Market Development History

During the 1990s and early 2000s, the Ecuadorian market relied heavily on standard non-insulated aluminum. These systems provided basic security but lacked the energy efficiency needed for the varied temperature fluctuations of the Andes.

Around 2010, the industry saw a shift toward more complex Casement windows construction, emphasizing airtightness and water resistance to handle the heavy tropical rains prevalent in the Amazonian and coastal regions.

From 2018 to the present, the integration of Polyamide strips and thermal breaks has become the gold standard, allowing for the proliferation of energy-efficient buildings that reduce reliance on HVAC systems in Quito's cool climate.
