Globalisation, advances in manufacturing techniques and the growing concern for the use of materials that meet minimum quality criteria resulted in the creation of the CE marking in the European Community.

The CE marking is a guarantee labelling that ensures that industrial products that include it meet minimum manufacturing requirements.

What does this mean? That they have passed legal and technical examinations established by experts from the European Union and are considered suitable for installation and use.

An example of this is in the construction materials with which we work at Portalum.

Our aluminum fences have all the production guarantees both at national and European level and both they and the aluminum sliding doors or any other type of production of our company are backed by the CE marking.

What does CE Marking facilitate?

Firstly, the CE marking allows the product manufactured anywhere in the European Union to be marketed. This makes it possible for our aluminium fences, for example, to be put on sale in any country in the economic community.

In short, the EC is a kind of ‘passport’ that assures customers that this product meets the series of minimum requirements set by some twenty directives.

But, at the same time, it is a declaration of responsibility.

While allowing us to list the product at any point, it also means that we support the entire process of material selection, design and manufacture of our aluminium sliding doors.

Why ask the Installer for CE Marking?

For peace of mind. It is true that the CE marking is not the only guarantee that a construction product must comply with in order for it to be safe and in optimal condition, but it does suggest that the installation company works with production companies that focus on improving the quality of their production.

It is complex for a group that is in charge of working with aluminum fences certified with the CE mark to present other types of problems, since in the vocation and ethics of their business there is a commitment to work with the highest quality and guarantees for the customer.

This has a direct impact on the degree of customer satisfaction. That is why both architects and builders, interior designers and other professionals, focus on having as suppliers companies whose products are certified in this way.

European Control

To confirm that products bearing the CE marking truly comply with the minimums imposed by Europe, member states collaborate with their respective public authorities.

Exhaustive controls and inspections are carried out daily by the administrations, which have the capacity to sanction and fine companies that use the seal illegally or have lowered the quality requirements in their production.

At Portalum we strive every day to improve the quality of the products we launch on the market. Our aluminum fencing and aluminum sliding doors are CE marked, as well as other warranty seals that keep our quality level at the highest level.
