Aluminum windows and profiles for Jamaica
Jamaica’s building activity ranges from housing and apartments in Kingston and St Catherine to hotels, villas and resorts along the north coast. Local fabricators produce most aluminum windows and doors and need sections that work with readily available hardware and glass.
Sliding windows and doors are popular for ventilation and views, while casement and louvre-style openings remain common in homes. Send the sections you fabricate and we will match existing dies or quote custom extrusions.
Hurricane season and coastal exposure
The Atlantic hurricane season brings strong wind and driving rain from June to November. Profile depth, wall thickness, glass, hardware and anchorage all contribute to how an opening performs, so share the wind requirement and opening sizes with your enquiry.
Coastal salt air affects finishes and fixings. Discuss powder coating or anodizing for coastal exposure, specify corrosion-resistant accessories, and make sure sliding tracks drain heavy rain effectively.
Jamaica aluminum profile sample catalogue
The 9 images below are the profile sections grouped for Jamaica in the MT Flying sample catalogue. Use them to identify sections familiar to Jamaican fabricators or to discuss an alternative.
Quote the sample number (for example “Jamaica 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 Jamaica
Our sliding window systems and casement windows cover most residential openings, while resorts and villas can use the panoramic sliding door and folding door ranges for wide openings to terraces.
Distributors can combine window profiles with interior door profiles and cabinet profiles in one container for fit-out customers.
Shipping aluminum profiles to Jamaica
Most cargo arrives through the Port of Kingston, and Montego Bay can serve the north-west. Confirm your port, incoterm and customs broker when requesting a quotation.
We pack profiles with protective film and wrapped bundles. If you need shorter lengths for local trucks or storage, tell us before production.
How to request a quotation from Jamaica
To prepare a quotation for Jamaica, please send:
- Section drawings or the Jamaica 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 (Kingston or Montego Bay), 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
Do you ship aluminum profiles to Kingston, Jamaica?
Yes. Most orders ship to the Port of Kingston; Montego Bay can also be quoted. Confirm the port and incoterm with your enquiry.
Are your windows suitable for hurricane areas?
Performance depends on the complete assembly, including glass, hardware and anchorage. Send the wind requirement and opening sizes so we can discuss suitable sections and relevant test documents.
Can I order a mixed container of different profiles?
Yes. Many Caribbean buyers combine several window, door and furniture profiles in one container. Send your list and we will prepare a combined quotation.
