Smart Architectural Systems, a Sharjah-based aluminium architectural systems supplier, has been recording steady growth since it was founded in 2002. It is now looking to further penetrate the market, given the surging demand for quality systems.
“We supply our Italian technology-based Smart systems to fabricators in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, Bangladesh and U.A. E who fabricate doors, windows, skylights and curtain walls for installation of projects in these countries” says Dr Ibrahim Nassar, managing director of Smart Architectural Systems.
“We have fabricators across the GCC, who are selected based on the consultants or the requirements of the particular project,” he adds.
The company has developed a complete range of systems for sliding, casement window and doors series that come with thermal-break or non-thermal break systems.
“Our window systems have today become the popular choice of fabricators who require thermally-efficient windows suitable for the different segments of the market.
“Our systems are in line with Italian specifications and are designed to suit the harsh climatic conditions in the Middle East,” says Dr Nassar.
When it comes to aluminium alloy windows, the firm specifies the materials, construction, finishes, design and hardware as well as the weather-tightness performance for the windows. “We believe in working closely with our customers and fabricators,” he adds.
Modern techniques and cutting-edge technology is used for the development of the firm’s products which are carefully engineered by experienced fabricators, taking into account the many varieties, shapes and sizes of the windows, doors or skylights.
“We appreciate the multitude of configurations that may be demanded by end-users and this why we are able to confidently promote our products which offer significant advantages, thus keeping our customers satisfied while ensuring continued sales for our company,” he comments.
Its sliding and casement composite units are integrated and have pleasing rounded edges that reflect the Islamic architecture.
“The smart systems are equipped with Master and Lavaal accessories. Our special sliding rollers are custom designed for smooth movement using needle roller bearings that have been tested for 10,000 cycles,” says Dr Nassar.
The aesthetically-pleasing appearance and versatility of the aluminium windows and doors as well as curtain walls and skylights from Smart Architectural Systems is evident from its many completed projects, ranging from private residential housing to large-scale commercial properties. These include the International Monetary Fund building in Bangladesh, a residential twin tower in Bahrain and the Al Majodi Tower in Dammam.
The company has earned a reputation for providing unparalleled support and assistance to architects and fabricators and it can even help the end-user identify the right product for the project, he concludes.
