A neutral checklist for comparing two premium aluminium systems.
Compare like with like
AluK and Schüco are both established aluminium system brands. A fair comparison looks at the specific series you are considering, not the brands in general.
What to compare
Use the same criteria for each quotation:
System series and published sightline widths
Maximum panel size and weight for your configuration
Thermal and acoustic data for the exact build-up
Finish range and warranty terms
Local fabrication, installation and after-sales support
Lead times and price for the same specification
Local support matters
A premium system performs best when fabricated and installed well. Ask who will measure, fabricate, install and service your windows, and where they are based.
How we can help
We work with AluK Home systems. We are happy to explain how a specific AluK series compares on published specifications; for another brand, please ask that brand’s authorised partner for equivalent data.
