Fabrication
At JB Aluminium, based in County Antrim, we believe that the quality of any aluminium façade system lies in its precision fabrication. After completing the detailed Design and Planning stages, we move into Fabrication—where technical drawings are transformed into high-quality, bespoke aluminium window and door components, ready for installation.
As trusted aluminium facade specialists in Northern Ireland, our in-house fabrication process ensures complete control over product quality, structural integrity, and performance. Whether it’s for residential housing developments, modern commercial units, or large-scale corporate buildings, our fabrication services deliver custom aluminium systems built to exact specifications.

What Is Involved in the Fabrication Stage?
The fabrication stage of aluminium window and door façades is where ideas take physical form. It involves cutting, profiling, assembling, and finishing the aluminium systems to meet the precise dimensions and performance criteria outlined in the earlier stages of the project.
1. Profile Cutting and Machining
Using precision cutting and CNC machinery, our team fabricates aluminium profiles based on the approved technical drawings. Every angle, length, and join is carefully measured and processed to ensure flawless accuracy. This is especially important for bespoke aluminium window and door systems, where even minor discrepancies can impact performance and installation.
2. Glazing Integration and Gasket Fitting
Depending on the project requirements, fabricated frames are prepared to accommodate double or triple glazing, thermal breaks, and weather-sealing components. We integrate gaskets, pressure plates, and drainage systems to ensure airtight, watertight results that meet modern thermal and acoustic standards across Northern Ireland.
3. Quality Assurance and Testing
Every frame and façade component undergoes a rigorous inspection to ensure compliance with BS and EN fabrication standards. Our quality control process includes checking:
-
Dimensional tolerances
-
Surface finishes and powder coating
-
Fixing points and structural elements
-
Glazing compatibility
-
Thermal and acoustic performance readiness
This step is vital for delivering long-lasting, low-maintenance aluminium façade solutions suitable for both residential and commercial sectors.
4. Finishing and Protective Coatings
JB Aluminium offers a wide range of RAL powder-coated finishes, as well as anodised options to suit your project’s aesthetic and environmental demands. These finishes are applied in controlled conditions, ensuring excellent adhesion, corrosion resistance, and colour durability—key for Northern Ireland’s changing weather conditions.
5. Packaging and Delivery Coordination
Once fabrication is complete, the aluminium systems are securely packaged for transport and scheduled for on-site delivery. Our planning team coordinates closely with contractors and site managers to ensure the components arrive in sequence, supporting a smooth and efficient installation phase.
Why Fabrication Quality Matters
Precision fabrication is what sets a superior aluminium façade system apart. Poorly fabricated units can lead to installation delays, compromised energy efficiency, and costly post-installation repairs. At JB Aluminium, our investment in skilled fabricators, advanced machinery, and stringent quality checks guarantees consistent results that last.
