Module 1 – Introduction to Aluminium Systems

This first module lays the foundation for your journey into the aluminium construction industry.

You’ll gain a clear understanding of aluminium as a building material, its advantages over uPVC, and how aluminium systems are used across the UK market.
We also introduce you to common system types — including windows, doors, bifolds, and curtain walling — and explain how to navigate system manuals effectively.

You’ll explore key industry terminology, compare thermal and non-thermal systems, and take your first steps in interpreting technical documentation using real-world examples.
