High-performance casement window systems custom engineered for Coimbra's residential developments and historical urban retrofits.
Bridging Mediterranean climatic resilience with UNESCO World Heritage aesthetic compliance and contemporary energy efficiency standards.
Coimbra, recognized as Portugal's intellectual and historical heartland, presents a distinct dynamic for architectural glass and fenestration solutions. Stretching from the historic hillside precincts of Alta and Sofia down to the expanding modern commercial hubs surrounding Coimbra iParque and the residential expansion in Santa Clara, building envelope solutions must meet rigorous, multi-layered requirements.
The city experiences a Mediterranean climate strongly influenced by the Mondego River basin. Summers feature intense solar radiation and temperatures exceeding 35°C, while winters bring high humidity, persistent dampness, and cold river breezes. Consequently, property developers, civil contractors, and architectural firms serving Coimbra prioritize casement aluminum windows that deliver superior thermal barrier values (U-values), zero water ingress under wind-driven rainfall, and exceptional long-term structural integrity.
Under Portuguese energy performance frameworks (REH for residential and RECS for commercial sectors), windows installed in Climate Zone I1/V2 (Coimbra district) must satisfy stringent thermal transmittance thresholds:
Magella integrates German hardware systems with advanced Chinese profile extrusion lines for superior ROI.
Combining German architectural system designs with state-of-the-art Chinese extrusion & CNC production capacity.
Since its founding, Magella has been committed to research and development, innovating premium aluminum windows, doors, sunrooms, and technical architectural solutions. Adhering to our core philosophy of "Hard working and Integrity, Innovation and Success", Magella has established a fully integrated sales, R&D, structural engineering, precision production, and global export framework.
Magella drives technological innovation by combining standardized high-strength Chinese aluminum profile designs with advanced German system hardware. We cooperate closely with global top-tier hardware brands, including German HOPPE, SIEGENIA-AUBI, ROTO, KINLONG, BOGO, and OAOSM, guaranteeing smooth multi-point lock actuation, maximum burgle resistance, and operational lifespans exceeding 50,000 opening cycles.
Our solutions span 3 major categories: Aluminum Windows, Doors, and Sunrooms (Patios), further subdivided into over 12 specialized series: Thermal break casement windows, bi-folding doors, ultra-narrow frame sliding doors, heavy-duty lifting doors, casement doors, and motorized blinds/smart glass integration for ultimate privacy control.

| Wood-Clad Aluminum Casement | Composite Thermal Isolation | Double/Triple Laminated Soundproof Glass | ROTO Frank Heavy Duty Friction Stays | Heritage Retrofits & Hotel Conversions |
From strict heritage conservation rules in Old Town to sustainable high-tech commercial buildings.
Renovating centuries-old masonry structures requires aluminum casement profiles with minimal sightlines that emulate original wooden sash aesthetics. Magella’s ultra-narrow sightline aluminum casement series fits inside existing structural openings without altering historic facades, while upgraded double Low-E argon-filled units block ambient noise from busy pedestrian thoroughfares.
Contemporary residences require floor-to-ceiling casement window configurations featuring outward opening or tilt-and-turn functionality. Equipped with integrated flyscreens and hidden hinges, these systems provide maximized natural ventilation during breezy Mediterranean evenings while delivering airtight sealings against rainstorms.
Institutional facilities demand high structural rigidity, fire safety compliance, and low maintenance. Our high-grade 6063-T6 aluminum profiles, reinforced with stainless steel friction stays and tamper-proof multi-point locks, ensure durable operation under heavy daily traffic.
Hotels situated along river fronts need protection against elevated moisture and acoustic disturbances. Magella’s soundproof double and triple-glazed casement windows utilize asymmetric acoustic laminated glass (e.g., 6mm + 1.52PVB + 4mm) to provide acoustic isolation up to $R_w = 48\text{ dB}$.
Strict multi-stage testing, CNC machining precision, and export-compliant protective packaging.
Explore our full line of export-ready aluminum casement window systems engineered for European regulatory standards.
Streamlined procurement workflow from order customization to container discharge at Leixões or Lisbon Ports.
Clients submit project elevations or schedule lists. Our engineering department generates shop drawings, calculating wind loads ($p_3 \ge 3000\text{ Pa}$), glass center U-values ($U_g$), and acoustic values suited for Coimbra building codes.
Aluminum profiles are extruded using 6063-T6 alloy, treated with chemical etching, and finished with Qualicoat Seaside certified powder coatings (e.g., AkzoNobel or PPG) to resist coastal moisture and UV radiation.
Windows are packed in full plywood crates without raw wood exposure (ISPM 15 fumigation exempt). Cargo ships directly to Port of Leixões (Porto) or Port of Lisbon with full CE documentation, EUR.1 / Certificate of Origin, and packing lists.
