Aluminium Joinery Trends: Enhancing Your Living Spaces

Aluminium joinery is a very popular option for new build and renovation projects across New Zealand. This stylish, durable joinery offers top-notch form and function. Aluminium is an incredibly versatile material, which means there are countless styles and options you could pick from when selecting the perfect windows and doors for your home.

Why Choose Aluminium Joinery?

You might wonder, “Why should I choose aluminium?” You have several options when it comes to joinery, and aluminium stands out for quite a few reasons:

  • Premium Durability. Aluminium is far more durable than alternatives like wood and uPVC. Better durability means a longer lifespan and better resistance to wear. 
  • Cost-Effective Energy Efficiency. Aluminium is robust and energy-efficient, especially if you choose thermally broken options. Save money in the long run by selecting energy-efficient options. 
  • Eco-Conscious Recyclability. Aluminium is entirely recyclable, promoting a circular economy and reducing waste. 
  • Prime Aesthetics. The sleek, contemporary look of aluminium windows and doors suits modern New Zealand homes. 
  • Easy Maintenance. Aluminium is highly durable and easy to take care of. Check out our handy tips section to learn more about proper upkeep.
  • Enhanced Security. The robustness of aluminium means this joinery is harder to tamper with, improving the safety of your home. Investing in new, professionally designed and installed windows will increase your property’s security. 

Top Aluminium Joinery Trends For NZ Homes In 2025

What specific options should you consider?

Thermally Broken Windows. Did you know that much of your home’s heat is lost through your windows? You can combat this inefficiency with modern thermally broken windows. These windows have an internal insulation barrier, separating the internal and external sections of the frame. This feature reduces heat transfer, improving energy efficiency, reducing heat loss and lowering your bills and energy usage. 

Furthermore, our thermally broken windows come in different forms:

  • Awning Windows. Awning windows are fantastic for improving internal airflow and ventilation. Stop your house from getting stuffy with beautiful, thermally broken awning windows. 
  • Sliding Windows. Make your house feel fresher, brighter and more open by maximising natural light and outdoor views. These are a lovely choice for homes with beautiful outdoor areas, greenery and landscaping.
  • Bifold Windows. Bring the outdoors in with bifold windows. Optimise your indoor-outdoor flow. 

Bifold Doors. These innovative doors are made of sections that fold into themselves, rather than swinging outwards. This clever design saves space and has a sleek, modern vibe to it. The fold-in nature makes good use of your space while minimising disruption to the surrounding area, allowing you to open your space up to the outdoors. 

Sliding Doors. Just like bifold doors, aluminium sliding doors save space and promote great indoor-outdoor flow. These doors slide to the side, rather than swing outwards, saving space. Just like most expertly designed aluminium joinery, aluminium sliding doors are visually pleasing and easy to use. 

You could choose sliding doors with large glass panels to maximise openness, natural light and unobstructed views, even when your doors are closed. Or, you could go for an opaque material to promote privacy and open up your doors when you want to let in light. 

Statement Entry Doors. Your front door is often the first thing people focus on when visiting your home. So, why settle for a generic option? Truly make a statement with a beautiful aluminium entrance door.

Entrance doors come in many looks and styles, especially when you choose a versatile material like aluminium. Pick an option with large glass panels to instil a sense of light and openness or pick opaque materials to improve privacy.

Aluminium is robust and weather resistant, so no matter what design you pick, you’ll be making an investment in the beauty, practicality and security of your home. 

Minimalist Designs. Aside from specific products themselves, aluminium joinery is often used for slim, minimalistic designs. 

  • Slim Profiles. Slimmer, sleeker aluminium sections make way for larger glass panels, improving natural light and views. Choose thermally broken glass to add to your energy efficiency. 
  • Clean Lines. Many homeowners are opting for clean, simple and straightforward shapes and lines, rather than complex designs. 
  • Less Hardware. Pick simple yet effective hardware that’s easy to use and easy to lock. 
  • Neutral Colour Palettes. Choose a neutral colour, like black, charcoal, white or silver, for your aluminium joinery.
