium folding doors is increasing.This door type allows projects to:
Open up large areas
Connect indoor and outdoor spaces
Serve public or activity-focused areas
However, folding doors require higher standards for structure and hardware, and are not suitable for all projects.
In real applications
Aluminium folding doors are more suitable for:
Villas
Resort apartments
Display-oriented commercial spaces
For large-scale standardized residential projects, developers usually adopt a cautious approach when using folding doors.
In the South American real estate market, there is no single door style that fits all projects.
The most effective approach is to match different aluminium door styles based on project positioning, budget, and usage scenarios.
What VIGORAWINDOWS aims to do is not just supply products, but help overseas distributors provide door and window solutions that are practical, scalable, and easy for developers to implement.
