Summary for decision-makers

Reynaers Aluminium France has grouped its systems into four families—Ultra, Minimal, Signature, and Performance—and will be showcasing them at Batimat 2026, from September 28 to October 1, in Hall 4. The manufacturer will be sharing a 250 m² pavilion with four partner companies. It will be highlighting TimberWall 50, a wood-aluminum composite curtain wall nominated for an Innovation Award, and Reyna'Track, its project-specific environmental datasheet configurator. The company forecasts €49 million in revenue for 2025.


A specifier comparing aluminum systems is initially confronted with catalogs. Between thermal performance, profile slimness, mixed facades, and workshop constraints, the criteria don't always align. Reynaers Aluminium France arrives at Batimat with a reorganized product range and a 250 m² pavilion shared with four manufacturers.


A 250 square meter pavilion shared with four manufacturers

The manufacturer occupies Hall 4 with a 250 m² space designed for demonstration and exchange rather than exhibition. It hosts four partner companies covering distinct markets: Tecamver Concept for premium joinery in the Southeast, FMD for public sector projects, ICB for building renovation, and Dassé Construction for off-site construction. Each company brings completed projects rather than samples.

This choice reflects a deliberate commercial focus. The company states that it prioritizes developing projects with its existing clients rather than conquering new markets. For a project manager or engineering firm, the consequence is clear: the presented offering targets projects where technical performance, not volume, is the deciding factor. The presence of the four partners serves to demonstrate the systems in real-world settings, from commercial buildings to facade renovations.

Four families to organize an offer that has become difficult to read

This grouping addresses a readability issue faced by any specifier when confronted with a catalog of systems. Each category corresponds to a dominant criterion, and it is this criterion that dictates the choice even before the profile reference. The four categories are not mutually exclusive: they separate priorities.

Family Dominant criterion Systems mentioned
Ultra High thermal, acoustic and energy performance MasterPatio, MasterLine 8 Swift HI
Minimal Slim profiles, maximum glazed surfaces SlimLine 38 HI+, SlimWall 35
Signature Mixed wood-aluminum facade TimberWall 50
Performance Streamlining workshop manufacturing IndusLine 68

The Ultra family targets buildings with high thermal, acoustic, and energy requirements. MasterPatio is advertised as Passive House compliant in its sliding versions, and MasterLine 8 Swift HI aims to combine insulation with reduced manufacturing time. The Minimal family, on the other hand, leverages slim profiles to maximize glazed areas: SlimLine 38 HI+ and SlimWall 35 exemplify this family, with a large-scale demonstration curtain wall installed for the trade show.

The wood-aluminum curtain wall stops at the second floor.

TimberWall 50 is the flagship product of the Signature family, and the only system in the selection nominated for the Batimat Innovation Awards. This curtain wall combines a wood structure with an aluminum skin, a combination chosen for both its carbon footprint and its interior appearance. The wood remains visible from the inside, while the aluminum withstands the elements on the outside.

Its limitation is structural and regulatory: the manufacturer intends it for buildings limited to two stories (R+2) , in accordance with the constraints applicable in France to composite wood-aluminum facades. This is a design consideration, not a marketing detail: it rules out the system for medium and high-rise buildings from the initial design stage. The components are supplied directly to manufacturers and installers via the ReynaPro software , thus shifting some of the preparation work to the workshop. This system is the only one in the selection to combine two load-bearing materials, and the only one this profile manufacturer presents with a height constraint.

An environmental datasheet configured for each project

On the environmental front, the manufacturer is shifting the debate from low-carbon aluminum to life cycle analysis, the framework adopted by the RE2020 regulation . To this end, it is developing Reyna'Track, presented as the first configurator for individual, certified, and customizable environmental and health declaration forms for each project. The tool is aimed at specifiers, engineering firms, and project owners.

The key issue is the accuracy of the reported data. A generic datasheet describes an average product; a customized datasheet describes the actual installed structure, with its dimensions and components. For a design office performing a regulatory calculation, the discrepancy between the two is directly reflected in the result. The industry has adopted the same approach with collective customized datasheets , and the question arises for any building designed under this framework.

