Engineered to European & International Standards (CE, EN 13830, ASTM), fully customizable for commercial high-rises, luxury residential developments, and civic architecture across Argentina.
Argentina’s expansive geography demands façade solutions engineered for hyper-specific environmental pressures—from the Atlantic squalls of Buenos Aires to the seismic zones of Mendoza and the frigid winds of Patagonia.
Coastal real estate in Buenos Aires (Puerto Madero, Nordelta, CABA) and Mar del Plata face extreme pressure differentials driven by Sudestada and Pampero winds. Our curtain walls utilize structural mullions calculated for wind pressures up to 2.5 kPa to 3.0 kPa (ASTM E330 / EN 12210), ensuring structural rigidity without aesthetic compromise.
For developments in Western Argentina (Mendoza, San Juan, Salta), seismic movement requires elastic inter-story drift capacity. ALUCCO’s unitized curtain wall joints integrate engineered expansion gaps and dynamic structural silicone beads capable of absorbing up to ±25mm of story displacement without glass breakage.
Southern Argentina’s harsh sub-zero conditions demand superior thermal insulation to meet IRAM 11507 (Zona VI) building standards. Our thermal break profiles feature 24mm to 34mm technoform polyamide strips paired with argon-filled triple Low-E glazing, achieving U-values down to 0.9 W/m²K.
Whether managing high-rise commercial developments in Córdoba or boutique residential towers in Rosario, selecting the appropriate structural typology ensures optimum budget efficiency and installation velocity.
Unitized curtain walls represent the pinnacle of modern architectural facade engineering, designed specifically for mid-to-high-rise structures. Fabricated, glazed, and sealed entirely under controlled factory conditions in our production plant, interlocking frame units are shipped directly to your job site in Argentina.
Stick curtain wall systems offer maximum geometric versatility and low transport volume. Vertical mullions and horizontal transoms are shipped as precision-machined aluminum extrusions and assembled piece-by-piece on-site before glass pane insertion.
Eliminating external metallic cover caps, SSG curtain walls project a sleek, continuous all-glass architectural facade. Glass units are bonded to anodized aluminum adapter frames using high-modulus structural silicone sealants.
Utilizing high-tensile stainless steel spider fittings (AISI 316) and articulated rotules, point-supported glass facades deliver maximum light transmission and visual transparency for commercial lobbies, shopping centers, and airport terminals.
Comprehensive engineering metrics tested under European (EN) standards and verified for compliance with Argentina’s IRAM fenestration and structural load requirements.

*Note: Thermal performance values ($U_{\text{cw}}$ / $U_{\text{w}}$) depend on specified Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) configuration, double Low-E coating, argon fill ratio, and polyamide thermal break width.
Navigating international trade into Argentina requires rigid compliance with customs documentation, customs valuation standards, and specialized maritime cargo packaging.
ALUCCO delivers complete commercial dossiers required for Argentine import declarations (SIRA / SEDI compliance protocols). We supply standardized HS Code classifications (7610.10 for aluminum doors/windows/frames and 7610.90 for curtain wall structural extrusions), together with Certificate of Origin, packing lists, and bill of lading (B/L) documentation tailored for seamless processing through AFIP/Aduana.
Strategic shipping from Turkey’s premier container hubs (Ambarli, Gemlik, Izmir) provides direct ocean lines to Puerto de Buenos Aires, Puerto Dock Sud, and Terminal Zárate. We offer flexible Incoterms—FOB, CFR, or CIF Buenos Aires—with optimized container loading to minimize freight cost per square meter of glass facade.
Transatlantic maritime routes require robust protective crating. Every aluminum profile is wrapped in PE film, corner-shielded, and secured inside fumigated ISPM-15 compliant wooden crates. Double-glazed IGUs travel on custom heavy-duty steel A-frames equipped with shock-absorption rubber strips and moisture-desiccant gel packs to prevent sea-spray oxidation.
Combining Turkey’s advanced aluminum extrusion industry base with international engineering oversight, ALUCCO provides an unassailable balance of structural quality, certified testing, and direct factory pricing.
Extrusions produced from 6063-T6 architectural grade aluminum, machined on 5-axis automated CNC centers for exact tolerances (EN 12020-2) matching your CAD elevations.
Electrostatic powder coating certified under Qualicoat & Qualanod standards (min 60 µm film thickness), guaranteeing resistance against coastal UV and salt oxidation in Atlantic regions.
Equipped with premium global hardware systems including ROTO, STAC, Siegenia, and master Turkish extrusion partnerships (ASAS, Saray, Cuhadaroglu) tailored to your hardware budget.
Essential guidance on custom fabrication, lead times, structural engineering validation, and import logistics for projects in Argentina.
Yes. Our engineering team calculates structural mullion moment of inertia ($I_{\text{x}}, I_{\text{y}}$) based on your elevation drawings, building height, and regional wind pressures (following ASTM E330 / EN 13830 standards). We issue a technical dossier with U-value calculations, structural deflections, and anchor point load data for your local structural engineering sign-off.
Production lead time for customized unitized or stick curtain wall profile extrusions and glazing assembly is typically 30 to 40 days following DWG shop-drawing approval. Maritime ocean transit from Turkish ports to Puerto de Buenos Aires or Terminal Zárate generally requires 28 to 35 days depending on the selected ocean carrier.
Absolutely. Our thermal break profiles feature polyamide thermal barriers (PA66 GF25) paired with Low-E double or triple-glazed insulated glass units (IGU). We calculate overall thermal transmittance ($U_{\text{cw}}$) to ensure full compliance with IRAM 11507 energy labeling (Zona I through Zona VI including cold Southern Patagonia).
Every shipment is covered under ocean marine cargo insurance (CIF terms). In addition, we ship surplus extrusions, hardware components, and spare EPDM gasket meters inside each container. If glass damage occurs in transit, replacement glass units can be manufactured quickly to your exact elevation tags and dispatched via expedited freight.
Please provide architectural drawings in DWG or PDF format, including building elevations, floor plans, fenestration window schedules, and glass performance targets. Within 72 hours, our technical desk returns a comprehensive proposal including profile section CAD drawings, structural bill of quantities (BOQ), and itemized pricing.
Yes. We provide complete 3D assembly manuals, elevation layout tagging schedules, anchor installation diagrams, and video walkthroughs. For major commercial curtain wall projects, ALUCCO can dispatch senior installation engineers to Buenos Aires, Córdoba, or Rosario to supervise site layout, bracket anchoring, and gasket sealing sequences.
