Aluminium Manufacturing for Residential and Commercial Construction
Residential and commercial construction projects place very different demands on aluminium suppliers. Volume, repeatability, detailing, lead times, and coordination all vary depending on the type of project and how aluminium components are specified and installed.
At Alupress Ltd, we supply aluminium fabrications for both residential and commercial projects through a structured manufacturing setup that supports different project requirements while maintaining consistent quality and dependable supply.
Residential Aluminium Supply
Residential projects often involve high-volume, repeat supply across multiple plots, elevations, or phases. Aluminium components must be consistent, accurately manufactured, and delivered in line with programme requirements.
Residential aluminium supply typically includes:
- Aluminium window sills and surrounds
- Fascia and soffit components
- Gutters and downpipes
- Folded aluminium cappings and flashings
Manufacturing to drawing and specification ensures components can be reproduced accurately across phased developments, supporting smooth installation and visual consistency once installed.
Commercial Aluminium Fabrication
Commercial projects typically involve more complex detailing, bespoke profiles, and coordination with multiple building elements. Accuracy, tolerances, and finish quality are critical, particularly where aluminium components form part of the external façade or weathering details.
Commercial aluminium fabrication may include:
- Folded aluminium cappings and flashings
- Architectural trims and edge details
- Made-to-order aluminium profiles
- Project-specific fabrication to specification
These components are manufactured to suit the specific requirements outlined in drawings and schedules, supporting accurate installation and long-term performance.
Structured Manufacturing for Different Project Types
To support both residential and commercial supply, aluminium fabrication at Alupress is organised across three dedicated manufacturing units in Dublin. This allows residential volume work and commercial fabrication to be managed through appropriate workflows without compromising quality or lead times.
By separating production streams while maintaining shared quality standards and in-house processes, different project demands can be supported efficiently and reliably.
Integrated In-House Production
Residential and commercial aluminium components are manufactured as part of an integrated in-house process, including:
- Precision aluminium bending and CNC folding
- Aluminium fabrication and welding
- Fibre laser cutting
- In-house powder coating across all three units
This integration reduces reliance on third parties, improves coordination between processes, and supports consistent quality across different project types.
Supporting Phased and Repeat Supply
Both residential and commercial projects often require aluminium components to be supplied in stages. In-house manufacturing allows components to be reproduced consistently across multiple production runs, ensuring visual and technical consistency throughout the project lifecycle.
This approach supports long-term programmes, repeat supply agreements, and phased construction schedules.
Project Information & Enquiries
For residential or commercial projects requiring aluminium components manufactured to drawing and specification, project information such as drawings or schedules can be forwarded for review. This allows manufacturing requirements, finishes, and lead times to be assessed in line with project needs.
Summary
Supplying aluminium fabrications for residential and commercial projects requires structured manufacturing, in-house capability, and a clear understanding of how aluminium components are specified and installed. By supporting both project types through dedicated workflows and integrated production, Alupress provides consistent, reliable aluminium supply for construction projects across Ireland and the UK.
