Aluminium Profiles for Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe project quick facts

A short reference for planning a profile order to Zimbabwe. Confirm current routes and import documents with your freight forwarder before shipment.

Aluminium profiles for Zimbabwean construction

Housing developments around Harare and Bulawayo, along with offices, shops and lodges, drive demand for aluminium windows and doors in Zimbabwe. Local fabricators assemble most of them and need practical sections, compatible hardware and consistent colours.

The 15 sections in our Zimbabwe catalogue include window and door profiles commonly requested by these fabricators. Send the sections you use most and we will match existing dies or quote custom extrusions.

Highveld climate and summer storms

Harare and Bulawayo enjoy a mild highveld climate, but summer thunderstorms bring heavy rain and occasional hail, so drainage and sealing on sliding windows matter. Strong sunlight at altitude also calls for UV-suitable finishes.

Cool winter nights make insulated glazing and a thermal break aluminum profile worth considering for homes and offices that want better comfort. Lowveld areas are hotter, so tell us the project location.

Zimbabwe aluminium profiles sample catalogue

The 15 images below are the profile sections grouped for Zimbabwe in the MT Flying sample catalogue. Use them to identify sections familiar to Zimbabwean fabricators or to discuss an alternative.

Quote the sample number (for example “Zimbabwe 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 Zimbabwe

Our sliding window systems and casement windows cover most residential needs, while lodges and villas can use the panoramic sliding door and folding door ranges for openings to verandas.

Distributors can combine building profiles with interior door profiles and cabinet profiles in one container.

Shipping aluminium profiles to Zimbabwe

As Zimbabwe has no seaport, cargo usually arrives at Beira in Mozambique or Durban in South Africa and continues by road or rail. Agree the route, incoterm and clearing agent with your forwarder before ordering.

Packing must protect profiles over the long inland leg. Ask for reinforced bundles, protective film and series labels, and tell us about any length limits for trucks.

How to order aluminium profiles for Zimbabwe

To prepare a quotation for Zimbabwe, please send:

• Section drawings or the Zimbabwe 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 city and preferred port (Beira or Durban), your incoterm and clearing agent
• 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.
