When it comes to the material of a home's windows and doors, there are two important elements; this is because they let in light and fresh air as well as connecting the interior living space with the outdoors through views. Consumers are sometimes faced with a lot of choices when it comes to the windows they want for their home, considering that windows could be a major source of unwanted heat, especially during the summer, or also a major loss of heat during the winter.
With the sudden climate changes in Australia, consumers are becoming more environmentally aware, and thus, house designing companies have encouraged the use of aluminum windows, due to their energy efficiency standards. Other than the thermal benefit, there are other various reasons why it is more beneficial to use aluminum on glass doors and windows compared to using timber and uPVC. They include:
Low maintenance and durability
Aluminum has corrosive resistant qualities and a durable resistance against weathering while exposed to harsh environmental conditions, hence it provides low maintenance frames for the doors and windows. Also, unlike other materials, it does not swell, crack, or split over time and thus has an extended product life. It can also be painted to suit the consumer's desire.
Affordability
When it comes to frames for both doors and windows, aluminum is significantly cheaper compared to other framing options. It provides a strong and economical door and window solution. With the incorporation of glass, consumers achieve excellent energy outcomes.
Design flexibility
Aluminum has a lot of strength and flexibility in its manufacture to suit consumer specifications, which is only limited by their imagination. Aluminum offers an endless array of finishes that goes with any glass option, hence offering a wide range of possibilities for an economical user who prefers more elaborate systems and at the same time delivering great thermal performance.
Recyclability
Consumers are becoming more environmentally aware, and as a result the use of aluminum on glass windows and doors has become a valid option. Aluminum has the highest rates of recycling, making it an environmentally friendly and sustainable material.
Finishes
Doors and windows made of aluminum and glass material have a range of finishing options that ensures they can match any décor of the consumer's preference. Unlike other finishes, aluminum can also be coated, hence providing no need for repainting. It also offers a wide range of colors, giving the consumer the freedom of creating natural colors that integrate with the environment.
When it comes to selecting windows and doors, consumers should always look to combine high performance glass with quality and long-lasting frames. As Australia is getting warmer each day, the use of energy efficient doors and windows is hence very crucial.
