Colorful Frames, Durable Aluminum Choice — that’s the promise aluminum systems bring to modern architecture. In any home or commercial project, every detail counts, and windows and doors are no exception. While strength and longevity remain essential, today’s design preferences demand aesthetics that align with personal or architectural style. The best part? You don’t have to choose between form and function. With aluminum systems — especially those offered by GREFET — you enjoy both design flexibility and robust performance.
One of the standout advantages of aluminum windows and doors is the ability to customize their look through a variety of high-quality finishes. At GREFET, we recognize that no two spaces are the same. That’s why our systems are engineered to be compatible with several surface finishing options, including powder coating (even in wood grain textures), anodizing, and RAL color applications.
Important to note: While GREFET does not apply these finishes directly, our profiles are supplied in a way that allows fabricators or specialized partners to easily execute these treatments after delivery — ensuring seamless integration into your project’s color and design palette.
Why Choose Color Options for Aluminum Frames?
Aluminum frames are naturally sleek and minimal, but that doesn’t mean you’re limited to metallic tones. When paired with the right finish, aluminum frames can take on a completely different personality — ranging from bold and contemporary to warm and traditional.
Whether you’re looking to match the earthy tones of your exterior or bring a touch of color to a modern interior, GREFET’s compatible systems provide the flexibility you need.
1. Powder Coating — Including Wood Finishes
Powder coating is a popular finishing process for aluminum frames. The dry powder, once applied and baked, forms a hard, colored skin over the metal, giving it a consistent and durable finish.
With powder coating, you can achieve:
- Matte, satin, or glossy textures
- A wide variety of RAL colors
- Wood grain textures that resemble natural timber, ideal for traditional homes
This finish is not only aesthetically pleasing but also adds a layer of protection against corrosion, UV rays, and environmental damage.
2. Anodizing — Metallic Elegance
Anodizing is another surface treatment that gives aluminum a sleek, metallic look. This electrochemical process increases corrosion resistance and allows for subtle color tones like silver, bronze, black, and champagne.
It’s a preferred finish for commercial spaces and modern architecture because of its refined appearance and long-lasting performance.
3. RAL Colors — Unlimited Expression
RAL is a universal color matching system used in Europe that provides hundreds of standardized shades. From soft neutrals to bold statement colors, RAL finishes are ideal when color precision is key.
You can opt for:
- Color-matching with building façades
- Customized branding elements
- Design-focused themes for interiors
GREFET aluminum profiles are RAL-compatible, giving architects and homeowners total design freedom.
GREFET: Profiles That Adapt to Your Vision
At GREFET, we believe in building systems that offer versatility — both in performance and design. Our job is to ensure that the base product is engineered to the highest standards of durability, precision, and compatibility. We work closely with industry partners to ensure that once our systems are supplied, they can undergo surface treatments with ease.
While GREFET does not carry out powder coating, anodizing, or coloring processes in-house, we make sure our systems are fully adaptable for such finishes. This gives you the freedom to collaborate with local vendors or fabricators who can apply the desired finish, whether it’s a classic wood look or a bold matte black.
In Conclusion
Color plays a big role in defining the mood and personality of a space. With GREFET’s aluminum systems, you’re not limited to one standard finish — you’re empowered with choice. Whether you’re leaning toward modern minimalism, timeless woodgrain, or bold architectural contrast, our systems can support the finish that brings your vision to life.
Let your windows and doors do more than just frame your view. Let them reflect your style.
