For architects drawn to the clean, contemporary style of aluminium, there’s now a standout alternative that blends modern design with the impressive performance and sustainability of PVCu.

German-owned manufacturer VEKA, a leader in PVCu window and door systems, has launched Feinstruktur (Fine Structure), a finely textured decorative foil that brings the sleek look of powder-coated aluminium to PVCu profiles.

Feinstruktur meets the growing demand for cost-effective, sustainable alternatives to aluminium. While aluminium remains a popular choice, it has higher upfront costs, requires ongoing maintenance and is affected by price fluctuations driven by tariffs and supply chain issues.

By contrast, Veka’s PVCu systems offer a more energy-efficient solution with excellent thermal properties, making them a smart option for environmentally focused projects.

Feinstruktur offers the aluminium look and feel while retaining the thermal performance, durability and low maintenance of PVCu.

Available in eight contemporary colours - including Anthracite Grey, Basalt Grey and Quartz Grey - Feinstruktur delivers a tough, scratch-resistant surface built to withstand demanding conditions.

It is also fully recyclable and produced with sustainability in mind, aligning with Veka’s broader commitment to responsible manufacturing.

Feinstruktur pairs perfectly with OMNIA, Veka’s award-winning collection of double flush PVCu windows and doors. Omnia combines sleek aesthetics with top-tier thermal, acoustic and weather performance.

'Feinstruktur offers a compelling solution across multiple construction sectors,' says Tim James, national specification manager at Veka, 'enabling specifiers to meet client expectations for an aluminium-style finish, while delivering lower upfront costs, enhanced durability and a maintenance-free lifecycle. It’s the ideal choice for high-performance, design-conscious projects where form and function matter.'

Veka's German heritage is backed by British craftsmanship and quality - its UK arm is Veka plc. The firm has been family owned since 1969.
