Aluminum windows and profiles for the Philippines
Condominium towers and offices in Metro Manila and Cebu, subdivisions across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, and resorts in Palawan and Boracay all rely on aluminum windows and doors. Local glass and aluminum suppliers fabricate most of them and need consistent sections, accessories and colours.
Common requests include sliding windows and doors, casement and awning windows, and storefront and partition systems. Send the sections you use and we will match existing dies or quote custom extrusions.
Typhoons, monsoon rain and earthquakes
Typhoons bring strong wind and wind-driven rain, so profile depth, glass thickness, hardware and anchorage must match the wind requirement for the location and building height. Share the engineer’s requirements with your enquiry.
Heavy monsoon rain makes drainage design important on sliding windows, and the Philippines is seismically active, so glazing clearances matter. Coastal sites also need finishes and accessories suited to salt air.
Philippines aluminum profile sample catalogue
The 9 images below are the profile sections grouped for Philippines in the MT Flying sample catalogue. Use them to identify sections familiar to Philippine fabricators or to discuss an alternative.
Quote the sample number (for example “Philippines 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 the Philippines
Our sliding window systems and casement windows suit most condominium and house openings, while resorts and villas can use the panoramic sliding door and folding door ranges.
See our Southeast Asia projects for regional references, and combine window profiles with interior door profiles or cabinet profiles in one container for fit-out projects.
Shipping aluminum profiles to the Philippines
Most cargo enters through Manila, with Batangas, Cebu and Davao convenient for southern Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. Confirm your port, incoterm and customs broker with your enquiry.
For inter-island distribution, tell us your preferred bundle sizes and labelling so onward shipping is easier.
How to request a quotation from Philippines
To prepare a quotation for the Philippines, please send:
- Section drawings or the Philippines sample numbers you want to match
- Length per bar, quantity per profile and the total tonnage or bar count
- Finish: powder coating colour, anodizing, wood-grain or electrophoresis, with a colour reference
- Whether you need bare profiles, profiles with accessories, or finished windows and doors
- Destination port (Manila, Batangas, Cebu or Davao), your incoterm and customs broker
- Any test reports, certificates or documents your project or importer requires
MT Flying will review the drawings, confirm whether an existing die can be used or a new die is needed, and return an itemised quotation with the agreed packing and shipment terms. Approve the drawings and a finish sample before production starts.
Frequently asked questions
Which ports in the Philippines do you ship to?
Most orders ship to Manila; Batangas, Cebu and Davao can also be quoted. Confirm the port and incoterm with your enquiry.
Are your windows suitable for typhoon areas?
Performance depends on the complete window, including glass, hardware and anchorage. Send the wind requirement and opening sizes so we can discuss suitable sections and relevant test documents.
Do you supply condominium projects in Manila?
Yes. Send the window schedule, drawings and the engineer’s requirements, and we will review the profile and supply scope.
