It is the expansion of complete system families. Customers can now move more easily from individual profiles and frame components to boxed gate, fence and patio configurations, while still keeping access to custom project support. For a contractor, that means a cleaner path from takeoff to material package. For a homeowner or DIY customer, it means more products can be ordered as coordinated groups instead of sourcing a frame, posts, slats, spacers and hardware from unrelated suppliers. For designers and builders, the same black, bronze, white and wood-look directions can be carried across gates, fences, patio structures and cladding.

Contact Aluglobus before finalizing a project schedule so current stock, finish and configuration can be confirmed. 01 | DIY gate frames Start with the frame, then choose the gate design around the project The updated DIY frame-only line gives customers a structural starting point without forcing one infill style. The current catalog lists frame sizes of 4 x 6, 6 x 6 and 6 x 8, with black, bronze and white configurations. Each frame package is organized around the vertical gate frames, frame caps, top and bottom horizontal members, heavy-duty hinges, a gate stopper and compatibility with the Universal Slat Adapter. Post support can then be selected around the opening condition instead of treating every installation the same. Wall-to-wallHinge post and L-side post configurations are available for enclosed openings. Wall and footingPost options allow a gate to transition from a building surface to a concrete-supported side. Wall mount2-way post options support compact mounting conditions where appropriate. Heavy-duty support3-inch and 4-inch post options are available for project-specific footing, wall-mount and standalone conditions. This modular approach is especially useful when the final appearance is still being decided. A contractor can establish the opening and frame condition first, then coordinate ALU slats, wood-look profiles or another compatible infill direction before final assembly.

ALU 20Fine horizontal rhythmALU 20 gate configurations use slimmer horizontal members and are listed with adjustable gap directions for a lighter, more open appearance. ALU 40Architectural slat gateALU 40 uses a wider 4-inch slat direction and is available in black as well as expanding boxed configurations in bronze and white. ALU 60 T&GFuller privacy directionThe tongue-and-groove profile is the most privacy-oriented option in the updated DIY line, including solid-color and wood-look combinations. Wood-look ALU 40 gate configurations combine a warm architectural finish with an aluminum frame. Black, bronze and whiteThe boxed gate program expands the standard solid-color choices, making it easier to coordinate gates with adjoining fence runs and architecture. Wood-look optionsALU 40 and ALU 60 T&G wood-look configurations create a warmer visual direction while keeping the structural system aluminum-based. Frame plus slatsComplete configurations reduce the need to build a material list from individual profile lengths for common gate sizes. Project-specific postsThe support condition is still selected around the actual opening, wall condition, footing and intended use. New sliding package 19 ft x 6 ft frame-only configuration The listed package brings the main sliding-gate frame and movement components into one coordinated starting point before motor selection. Frame4 x 2 vertical and horizontal aluminum frame components. Track40 ft steel track system with listed screws. MovementTwo wheels are included with the frame package. StopsLock stopper and gate stopper are included. Motor/operator selection remains separate and should be matched to the finished gate, duty cycle, safety devices and site conditions. 03 | Contractor gate line Heavy-duty pedestrian frames and a new DIY sliding gate frame expand the contractor side of the catalog The heavy-duty pedestrian line remains a different system from the universal DIY frame. The updated HD packages are listed in 4 x 6, 6 x 6 and 6 x 8 sizes and use 2 x 4 aluminum frame members, internal corner hardware, channel kits, an integrated L-stopper and heavy-duty double-support hinges. For sliding gates, the new catalog adds a 19-foot-wide by 6-foot-high frame-only package. The listed package includes the aluminum frame, a steel track system, two wheels, a lock stopper and gate stopper. The operator is intentionally separate so motorization can be matched to the actual opening, gate weight, duty cycle, safety devices and site conditions. Choose the line by the job: the universal DIY system is intended to simplify standard assembly. The heavy-duty line is the stronger starting point when the project has larger dimensions, more demanding hardware or contractor-level requirements. 04 | Fence Gen 3 The fence system is becoming more modular, more color-coordinated and easier to package The Gen 3 update organizes the fence around boxed post kits, end-post kits, spacer packs and new ALU slat boxes instead of relying only on loose individual components. The new 2.75-inch 2-way post kits are listed in black, bronze and white. Standard post boxes include the post, cap, L-brackets, bottom spacers and fastening components. End-post boxes add the closing-side cover strip for the blank side of the post. Spacer packs are organized by gap size so the installer can create a repeatable layout along the run. The current Gen 3 program includes 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch spacer directions, depending on the selected profile and design. The slat side of the update centers on two families: ALU 40 4-inch profiles and ALU 60 T&G privacy profiles. New 8-foot slat boxes are listed in black, bronze and white, and complete 8 x 6 fence packages combine the slats with the new post-kit system. Explore Aluminum Fence Systems The Gen 3 direction is built around a cleaner component system for posts, spacers, slats and full fence runs. ALU 40A wider architectural slat for modern horizontal fence layouts with controlled spacing. ALU 60 T&GA privacy-oriented tongue-and-groove profile for projects that want a more continuous fence face. Three standard colorsBlack, bronze and white create a broader standard palette before custom finish discussions begin. 05 | New patio package A 13 x 19 automatic louver patio cover is moving into a boxed system format One of the most substantial additions in the September update is a boxed 13 x 19 automatic louver patio cover package. The system is listed with four finish combinations: black frame with black louvers, black frame with Warm Teak wood-look louvers, white frame with white louvers, and white frame with White Oak wood-look louvers. The listed package is organized around four 6 x 6 posts, 10 x 4 beam components, 6 x 1.5 louver blades, lighting-related components, a 110V motor and a rain sensor. The structural aluminum components are identified as 6063-T6 with AAMA 2604 Super-Durable powder coating. For contractors and serious DIY buyers, this creates a clearer starting package for a standard patio footprint. Custom patio systems remain a separate path for projects that need different dimensions, cantilever geometry, custom attachment conditions or project-specific engineering. Explore Patio Cover Systems Send Patio Dimensions 06 | Automatic louver ecosystem The louver system is expanding beyond the roof kit into a deeper component and control platform The update also expands the individual parts behind an automatic louver roof, which is important for larger custom projects, contractors and replacement-component planning. StructureLong-span componentsExtruded gutters are listed in 16, 20 and 24-foot lengths. The 2 x 10 beam family extends through 20, 24 and 32-foot lengths, while 8-inch louver blades are listed in 20 and 24-foot lengths. MechanismLink and pivot hardwareLink bars, pivot strips, link pins, pivot pins, fin seals, motor brackets and a 12V linear actuator support the moving-roof mechanism. ControlSmarter operationThe system includes multi-channel control options plus Bond Sidekick Gen 3, Bond Bridge PRO and Bond Breeze PRO components for connected control and weather feedback. The current catalog lists White, Sand, Clay, Black, Bronze and Gray among the color directions available within the automatic-louver product range. This creates more flexibility when the patio structure needs to coordinate with windows, doors, railings, cladding or other exterior metal. Connected controls: Bond Bridge PRO is listed as an indoor hub for smart-device integration, while Bond Breeze PRO is an exterior sensor for rain, sun and wind feedback. Final automation, electrical and sensor placement should be coordinated around the project and installation instructions. 07 | Patio roof and structure Insulated roof finishes and structural patio components continue to broaden the design range The updated catalog is not limited to automatic louvers. Solid insulated roof panels are listed in White or Desert Sand, with wood-grain directions including Western Cedar and Ponderosa Pine. That gives customers another way to create a solid-roof patio with a warmer ceiling appearance while keeping the overall system within the Aluglobus architectural aluminum family. The structural catalog also includes 2 x 10 and 2 x 8 aluminum beam sizes, gutters, 6 x 6 and 8 x 8 posts, LED channels, insulated-panel U-channels and 3 x 3 lattice profiles. This matters for custom work because a patio is not just a roof panel. The beams, posts, drainage, lighting path, attachment and final roof type all need to work together. 08 | AeroLouver AeroLouver adds a privacy-focused profile family with more architectural depth and airflow The AeroLouver update introduces multiple extruded profiles that can create a privacy screen without making every design a flat solid wall. The family includes the Max Rail lateral profile, a slimmer flat profile and a curved blade profile with a distinctive architectural edge. The curved AeroLouver blade is described with an approximately 0.8-inch air gap, creating ventilation while maintaining the appearance of a highly private screen. A dedicated aluminum post profile completes the family so the infill and support system can be designed together. This profile direction is especially interesting for modern fences, privacy screens, side-yard enclosures and projects where depth, shadow and airflow matter as much as direct sightline control.