The second point highlighted is the availability of universal hardware compatible with the main market standards. The argument is not performance but repair: a readily available part extends the life of a window or door instead of requiring its replacement. This is reasoning from both an asset manager and a manufacturer.

8% growth and a sales network that has become national

The company announced €49 million in revenue for 2025, an 8% increase in the first half of 2026, and a 6% rise in sales volume. It reported 248 clients and 122 employees , distributed between its headquarters in Lieusaint, its logistics hub in Brouchy, and its branches in Bordeaux, Nantes, and Lyon. The company declined to comment on the difference in volume compared to revenue.

A sales reorganization was initiated at the beginning of the year. The regional structure has been replaced by a national one, with dedicated contacts for specific areas and others focused on project specification. For an architect, this means a single point of contact identified upstream of the project, rather than a dedicated sales representative. It remains to be seen how this new structure will affect the monitoring of renovation projects, where the decision-making process involves more stakeholders than in new construction.



Frequently asked questions about Reynaers' aluminum offering

What is an environmental and health declaration form?

This is a declaration established under the manufacturer's responsibility, outlining the environmental and health impacts of a construction product throughout its life cycle. It complies with the NF EN 15804 standard and its national supplement, and can be consulted in the INIES database.

What is the difference between the Ultra and Minimal families?

The dominant criterion. Ultra targets buildings with high thermal, acoustic, and energy requirements, with MasterPatio and MasterLine 8 Swift HI. Minimal prioritizes slim profiles to maximize glazed surfaces, with SlimLine 38 HI+ and SlimWall 35. A large-scale demonstration curtain wall illustrates this second family at the trade fair.

How to choose between the four families of systems?

Starting with the constraints that dictate the project: the building envelope's performance leads to Ultra, the pursuit of transparency to Minimal, a mixed wood-aluminum facade to Signature, and streamlined workshop production to Performance. These categories separate priorities, not price ranges.

How do the components of the TimberWall 50 get to the workshop?

The manufacturer supplies them directly to installers via its ReynaPro software. The stated objective is to simplify the manufacturing and installation of the curtain wall by transferring some of the preparation work, usually done on-site, to the workshop. The manufacturer thus delivers the components without intermediaries.

Up to what height is a mixed wood-aluminium façade permitted?

TimberWall 50 is intended for buildings limited to two stories (ground floor and two upper floors), in accordance with structural constraints and French regulations applicable to mixed wood-aluminum facades. This limitation excludes the system for medium and high-rise buildings.

Where and when can these systems be presented?

At Batimat 2026, from September 28 to October 1, 2026 , at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Reynaers Aluminium France occupies hall 4 in a 250 m² pavilion, shared with four partner companies: Tecamver Concept, FMD, ICB and Dassé Construction.


Glossary of aluminum facades and joinery

Curtain wall

A lightweight facade fixed in front of the building's load-bearing structure, without bearing its weight. It provides enclosure, roofing and insulation, and consists of profiles and glazed or opaque infill panels.

Mixed wood-aluminum facade

The structure combines an inward-facing wooden frame with an outer aluminum skin that protects it from the elements. The wood is load-bearing, the aluminum resists aging.

Environmental and health declaration form

A standardized document, prepared under the manufacturer's responsibility, that declares the impacts of a construction product over its life cycle. It is used for regulatory calculations and can be consulted in the INIES database.

Life cycle analysis

An assessment method that identifies the impacts of a product from the extraction of raw materials to its end of life, including transport and implementation. It serves as the basis for environmental declarations.

RE2020

Environmental regulations applicable to new buildings, which add to energy requirements a carbon component assessed over the entire life cycle of the structure and its components.

Universal Hardware

This hardware is designed to be compatible with the main market standards rather than a single system. It facilitates the replacement of a faulty part and thus extends the lifespan of the joinery.
