Types and Benefits
Aluminium windows offer many advantages and the products have benefited significantly from advances in technology and fabrication in recent years. Aluminium’s durability and strength is well known – yet the product still has the advantage of being lightweight. With consumers today being ever more environmentally conscious, aluminium’s sustainable credentials and superb thermal properties score very highly.
Hardwearing aluminium windows are widely used in commercial buildings such as schools, restaurants and government buildings and over the past 15 years have become very popular for residential developments. The narrow sight lines that can be achieved with aluminium are a boon with modern architecture, and the modern availability of coloured or dual-colour windows adds to the design possibilities.
The fact that aluminium windows are crafted, with proper mitre cuts and joints, boosts the aesthetic appeal. Companies frequently offer a choice of casement style, tilt and turn or sash windows.
For assurance of quality, look for Kitemarking and guarantees on the product and installation.