CLAD120 and CLAD100CLAD120 is listed as a 5-1/4 x 3/4-inch profile in 19-foot lengths, while CLAD100 uses a 4 x 3/4-inch format. Finish directions include Black, Ipe, Walnut and Yellow Oak across the family. Click System expansionThe Click System includes multiple face widths, low-close and water-oriented profiles, inside and outside corners, back covers, finish angles, extension pieces and a low click rail for interior and exterior applications. Installed black architectural aluminum wall cladding. Wood-look aluminum cladding profile showing the aluminum substrate and architectural face. The result is a stronger path for projects that want gates, fences, patio structures and wall finishes to share one coordinated metal and finish language. That is particularly useful on modern residential projects, multifamily exteriors, hospitality spaces and commercial feature walls. Explore Aluminum Cladding Who the update is for More options do not mean every customer should order the same way Contractors & installersUse boxed systems when repetition and fast takeoffs matter, then move into loose profiles or heavy-duty components when the project requires more custom fabrication. Builders & developersCoordinate gates, fence runs, patios and cladding around a shared finish direction, then standardize repeatable components across multiple units or projects. Homeowners & serious DIYStart with a defined gate, fence or patio package, then ask Aluglobus which post, infill, finish and accessory combination matches the actual opening and site. Best way to request a quote: send photos, approximate dimensions, the product family you like, desired color or wood-look finish, and whether the project is material-only or requires installation support in a serviced market. The Aluglobus team can then identify the right system path before an order is finalized. Final thoughts The 2026 update is about giving each project a clearer system path The expanded catalog gives contractors, builders, designers and DIY customers more ways to start with a defined aluminum system, then choose the frame, profile, finish, hardware and project support that fit the actual job. For standard openings, boxed gate, fence and patio configurations can simplify material planning. For larger spans, custom geometry, specialized mounting conditions or coordinated architectural work, Aluglobus can still build the material package around the project instead of forcing the project into one fixed configuration. The best next step is to send the project dimensions, photos and preferred design direction so availability, finish options and the correct system can be confirmed before ordering.
