FAQ
Questions architects and contractors ask us.
- What does Alumina Engineering actually supply?
- We supply and install architectural products across six areas: automatic entrances and access solutions, operable and acoustic walls, fire protection systems, handrail and balustrade systems, restroom cubicle systems and soft interior products.
- Which brands and product lines are available through Alumina?
- dormakaba is available through Alumina as an official India Certified Sales Partner; Skyfold, McKeon, Merino and GM Fabrics are available through Alumina; and handrail and balustrade systems form an Alumina product line developed with Indian manufacturing partners.
- Do you only supply, or do you install as well?
- Both. We handle the full lifecycle — consultation, specification, procurement, installation, commissioning and maintenance — so a project deals with one accountable vendor instead of several.
- Do you work outside Mumbai?
- Yes. We are headquartered in Mumbai and operate a pan-India service network for delivery, installation support and ongoing maintenance.
- Which sectors do you work in?
- Corporates, hospitality, healthcare, data centres, retail, airports, villas and premium residences — 15+ industry sectors to date.
- Are your products code-compliant for accessibility and fire safety?
- Our automatic sliding door solution for persons with disabilities follows the National Building Code Volume 1-2016, Part 3 – Annexure B, and the CPWD Handbook on Barrier Free and Accessibility, Chapter 8. Products are certified to international standards including ANSI, EN, UL, CE, Intertek, Warrington Fire and BHMA.
- How do I get a quotation?
- Send your architectural drawings or a short scope note through the contact form, by email to sales@aluminaengg.in, or call +91 99302 79240. Our technical team reverts with a recommended system and commercial proposal.
- Do you provide after-sales service and spares?
- Yes. A dedicated service team handles maintenance, spare parts and technical assistance across India, backed by global manufacturer warranties.
- Can you supply access control turnstiles and sensor gates?
- Yes. Our Physical Access Systems range covers tripod, half-height and full-height turnstiles, sensor-controlled public passage gates and personal flow solutions, with protection classes such as RC2, WK2 and WK3 and safety sensors to DIN EN 16005.
- What doors do you offer for physically challenged users?
- Barrier-free solutions: low-energy automatic sliding and swing operators activated by push pad, accessible restroom doors with push-knob lock, release and emergency pull-cord, and revolving doors with a handicap button for temporary speed reduction.
- How much acoustic separation can an operable wall achieve?
- Skyfold vertical retractable walls reach a sound reduction index of up to 59 dB (Zenith 47–59 dB, Classic 51–59 dB, Mirage 34 dB with glazed inserts). Horizontal Variflex systems reach up to 58 dB.
- Do you still supply HSW horizontal sliding glass walls?
- No. That category has been discontinued. For flexible openings we recommend Muto manual sliding systems or Skyfold and Variflex movable walls, depending on the span and acoustic requirement.
- Why choose Alumina Engineering over another supplier?
- A focused architectural portfolio, in-house technical specification, single-vendor coordination from drawing to commissioning, and pan-India service support across the life of the installation.
