PROFILES SYSTEMS: exterior joinery & facades

Aluminum profile engineering at the service of the building envelope

Founded in Baillargues, Profils Systèmes operates in the sector of aluminium construction systems, by designing profiles intended for the manufacture of joinery and facade works.

These technical components are used by manufacturers, aluminum joinery workshops, and facade contractors to produce:

• aluminum windows and doors
• sliding windows
• curtain walls
• verandas and pergolas
• railings and gates

An aluminum profile is an extruded element used as the basis for manufacturing exterior carpentryIt incorporates structural, thermal and aesthetic functions.

In practice, these systems are integrated into the overall design of thebuilding envelope, in line with the requirements of thermal and environmental regulations, in particular RE2020.

Aluminium systems adapted to architectural requirements

Aluminium is emerging as a preferred material in contemporary projects, particularly for glass facades and large openings.

The solutions developed by Profils Systèmes enable:

• to achieve long spans thanks to the rigidity of the material
• to optimize the supply of natural light
• to integrate sliding pocket or lifting systems

These systems are commonly used in commercial buildings or multi-family housing, where thermal and acoustic performance must be controlled.

However, one technical limitation remains: aluminum is naturally conductive. It requires the integration of thermal break elements to achieve the performance levels required by current regulations.

Product innovation and applied research in aluminum joinery

Profils Systèmes' activity is based on an active R&D department, which regularly develops new technical solutions.

These innovations include, in particular:

• improving the thermal insulation of windows and doors
• the integration of new finishes and surface treatments
• the optimization of assembly systems

"Innovation is a key lever for responding to changes in the construction sector."

In practice, design offices and specifiers integrate these solutions into projects aimed at improving energy performance and occupant comfort.

A concrete example: the systems of aluminium curtain walls allow the design of fully glazed facades, used in commercial buildings, while ensuring controlled management of solar gain.

A complete range of products for aluminum joinery and facades

Profils Systèmes offers a wide range of solutions covering several types of structures:

Aluminum exterior joinery

• windows and doors
• sliding windows
• shutters

Equipment for development and extension

• verandas
• pergolas and gazebos
• interior glass roofs

Façade and structural systems

• aluminium cladding
• curtain walls
• railings and stairs

This diversity allows carpentry companies and craftsmen to respond to different types of projects, both new construction and renovation.

A production that integrates sustainability considerations

Aluminium has a major advantage in construction: it is infinitely recyclable without significant loss of performance.

Profils Systèmes follows this logic by developing products designed to last and by integrating manufacturing practices aimed at limiting the environmental footprint.

In the context of current projects, this dimension is becoming crucial, particularly for operations subject to environmental certifications or low-carbon initiatives.

However, the overall environmental impact also depends on the conditions of aluminum production, particularly the energy consumption associated with its extraction and processing.

Training for professionals and skills development within the network

The company also develops training programs dedicated to the aluminum joinery trades. These programs aim to support professionals in mastering manufacturing and implementation techniques.

"Training helps ensure the quality of implementation and the durability of the works."

These training courses cover several aspects:

• reading plans and integrating systems
• compliance with installation standards (DTU 36.5 for exterior joinery)
• air and water tightness management

In a sector where the quality of installation directly conditions the performance of the structures, this skills development constitutes a major operational challenge.

A position as a technical player in the aluminium sector

Profils Systèmes positions itself as a provider of technical solutions for industry players:

• joinery manufacturers
• installers
• design offices
• Architects

Its role is upstream in the value chain, providing systems ready to be transformed and integrated into construction projects.

In a context marked by increasingly stringent regulatory and environmental requirements, aluminum systems must meet ever more precise criteria in terms of thermal performance, sealing and durability.

Profils Systèmes illustrates the evolution of joinery manufacturers towards integrated technical solutions, combining innovation, performance, and adaptability. Aluminum, at the heart of this strategy, meets the needs of contemporary architecture, while requiring rigorous control of design and implementation processes.
