Aluminium doors and windows in Saudi Arabia are the sliding, casement, lift-slide, folding and entrance systems fabricated from extruded profiles for housing, towers, schools, hospitals and retail. This page lists Saudi aluminium window and door suppliers and explains each system, the SASO conformity certificate and tests they need, energy code points, how desert heat and coastal humidity affect frames and finishes, and what sets price and lead time.

Saudi projects use aluminium for most windows and many external doors, from villa sliding doors in Riyadh to curtain-wall-adjacent windows in Jeddah towers. These products are part of doors and windows supply in Saudi Arabia, and since June 2021 they have been regulated products that need a SASO conformity certificate before they are sold.
| Product | Common Saudi applications | Specification points |
|---|---|---|
| Sliding windows | Housing programmes, apartments, compounds, staff housing | Track design and drainage, interlock seals, sash size, insect screen |
| Sliding and lift-slide doors | Villa majlis and garden openings, hotel balconies on the Red Sea coast | Panel size and weight, threshold, hardware, glass thickness |
| Casement and tilt-turn windows | Hospitals, schools, offices, government buildings | Multi-point hardware, gasket system, opening restrictors |
| Folding doors | Restaurants, cafes, villa courtyards | Panel count, bottom guide, locking |
| Entrance doors and shopfronts | Malls, clinics, banks, retail strips | Heavy-duty frame, pivot or butt hinges, closer, panic and access control hardware |
Neighbouring products are often bought from the same contractor. Large facades are glass curtain walls, lower-cost residential windows may be uPVC windows and doors, and warehouse openings use industrial roller shutters rather than aluminium leaves.
SASO's Technical Regulation for Doors, Windows and their Accessories requires aluminium doors and aluminium windows to carry a Type 1a product conformity certificate from an accepted body, registered on the SABER platform, plus a shipment certificate for each consignment. Fire resistant doors fall under the stricter Type 3 route.
| Requirement | Applies to | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1a conformity certificate and shipment certificate on SABER | Aluminium doors and windows, plus building hardware, locks, exit devices and seals | SASO and its accepted conformity assessment bodies |
| Tests for aluminium doors and windows: visual check, dimensions, ease of operation, bending and structure, air permeability, water leakage | Each product type certified | Standards listed in Annex 1 of the regulation |
| Factory environmental management system (ISO 14001 accepted) | Manufacturers supplying products in scope | SASO |
| Building envelope requirements in Chapter 5 of SBC 601 and SBC 602 (2018) | Windows and glazing in non-residential and residential energy design | Saudi Building Code National Committee |
SASO's guide states the regulation was approved in October 2020, came into force at ports and factories on 27 June 2021 and was first amended on 9 June 2023, and that complying with it does not replace compliance with the Saudi Building Code. These details come from SASO's Arabic guide, checked in October 2026; confirm the current version on SABER before ordering. Our SASO and SABER certificate guide walks through registration, and for fire rated openings see fire resistant doors.
Inland, the problems are solar heat and dust; on the coasts, humidity and salt. Choose the profile series, glass and coating for the city, not one specification for the whole Kingdom.
Aluminium conducts heat well, so a frame without a thermal break gets hot and adds to cooling load. Thermally broken profiles with insulated glass are the normal answer, and their U-value and solar gain belong in the SBC 601 or SBC 602 envelope calculation. Ask for whole-window figures and keep safety glass in the same submittal.
The SASO air permeability and water leakage tests show how well a window seals when new. In dusty cities, add drained tracks, good brush seals, stainless rollers and easy-clean details, and consider casement or lift-slide designs for exposed elevations.
Coastal humidity attacks poorly pretreated powder coating and plain steel fasteners. Ask whether the coater holds a QUALICOAT licence with SEASIDE endorsement, an enhanced pretreatment for aggressive atmospheres, and use stainless or coated hardware.
Most Saudi aluminium windows are fabricated in the Kingdom from licensed profile systems, either from a Saudi extruder or an imported European system. The SASO certificate must be held by the Saudi manufacturer or importer for the products placed on the market.
Ask every fabricator for the SASO certificate number and scope, the system licence, test reports for the sizes offered, the coater's QUALICOAT licence, glass and thermal data, and the installation and warranty terms. Profiles alone are listed under aluminium extrusions. To compare fabricators in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam on one schedule, post your requirement with drawings.
Certification, system series, glass and finish drive price; certification and imported components drive lead time.
