ALUCCO (GOMAX Emlak Gayrimenkul Insaat Dis Ticaret Ltd. Sti.) operates as a premier facade engineering and direct extrusion partner based in Turkey's world-renowned aluminum manufacturing cluster.
Modern architectural envelopes demand an intricate synthesis of structural calculation, thermal physics, air/water tightness, and aesthetic freedom. Sourcing Aluminum Curtain Wall Systems for commercial towers, mid-rise office complexes, luxury residential developments, or institutional facilities requires far more than picking standard profiles from a catalog. It demands dedicated project engineering, wind load simulations, custom extrusion design, and rigorous international certification compliance.
Our engineering team bridges the gap between complex architectural concepts and factory-floor extrusion. Before a single aluminum billet is extruded or cut, ALUCCO engineers evaluate your architectural DWG elevations, assess site-specific wind pressures according to local building codes (such as Eurocode 9 EN 1999 or ASCE 7), calculate dead loads and thermal expansion profiles, and model total energy performance ($U_{cw}$).

An insider look at how sustainability mandates, prefabrication, smart glazing, and supply chain shifts are reshaping commercial building envelopes through 2030.
Global procurement standards now prioritize low-carbon aluminum billets containing 75%+ recycled content (post-consumer scrap). Extruding curtain wall mullions with low-carbon primary metal significantly reduces embodied carbon metrics ($kg CO_2e / kg Al$), helping developers secure LEED v4.1 and BREEAM Outstanding accreditations. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are now standard requirements for major cross-border tenders.
Rising job-site labor rates and tight construction timelines in North America, Western Europe, and the GCC region are accelerating the shift from field-assembled stick curtain walls to off-site unitized systems. Complete glazed unitized panels—featuring integrated vision glass, spandrel panels, insulation, and flashing—are manufactured under strict factory conditions in Turkey and shipped ready for direct crane hoisting, slashing site assembly schedules by up to 70%.
As stringent building energy codes (such as EU NZEB and ASHRAE 90.1) mandate maximum energy conservation, aluminum curtain wall profiles rely on expanded polyamide strips (PA66 GF25 reinforced with 25% fiberglass) paired with polyolefin foam inserts and aerogel thermal breaks. These engineered barriers decouple exterior aluminum caps from interior structural mullions, drastically eliminating thermal bridging.
The modern architectural envelope is morphing into an active energy producer. Future-proof aluminum curtain wall extrusions are designed with specialized internal wiring channels and junction box cavities to accommodate Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) spandrel glass and electrochromic smart glass. These systems automatically adjust Solar Heat Gain Coefficients (SHGC) while generating clean solar power on vertical building surfaces.
Global supply chain disruptions have driven general contractors away from high-tariff, long-transit regions. Sourcing aluminum curtain wall systems from Turkey offers an unbeatable combination of European technical engineering standards (EN 13830), competitive extrusion energy costs, shorter maritime transit times to Europe, North America, and the Middle East, and zero-tariff duty privileges under customs union agreements.
Architects increasingly demand uninterrupted all-glass modern facades. Innovations in structural silicone sealants (such as structural 2-part polyurethane and silicone bonding agents) allow high-rise facades to transfer heavy dynamic wind loads directly to aluminum sub-frames without mechanical exterior retaining beads, maximizing Daylight Autonomy (DA) and interior thermal comfort.
De-risking international facade procurement through engineering rigors, manufacturing transparency, and complete quality control.
Every proposal is backed by complete structural calculation packages, static mullion deflection models ($I_x, I_y$), finite element thermal simulations (LBNL THERM/WINDOW), and CAD/BIM shop drawings provided prior to contract signing.
Curtain wall profiles, mullions, glass units, and brackets are individually protected with protective film, packed into fumigated ISPM-15 wooden crates or heavy-duty steel A-frames, and moisture-sealed with industrial desiccant bags for long ocean voyages.
Unbound to a single rigid catalog stock, ALUCCO integrates architectural extrusion profiles and high-grade European hardware (STAC, Roto, G-U) to meet exact project specifications at optimal value-engineering price points.
Our aluminum curtain wall profiles are produced using primary EN AW-6063-T6 aluminum alloys and independently tested for air permeability (EN 1026), water tightness under static pressure (EN 1027), and wind resistance (EN 12211).
Leveraging Turkey's advanced industrial ecosystem allows ALUCCO to provide European-certified facade engineering at highly competitive manufacturing costs, providing significant savings on major commercial bids.

A Stick Curtain Wall System consists of long aluminum mullions and transoms shipped as loose profiles and assembled piece-by-piece on the building elevation, with glass installed from the exterior using scaffolding or cradles. Stick systems offer lower shipping volumes and higher design flexibility for complex shapes. In contrast, a Unitized Curtain Wall System consists of large, factory-fabricated, and pre-glazed aluminum frame modules. These panels are hoisted into position using floor cranes and interlocked using male-female split mullions. Unitized systems drastically speed up on-site installation, eliminate external scaffolding, and ensure superior seal quality under controlled factory conditions.
The total overall thermal transmittance of a curtain wall ($U_{cw}$) is calculated according to EN ISO 12567-2 or EN 13947 standards. It combines the thermal performance of the aluminum profile frame ($U_f$), the center-of-glass value ($U_g$), and the linear thermal bridge coefficient ($\Psi_g$) of the glass edge spacer. By utilizing widened polyamide thermal break strips (PA66 GF25), polyolefin insulation inserts, warm-edge spacers, and double or triple Low-E insulated glass units (IGU), ALUCCO curtain wall systems achieve thermal ratings from $U_{cw} = 1.6 \text{ W/m}^2\text{K}$ down to passive house standards of $U_{cw} \le 0.8 \text{ W/m}^2\text{K}$.
Our aluminum curtain wall profile series are engineered and tested in accredited laboratories in accordance with European Harmonized Standard EN 13830. Test parameters include Air Permeability (EN 1026 - Class AE 750Pa/1200Pa), Watertightness under static pressure (EN 1027 - Class RE1200 up to 1200 Pa uninterrupted water spray), and Resistance to Wind Load (EN 12211 - test pressure up to 3.5 kPa for design loads and 5.25 kPa for safety loads). Test reports are included within our technical dossier provided for project approval.
Yes. If your architectural drawings require specialized mullion profile sightlines, custom decorative fins, or specific structural depths not available in standard extrusion catalogs, ALUCCO designs and extrudes custom aluminum dies in-house. Die fabrication typically takes 10 to 14 days, followed by sample extrusion testing and Qualicoat powder coat finishing. Our engineering team provides full 3D CAD modeling and structural static validation prior to mass extrusion.
ALUCCO offers surface treatments compliant with international architectural standards: Architectural Powder Coating certified under Qualicoat Class 1, Class 2 (Superdurable PVDF), and Qualicoat Seaside standard for coastal environments (minimum 60–80 µm thickness). Anodized finishes are certified under Qualanod standards with layer thicknesses ranging from EURAS/EWAA Class 15 (15 µm) to Class 25 (25 µm) in natural silver, bronze, champagne, black, and custom metallic shades.
Aluminum has a coefficient of thermal expansion of approximately $2.3 \times 10^{-5} / \text{K}$. To accommodate thermal expansion and contraction across high-rise facades, ALUCCO stick systems feature sliding expansion joints with internal EPDM sleeves at floor-to-floor junctions. Unitized systems utilize interlocking split-mullion designs fitted with continuous weather-resistant EPDM gaskets that absorb dynamic inter-story building movements up to $\pm 25 \text{ mm}$ during seismic events without compromising weather seals or structural integrity.
