Encasa isn’t just about looks; it’s a system designed to simplify fabrication, streamline installation, and give trade professionals a reliable, profitable product they can depend on.
The internal steel-look market continues to grow, driven by homeowners, architects, and developers looking to open up interior spaces while keeping them practical. But while the aesthetic appeal is clear, many systems have historically added complexity at the shop floor or on-site.
That’s where Encasa stands apart. Designed by Deceuninck Aluminium with direct input from fabricators and installers, it puts production efficiency and on-site simplicity front and centre, without compromising on design.
Made with fabricators in mind
Encasa has been developed as part of the broader Decalu range, already known for its modular construction, pre-inserted gaskets, and simplified stockholding. Those same principles apply here.
With ultra-slim 34mm aluminium profiles that echo classic steel-framed partitions, Encasa delivers the high-end finish the market wants, but with fewer headaches for the people fabricating and fitting it.
“Encasa was developed to give fabricators control,” says Darren Woodcock, General Manager at Deceuninck Aluminium. “There’s a lot of pressure on the trade to deliver fast, keep costs down, and still provide something that looks great. Encasa helps tick all three boxes.”
The system is flexible enough for a wide range of internal applications, single and French doors, partitions, heavy-weight pivot systems, and even pocket doors. It supports sash weights up to 150kg and door heights up to 2.5 metres.
But crucially, it’s engineered for fast throughput: manufacturing time is reduced by up to 25%, and installation times are cut by 30% compared to more complex internal systems.
Smarter installation, fewer components
One of Encasa’s standout features is its integrated lock block and kick plate. It combines multiple functions into a single component, cutting down on part numbers, reducing stock, and speeding up fabrication.
“Less handling, less setup, less to go wrong,” Darren explains. “We’ve simplified the process wherever possible. Whether you’re fabricating in batches or fitting on a busy site, that makes a difference.”
Encasa also includes optional soft-open and soft-close sliding features, plus pneumatic push-close/open options for pocket doors, adding a premium user feel without adding unnecessary install time.
All components are designed to work within a straightforward modular framework, aligning with the wider Decalu system used across Deceuninck Aluminium’s product range.
Efficiency, profitability and future-proofing
Encasa responds directly to the needs of fabricators looking to expand their offer and keep more work in-house. It gives them the ability to quote competitively, retain more margin, and deliver a high-quality product quickly.
It also fits with growing demand for sustainable, space-saving solutions. Encasa uses recyclable aluminium, is built with waste reduction in mind, and aligns with the push toward more circular manufacturing models.
“Installers and fabricators want systems that are quick to make, easy to fit, and low on call-backs,” Darren concludes. “Encasa delivers on that. It’s not about reinvention, it’s about smart design that works on the ground.”supply model they can rely on,” Darren concludes. “We’re here to help them operate with more freedom, more flexibility and more confidence in what they deliver.”
