Frequently Asked Questions

Aluminium windows and doors offer durability, strength, and resistance to corrosion and weathering. They are lightweight, low maintenance, and highly customisable in design and colour options — particularly well-suited to Cape Town’s coastal climate.

Prioritise companies that offer quality, innovation, and affordability with a strong track record and tailored solutions. Ensure they comply with industry standards such as AAAMSA and SAGGA for quality and safety guarantees — CGAW is fully accredited with both.
