Aluminum Arch Window

Aluminum Arch Window – Custom Geometry, Uncompromising Performance

An aluminum arch window is one of the most distinctive and architecturally compelling fenestration elements available to designers and builders. The graceful curve of an arched head transforms an ordinary window opening into a focal point that elevates the entire facade, lending an air of craftsmanship, elegance, and permanence that rectangular windows alone cannot achieve. SKATE's aluminum arch windows are produced using our bendable-grade 6063-T5 aluminium profiles, cold-bent with precision tooling to achieve smooth, consistent arcs across any radius — from gentle shallow curves to full semicircles, full-circle oculus windows, pointed Gothic arches, and complex compound shapes.

The Art and Science of Curved Aluminium

Bending aluminium profiles for architectural windows is not a simple operation. The material must be carefully selected for its bend grade, the bending process must be controlled to prevent surface distortion or cross-section deformation, and the thermal break strip within the profile must maintain its integrity through the bending process. SKATE's production team uses dedicated CNC-controlled bending machines calibrated to produce consistent curves across multiple profiles within the same batch — ensuring that the curved head, jambs, and sill of an aluminum arch window all align precisely during assembly.

The curved glass required for aluminium arch windows is produced using heat bending or cold bending of standard flat glass sheets, with the specific process chosen based on glass thickness, radius, and performance requirements. All curved glass supplied by SKATE meets the same optical and structural standards as flat glass units in our product range.
