Aluminum profiles for Iraqi construction
Reconstruction and new housing, commercial and public projects keep demand for aluminum windows and doors steady across Iraq, from Baghdad and Basra to Erbil and Sulaymaniyah. Local fabricators assemble most windows and doors from imported profiles and look for sturdy sections, reliable accessories and consistent colours.
Common requests include sliding and casement window sections, thermal break systems for better comfort, entrance and shop-front doors and curtain wall for commercial buildings. Send your section list and we will match existing dies or propose custom extrusions.
Extreme heat, dust and cold winters
Summer temperatures in central and southern Iraq regularly approach or exceed 50 °C, and dust storms are common. A thermal break aluminum profile with polyamide strips, combined with suitable insulated glazing, helps reduce heat gain through the frame. Good brushes, gaskets and closed track designs limit dust entry on sliding windows.
Northern cities such as Erbil and Sulaymaniyah also have cold winters, so insulated frames are useful there too. Finishes should be chosen for strong sunlight; agree powder coating or anodizing colour references in writing before production.
Iraq aluminum profile sample catalogue
The 12 images below are the profile sections grouped for Iraq in the MT Flying sample catalogue. Use them to identify sections familiar to Iraqi fabricators or to discuss an alternative.
Quote the sample number (for example “Iraq 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 Iraq
Start with our thermal break aluminum windows or the 55 series thermal-break casement profiles for residential and office buildings. For villas, our panoramic sliding door and aluminum sliding doors provide wide openings.
Commercial projects can add curtain wall profiles, and distributors can combine profiles with interior door profiles in one container.
Shipping aluminum profiles to Iraq
Sea freight for central and southern Iraq usually arrives at Umm Qasr near Basra. Buyers in the Kurdistan Region often receive cargo overland through Turkey. Agree the route, incoterm and clearing agent with your forwarder before placing the order.
Long inland transport and dusty conditions call for strong packing. Ask for wrapped bundles with protective film and series labels so profiles stay clean until fabrication.
How to request a quotation from Iraq
To prepare a quotation for Iraq, please send:
- Section drawings or the Iraq 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 route (Umm Qasr by sea, or overland via Turkey), 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.
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply thermal break aluminum profiles for Iraq?
Yes. Thermal break window and door profiles with polyamide strips are available. Send the opening sizes and glazing requirements so we can propose a suitable series.
How do you ship to Erbil or the Kurdistan Region?
Many buyers in the Kurdistan Region use an overland route through Turkey, while central and southern Iraq is usually served via Umm Qasr. Tell us your preferred route and forwarder.
Can you match the profiles we already use in Iraq?
Send a drawing or a clear photo of the section end with dimensions. We check existing dies first and only propose a new die when needed.
