South India’s architecture has always balanced tradition with practicality, think Kerala’s sloping tiled roofs, Tamil Nadu’s spacious courtyards, and Karnataka’s colonial bungalows. In recent years, one modern material has quietly transformed how these homes and buildings are designed: aluminium windows. At GREFET, we’ve seen a steady rise in aluminium system adoption across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana, not just for premium homes but also for resorts, offices, and apartments. Here’s why the shift is happening, and what it means for both homeowners and fabricators to install aluminium windows in South India.
Why Aluminium Windows Are Perfect for South India
1. Withstand Heavy Rains and Humidity
South India’s coastal regions face intense monsoons. Wooden windows swell, warp, and demand constant maintenance. Aluminium systems:
- Resist corrosion when powder-coated or anodized properly
- Maintain their structural integrity in high humidity
- Offer smooth operation even after years of use
This means fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs, something both builders and homeowners value.
2. Work with Multiple Architectural Styles
From Kerala Nalukettu homes to modern glass-front villas in Chennai, aluminium profiles adapt beautifully. GREFET offers finishes that match:
- Woodgrain textures for heritage and traditional homes
- Matte black or champagne for minimalist villas
- Bronze or anodized tones for colonial-era bungalows
- Satin white for contemporary apartments
This flexibility allows fabricators to pitch aluminium as a premium, customisable solution.
3. Better Thermal Comfort
Many South Indian cities face hot summers. Our thermally insulated windows reduce heat transfer, keeping interiors cooler and reducing AC bills.
4. Larger Openings, Better Views
Coastal and hilly regions of South India are known for their scenic views. Aluminium’s strength allows for:
- Slim profiles
- Wider glass spans
- Sliding, folding, and lift-and-slide systems
Perfect for resorts in Kerala backwaters or villas in Coorg.

- Highlight Climate Resistance — Sell aluminium as the low-maintenance, long-lasting option.
