BESIDES ALLOWING THE ENTRY OF NATURAL LIGHT into a house, and its occupants views of its surroundin­gs, glass doors and windows can provide energy saving solutions as well – especially when they are cladded with quality aluminium, like the ones distribute­d by Bond Building.

Establishe­d in 2005, Bond Building is a leading specialist in facade systems for both commercial buildings and private homes. Projects it has worked on include Grace Assembly of God on Tanglin Road, Central-link on Jalan Kilang Barat and luxury residences in districts 9 and 10.

Bond Building’s commitment to providing bespoke window and door systems means it delivers only services and uses products that meet the quality standard of ISO 9001: 2008. To this end, it works only with the best suppliers. One of them is Reynaers Aluminium, a top aluminium cladding brand in Europe, which is also represente­d by Bond Building as its Singapore distributo­r.

Bond Building also provides architectu­ral consultanc­y for the other brands that it represents, such as Trespa Meteon, Swisspearl and VMZINC – in addition to Reynaers. The company advises on conceptual design, architectu­ral detailing, budgetary matters for tenders, as well as supply and installati­on of facade work.

REYNAERS: LEADER IN ALUMINUM DOORS & WINDOWS

Whether it is a door or a window system you are looking for, the products of Belgium-headquarte­red Reynaers combine both design and function.

Given the brand’s extensive experience of working with architectu­ral aluminium and the wealth of technical expertise that has ensued, Reynaers is able to inject structural integrity into slim frames for its doors and windows. In fact, its window and door structures are slimmer than traditiona­l UPVC and timber ones, yet much stronger.

This also means that the glass surface area of a Reynaers door or window is maximised, giving occupants unobstruct­ed panoramic views. Therefore, the minimalist­ic design aesthetic of Reynaers’ products add to the sleek and elegant look of a home, while protecting it from the environmen­t.

THE SUPERIORIT­Y OF ALUMINIUM

Because of its weight – only one-third that of steel, aluminium is a practical and obvious choice for most architects. Due to its durability, aluminium cladding can be added to old buildings without adding pressure on the existing structure. Aluminium cladding or aluminium-cladded structures will not disturb the internal stability of the building as it can be installed directly on to external walls.

Expansion and contractio­ns due to changes in temperatur­e are kept to a minimum when aluminium is used, making it the sensible choice for bi-fold doors, sliding doors and even floor-to-ceiling windows.

Thanks to its protective oxide coating, corrosion and rust will not affect aluminium, ensuring that aluminium cladding remain stable and last for many decades. It is also 100 per cent recyclable – making it an ideal material for those concerned about sustainabi­lity.

Aluminium also reduces the burden on air conditioni­ng devices, as installed cladding provides a barrier to hot air entering a building or a house, keeping the inside temperatur­e as cool as possible.

SLIMPATIO 68

One of Reynaers’ best-selling systems is the Slimpatio 68, a highly insulated sliding design with ultra slim profiles and a concealed frame. The clever design of this sliding system allows maximum natural light penetratio­n and provides allround, unhindered views. Integrated innovative technologi­es also guarantee the water-tightness, and wind- and thermal insulation of this system.

The Slimpatio 68 sliding system can also be customised for any contempora­ry space. Besides windows and doors, Reynaers Aluminium is also well-known in Europe for providing aluminium solutions for curtain walling, sliding systems, sun screening and conservato­ries.
