Aluminum profiles for Mauritius
Mauritius combines residential and commercial development around Port Louis, Ebène and the central plateau with villas, residences and hotels along the coast. Aluminum windows and doors are widely used, and local fabricators need sections that cope with the marine environment and match available hardware.
Popular requests include sliding windows and doors for living areas that open onto terraces, casement windows for bedrooms and bathrooms, and wide multi-panel doors for villas and hotels. Send your section list and we will match existing dies or quote custom extrusions.
Cyclones, humidity and sea air
During the cyclone season, openings must handle strong wind and driving rain. Profile depth, glass, hardware and anchorage all contribute, so share the wind requirement and opening sizes with your enquiry rather than choosing on appearance alone.
Sea air affects finishes and fixings on almost every site in Mauritius. Discuss powder coating or anodizing suitable for marine exposure, specify corrosion-resistant screws and hardware, and choose sliding tracks with good drainage for heavy rain.
Mauritius aluminum profile sample catalogue
The 14 images below are the profile sections grouped for Mauritius in the MT Flying sample catalogue. Use them to identify sections familiar to Mauritian fabricators or to discuss an alternative.
Quote the sample number (for example “Mauritius sample 001”) together with a section drawing when you ask for a price. The photographs are selection references only; they do not confirm wall thickness, alloy temper, finish or local certification, so the drawing and specification decide the final profile.
Recommended MT Flying systems for Mauritius
Villas and hotels often choose our panoramic sliding door and folding door ranges for wide openings to terraces, while apartments are well served by our sliding window systems and casement windows.
Developers can add interior door profiles and cabinet profiles to the same order to cover interior fit-out.
