Reynaers Aluminium are committed to delivering the highest technical quality while pursuing meaningful sustainability. The Reynaers systems have earned internationally recognised quality and sustainability certifications — and we wear them proudly.
Whether you’re a homeowner, architect, or quantity surveyor, choosing the right joinery for your project means weighing quality against cost. Understanding what certifications mean helps you make a confident, informed decision. Reynaers Aluminium’s track record of recognised labels reflects that commitment clearly.
Why Quality Labels Matter
Quality certifications signal a manufacturer’s dedication to consistent production standards and long-term product performance — both of which directly contribute to your building’s value. They also demonstrate compliance with national and international regulations, and a genuine commitment to sustainability.
In South Africa, the construction industry is increasingly shaped by frameworks such as the Green Star SA rating system (administered by the Green Building Council South Africa), as well as national building regulations under SANS 10400 and energy efficiency standards under SANS 204.
Specifying certified, high-performance materials supports compliance with these standards and can positively influence your project’s Green Star scorecard. For residential and commercial developments alike, energy-efficient fenestration systems help reduce long-term operational costs — a critical consideration given South Africa’s ongoing energy challenges and rising electricity tariffs.
Reynaers Aluminium’s Quality Certificates
Reynaers takes pride in the lasting quality of all it’s systems. All Reynaers Aluminium windows and doors are CE-marked, confirming they meet rigorous European quality standards and legislation. Reynaers headquarters in Belgium operates under the ISO 9001 standard, underpinning a comprehensive quality management programme covering product quality, process control, and continuous improvement.
Reynaers Aluminium also offers a 10-year warranty on all systems and a 5-year warranty on hardware accessories — giving South African specifiers and homeowners the peace of mind they need for long-term projects.
The quality of coating and anodised finishes is certified under Qualicoat and Qualanod, ensuring high standards of service life, UV resistance, colour stability, and seal integrity. This is particularly relevant in the South African climate, where intense UV exposure, coastal salt air, and extreme temperature variation place demanding conditions on external finishes.
To maintain the commitment to quality innovation, Reynaers continuously invest in the Q Lab — a dedicated quality testing facility that benchmarks prototypes against the original design specification. This ensures every system reaching the South African market reflects the latest tested and approved aluminium solutions.
Sustainability Certifications
Reynaers Aluminium systems are compatible with several leading sustainable building rating tools used in South Africa and globally:
- Green Star SA — Administered by the Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA), Green Star SA is the primary voluntary rating system for sustainable buildings in the country. Specifying high-performance, certified aluminium systems can contribute meaningfully to credits across categories such as energy, materials, and indoor environment quality.
- LEED — The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system is globally recognised and increasingly used on commercial and mixed-use developments in South Africa. Reynaers Aluminium systems can support LEED point accumulation across relevant categories, and our team can provide the necessary documentation and technical support.
- BREEAM — For projects targeting BREEAM certification, our professionals can advise on how Reynaers systems contribute to the required sustainability score, particularly in the energy and materials categories.
- DGNB — For developments with an international sustainability mandate, DGNB certification recognises buildings designed with the long-term living environment in mind, from construction phase through to operational performance.
South Africa’s built environment is at a pivotal moment — with increasing pressure to build smarter, consume less energy, and use materials responsibly. Choosing certified aluminium systems from Reynaers is a practical step towards meeting those demands, whether you’re delivering a high-end residential home in the Cape Winelands, a commercial development in Sandton, or a coastal project along the Garden Route.
