Aluminum profiles for the Senegalese market
Dakar and its growing satellite areas, including Diamniadio, account for much of Senegal’s construction activity, alongside fast-growing cities such as Thiès and Touba. Apartment buildings, villas, offices and commercial premises use aluminum windows and doors fabricated by local workshops.
The 15 sections in our Senegal catalogue include window and door profiles commonly requested by these workshops. Send the sections you use most and we will match existing dies or propose custom extrusions.
Coastal air, dust and the rainy season
Dakar’s peninsula location means salt air on most sites, so finishes and accessories should be selected for marine exposure. During the dry season, harmattan winds carry fine dust, so good brushes and gaskets help keep sliding windows clean and sealed.
The rainy season brings heavy showers, so drainage on tracks and sills matters. For air-conditioned buildings, thermal break aluminum windows and suitable glazing reduce heat gain.
Senegal aluminum profiles sample catalogue
The 15 images below are the profile sections grouped for Senegal in the MT Flying sample catalogue. Use them to identify sections familiar to Senegalese fabricators or to discuss an alternative.
Quote the sample number (for example “Senegal 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 aluminum profiles for Senegal
Our sliding window systems and casement windows cover most residential needs, while our aluminum doors and aluminum sliding doors suit entrances and terraces.
Distributors can combine building profiles with cabinet profiles and industrial aluminum profiles in one container to serve furniture and fit-out customers.
Shipping aluminum profiles to Dakar
Sea freight arrives at the Port of Dakar. Confirm your incoterm and clearing agent, and tell us whether part of the cargo will continue to inland or neighbouring markets.
We pack profiles with protective film and wrapped bundles, labelled by series to make checking and distribution easier.
