Aluminium Windows – Why Are They So Popular?
When we talk about aluminium windows, the first thing that comes to mind is an image of a solid metal frame through which heat easily escapes. Fortunately, this is no longer the case today. Technologies do not stand still, and window frames made of aluminium have also changed.
What is an aluminium frame today?
The system of aluminium window profiles consists of three elements: an outer and inner aluminium part, and a polymer insert placed between them, called a thermal break or thermal separator. It is this thermal break that prevents heat from transferring from the inner part of the profile to the outside. The thicker it is, the more energy-efficient the structure becomes. When choosing windows, always pay attention to their characteristics and compare them with the requirements in your area. Remember that energy saving is now a top priority due to rising energy prices.
Why can aluminium windows be better than PVC or wooden windows?
The ability to produce large structures with a minimal amount of profiles is one of the main advantages of aluminium windows. Just think how many profiles we see on panoramic windows made of PVC or wood. This happens because they lack sufficient rigidity, whereas aluminium profiles are stiffer and do not require additional reinforcements.
Aluminium windows also do not require constant maintenance. They do not need to be painted like wood, nor protected from fading in the sun — as is the case with PVC windows.
What is the price of aluminium windows?
The price of aluminium windows is higher than similar PVC windows and is comparable to the price of wooden windows. However, this should not be discouraging! Remember after how many years you wanted to order new PVC windows because something was wrong with the old ones. How much time and money was spent on maintaining wooden windows? Aluminium windows last for many years, and during this period you can save a lot of effort and money. The pleasure of using quality aluminium windows lasts for decades.
How to calculate the cost of aluminium windows?
For everyone interested in the price of windows, we recommend starting with a calculation for the entire property, rather than focusing only on the cost per square metre. Our team includes several engineers who will quickly calculate the costs, after which our managers will present a detailed quotation.
