Built On Trust

In the dynamic world of building and construction, trust is built on reliability. When it comes to the critical components of any structure – its windows, doors, and architectural features – ensuring their performance, safety, and longevity is paramount. This is precisely where Alsysco Aluminium distinguishes itself. Our commitment extends beyond aesthetics; we provide tried and tested systems backed by crucial industry certifications, giving architects, builders, and homeowners complete peace of mind.

The Meaning of "Tried and Tested" in Building

What does “tried and tested” truly signify for building materials? It means that a product has undergone rigorous evaluation, performed consistently under real-world conditions, and proven its durability and functionality over time. For aluminium systems, this translates to:

Endurance

Withstanding the diverse and often harsh South African climate, from intense sun and heat to heavy rains and strong winds.

 

Reliability

Operating smoothly and effectively for years, without premature wear, warping, or failure.

 

Safety

Meeting stringent safety requirements, especially for elements like balustrades and security features.

 

Performance

Delivering on promises of thermal efficiency, sound insulation, and weather resistance.

At Alsysco, “tried and tested” is deeply embedded in our design, engineering, and manufacturing philosophy.

AAAMSA Certification

One of the most important certifications for architectural aluminium in South Africa is that provided by AAAMSA – the Association of Architectural Aluminium Manufacturers of South Africa.

 

What is AAAMSA? 

AAAMSA is a voluntary association dedicated to promoting the highest standards of design, manufacture, and installation of architectural aluminium structures. They set rigorous performance criteria and conduct independent testing.

 

When an aluminium system is AAAMSA certified, it means it has been subjected to stringent tests for:

  • Wind Load Resistance: Ensuring it can withstand high winds typical in storms.
  • Water Penetration: Verifying that it keeps water out effectively, preventing leaks and damp.
  • Air Infiltration: Confirming minimal air leakage, which is crucial for energy efficiency.
  • Structural Integrity: Proving the system’s ability to remain stable and safe under various stresses.

 

Alsysco ensures that our systems are designed and built to meet, and often exceed, these critical performance benchmarks. This certification is your assurance of quality and reliability.

National Building Regulations & SANS Compliance

Beyond industry-specific standards, all building components in South Africa must comply with the National Building Regulations. These regulations are critical for ensuring public safety, health, and structural stability. They frequently refer to SANS (South African National Standards), which provide detailed specifications for materials and construction practices.

The Role of SANS

SANS standards cover a wide array of building aspects, from the quality of materials to energy efficiency requirements and structural design. Alsysco systems are meticulously engineered to comply with all relevant National Building Regulations and SANS standards. Choosing SANS-compliant systems from Alsysco means your building project is legally sound, safe, and designed for optimal long-term performance. It protects your investment and ensures the well-being of occupants.

Alsysco’s Commitment

Our commitment to “tried and tested” systems with robust certifications stems from a holistic approach to quality that encompasses every stage. We partner with and train Alsysco Accredited Fabricators who understand the nuances of correct installation, ensuring the system performs as designed and tested.

 

Don’t compromise on the safety, durability, or performance of your building’s essential components. Invest in “tried and tested” aluminium systems from Alsysco, and build with unwavering confidence.
