Aluminium Joinery in Overseas Territories: What Differences from Mainland France?
Aluminium joinery for Martinique, Guadeloupe, Mayotte, French Guiana, Reunion, Saint Martin, Saint Barthelemy, French Polynesia, and New Caledonia.
In overseas territories - Martinique, Guadeloupe, Mayotte, French Guiana, Reunion, Saint Martin, Saint Barthelemy, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and more broadly all tropical islands - aluminium joinery must meet very specific climatic constraints.
High humidity, marine air, strong UV exposure, and violent winds make aluminium the reference material for doors, windows, and sliding glass systems.
Overseas territories vs mainland France: very different requirements
Unlike mainland France, islands require:
• Reinforced corrosion resistance
• High AEV performance (Air - Water - Wind)
• Increased durability under tropical conditions
Aluminium joinery intended for overseas territories must guarantee watertightness, safety, and longevity, including in exposed coastal areas.
QUALICOAT powder coating and corrosion protection
In overseas territories, powder-coating quality is essential. Appropriate treatment provides:
• Excellent color retention
• Effective protection against oxidation
• Extended joinery lifespan, even in saline environments
These finishes are essential for projects located near the sea or on highly exposed islands.
Single glazing or double glazing: which choice on islands?
In overseas territories, you can find:
• Single glazing, still used to encourage natural ventilation
• Double glazing, increasingly requested to improve thermal comfort, limit solar gain, and improve acoustics
The choice depends on building type, exposure, and usage.
Aluminium sliding glass systems and accessibility thresholds up to 2 cm
Aluminium sliding systems are essential in overseas construction. Regulations impose an accessibility threshold of 2 cm maximum (up to 2 cm), making it easier for:
• Accessibility
• Elderly people movement
• Everyday comfort
This requirement is now integrated from the design stage.
Aluminium French doors, aluminium sliding systems, aluminium roller shutters, and aluminium sunshades for overseas territories
French doors, sliding systems, roller shutters, sunshades, and aluminium louvers are now key elements in construction and renovation projects, especially in overseas territories and tropical islands.
Aluminium doors, aluminium windows, and aluminium sliding systems maximize natural light while ensuring excellent resistance to demanding climatic conditions. Combined with aluminium roller shutters, they provide solar protection, safety, and thermal comfort.
Aluminium sunshades and aluminium louvers are particularly suitable for hot and humid climates. They promote natural ventilation, reduce direct solar gains, and improve indoor comfort while maintaining a modern and durable aesthetic.
Designed to meet tropical-environment constraints, these aluminium solutions offer excellent corrosion resistance, long service life, and compatibility with applicable technical and regulatory requirements in overseas territories.
LR CONSTRUCTION solutions: affordable, compliant, and high-quality aluminium joinery
At LR CONSTRUCTION, aluminium joinery solutions are developed in compliance with French and European standards.
Aluminium joinery manufactured in Turkey benefits from several structural advantages:
• Turkey is an aluminium-producing country, providing direct and controlled access to raw material
• Modern and industrialized production methods
• High-level quality control
• Solutions adapted to overseas territories and tropical islands
Local availability of aluminium as a raw material secures the supply chain, optimizes material transformation, and guarantees high-capacity production. This organization relies on modern industrial tools, high-performance production lines, and recognized know-how in aluminium joinery.
Aluminium joinery manufactured in Turkey by LR CONSTRUCTION meets the following requirements:
• AEV performance (Air, Water, Wind)
• Anti-corrosion treatment adapted to tropical climates
• Single and double glazing compatibility
• Sliding systems with accessibility thresholds up to 2 cm
Window price, roller-shutter price, sliding-system price, and more broadly aluminium joinery pricing vary according to dimensions, glazing, finishes, and technical performance. Sunshade and aluminium louver prices also depend on selected systems and anti-corrosion treatments.
Prices may vary. However, thanks to local aluminium availability in Turkey and advanced industrial production conditions, aluminium joinery made in Turkey can be offered at more competitive prices than products from other countries while complying with applicable standards.
LR CONSTRUCTION supports your projects in Martinique, Guadeloupe, Mayotte, French Guiana, Reunion, Saint Martin, Saint Barthelemy, French Polynesia, and New Caledonia with reliable, durable, and economically competitive solutions.
