The benefits of aluminum windows and doors

Building or renovating? In exterior joinery you have three options today, wood, PVC and aluminium windows. Steel windows belong to the fourth group but are noticeably more expensive than the three previous raw materials.

Aluminium windows are currently the most popular of the three because of their sleek design and durability.

Advantages of aluminum windows.

° Aluminum is a very sleek material and is lighter in weight. This makes it more comfortable for the installer to place.

° The lifespan of aluminium windows is also much longer than PVC and wood. And aluminium windows are 100% recyclable in the long term.

° The colours applied to the aluminium profiles are powder coated.

This means that the colour remains colourfast on the window profiles for much longer.

° By powder coating the aluminium windows you easily have a lifespan of 10 to 12 years before the discolouration is visible on your profile. Especially now that the trends are black windows in new or to be renovated homes.

° Another advantage of aluminum windows is that they do not warp or rust.

°Aluminum windows can also be installed in much larger window areas.

° Aluminium windows require less after-sales service in the long term and are less likely to sag than PVC or wooden windows.

Disadvantages of Aluminum windows.

° Aluminium windows are more expensive than PVC windows or wooden windows. Of course, everything depends on the design of the exterior joinery. Sleek with large windows or country style in steel look also have an effect on the price.

° You cannot paint aluminium windows yourself, so it is important to think carefully about the right RAL colour or textured paint you are going to choose from the start of your project.

° Never clean windows with corrosive products. Because aluminum windows are very sensitive to them. And you can damage the paint layer.
