In the evolving world of architec-tural excellence, where form meets function and sustainability meets sophistication, materials play a defining role. At the heart of this evolution is aluminium – a metal that offers strength, versatility, and sleekness. And when it comes to aluminium doors and windows engineered with precision and elegance, Schon Doorways has emerged as the preferred partner for architects across India.

A Legacy Rooted in Engineering Excellence
Founded with a vision to redefine fenestration in India, Schon Doorways stands apart not just for its products, but for the philosophy it embodies. Rooted in German engineering and driven by innovation, the brand has set benchmarks in design, quality, and customization. Architects trust Schon not only for its premium offerings but also for its deep understanding of what great design demands: adaptability, consistency, and collaboration.

Why Aluminium? A Material of the Future
Aluminium is fast becoming the material of choice for modern architecture. Its high strength-to-weight ratio, recyclability, corrosion resistance, and ability to support large spans make it ideal for sleek, minimal, and efficient designs. With the global shift toward sustainability and energy efficiency, aluminium provides thermal and acoustic performance when paired with the right technologies – all of which Schon integrates into its products.

Schon’s Aluminium Systems: A Playground for Creativity
From sliding and folding doors to minimalist slim systems, casement and tilt-turn windows, and smart entrance doors, Schon offers a wide range of aluminium systems. Each product is crafted with precision and can be tailored to fit the unique aesthetic and functional demands of every project.

Ultra-slim profiles provide more glass and less frame, enhancing natural light. Thermal break technology, double/triple glazing compatibility, and weather-resistant seals make them perfect for India’s diverse climatic zones.

Schon also offers corner sliders, lift-and-slide systems, automated door solutions, and frameless glass applications – enabling architects to explore spatial possibilities that were once limited by material constraints.

A Collaborative Approach to Design
One of the key reasons architects choose Schon is its consultative and collaborative approach. Whether you’re designing a high-end residence, a luxury hotel, or a commercial space, Schon works alongside architects from the conceptual stage to the final installation. With a dedicated team of project consultants, designers, and engineers, Schon ensures that every detail aligns with the vision of the project.

Every product that leaves Schon’s 80,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bangalore reflects an uncompromising commitment to quality, backed by rigorous testing, certified materials, and process automation.

Customization Without Compromise
No two buildings are alike – and neither should their doors and windows be. Schon thrives on design challenges, offering bespoke solutions with flexible sizing, diverse finishes, and special hardware configurations. Whether it’s a 15-foot-high sliding system or a delicate French window with integrated blinds, Schon adapts to your blueprint with technical precision.

Available in a range of powder-coated finishes, anodized options, and textured surfaces, the aesthetic choices are nearly limitless. This ensures architects never have to compromise their vision to meet performance standards.

Technology Meets Craftsmanship
Schon leverages advanced machinery, CNC precision cutting, robotic coating, and digitally monitored QC systems to deliver excellence at scale. But what makes its products special is the harmony between technology and craftsmanship. While machines ensure precision, every assembly is completed under the keen eyes of skilled artisans who understand the nuances of architectural design.

This blend ensures consistent quality across projects while retaining the flexibility required for custom, design-driven builds.

Sustainability at the Core
In an age where environmental consciousness is imperative, Schon ensures all its systems are designed with sustainability in mind. The aluminium used is recyclable, eco-certified, and low maintenance, reducing lifecycle costs and carbon impact.

Thermal break systems and glazing combinations help achieve better energy performance, enabling architects to comply with standards, Schon also practices waste reduction, efficient material usage, and responsible manufacturing protocols.

Trusted by 5000+ Architects Across 180+ Cities
Schon’s reputation is built on consistent delivery, strong partnerships, and product excellence. Over the past 15 years, the brand has partnered with over 5000 architects, supplied to 250,000+ homeowners, and established presence in 180+ Indian cities. Its ever-growing portfolio includes luxury residences, hospitality projects, retail spaces, and high-rise developments.

Experience Design at the Schon Experience Centre
Located in Bangalore, the Schon Experience Centre is a space where ideas come alive. Architects can explore full-size installations, interact with materials, test sliding mechanisms, compare finishes, and gain technical clarity – all in one immersive environment. The centre also serves as a hub for knowledge exchange through CPD sessions, live product demonstrations, and interactive workshops.
