Moisture control
A sealed frame with proper drainage keeps rainwater out of walls, which is the first step to stopping damp patches and mould.
Aluminium Doors and Windows in Kolkata
Kolkata is damp for most of the year. Timber windows swell and stick, paint peels around steel frames, and a corner of the wall always seems to have a patch of mould. Then the monsoon sets in, and the Kalbaisakhi storms of April and May throw rain and wind at the glass without warning. Aluminium is a sensible answer to all of this, because it does not warp, rot or need repainting. Fabricasto supplies aluminium doors, windows and glass systems for homes and offices across the city.
Old buildings, new needs
Kolkata is a city of tall ceilings and tall windows. Rajbaris in North Kolkata, Victorian-era houses in Ballygunge and Alipore, and older flats on Park Street and Southern Avenue were built with generous openings. Over the years many of those windows have decayed. Replacing them with aluminium frames of matching proportions can restore light and ventilation without altering the look from the street. For heritage-listed buildings, check what is permitted before changing anything on the facade.
In Salt Lake, New Town, Rajarhat and the southern suburbs, the buildings are newer. Apartment towers want compact, tight-closing windows. Independent houses and villas ask for wide sliding doors to terraces and gardens.
