With the continuous development of the construction industry and technological advancement, choosing suitable door and window materials has become one of the important considerations in modern house design. In the field of architectural decoration, aluminum alloy materials have gradually emerged due to their many advantages, becoming a popular choice to replace traditional wooden frames and UPVC materials.
10 advantages of aluminum used in windows and doors
1. Light weight, high strength, strong and safe
Aluminum, with a specific gravity of only 2.7 g/cm³, is exceptionally lightweight compared to steel or copper. This lightness makes it ideal for window and door frames, while still offering exceptional strength and durability.
Its excellent strength also enhances home safety, as aluminum frames provide impressive impact resistance and effective property protection when paired with high-quality locks..
2. Good processing performance, easy to make into frames, not easy to break
Aluminum alloy's excellent processing properties make it easy to create frames. Through an extrusion process, preheated aluminum alloys are pressed into shaped profiles and joined together to form frames.
This method allows for complex shapes while maintaining strength and durability. Aluminum's ductility ensures toughness during bending, press-forming, or drawing into thin wires without compromising strength. Thus, aluminum frames meet design requirements and ensure long-term stability.
3. Easy to form alloys, wide alloy selection, flexible design
Aluminum alloys, by blending with elements like silicon and magnesium, enhance physical properties for specific applications. For example, these alloys yield high-strength, heat-treatable, formable, weldable, and corrosion-resistant aluminum profiles.
Aluminum windows, versatile for modern or traditional settings, accommodate diverse styles and needs. Their flexibility suits various window shapes, including arched or rounded, ideal for homes with unique architectural features. Whether emphasizing appearance, security, environmental friendliness, or personalized design, aluminum alloy windows cater to different preferences.
4. Various surface treatment methods, fashionable and beautiful choice
Aluminum alloy doors and windows achieve stylish looks through surface treatments like anodizing or powder coating. Anodizing creates a durable, uniform texture integrated with the aluminum itself, while powder coating offers a wide color range and smooth finish.
Compared to traditional uPVC tinting, powder coating for aluminum windows is more efficient and reliable, allowing for rich, vivid colors. Architects, designers, and homeowners have the freedom to choose visual elements that suit their preferences, whether for a modern, sleek appearance or a more traditional, textured finish.
5. Corrosion-resistant, rust-resistant, long service life
Aluminum forms a protective layer of aluminum oxide when exposed to air, resisting corrosion from weather and cleaning products. Unlike wood or PVC-U frames, aluminum window frames won't expand, crack, split, or warp due to weather.
Anodizing or powder coating further enhances aluminum's corrosion resistance. This durability is a major advantage; wear and weathering don't diminish aluminum's mechanical strength over decades. In door and window production, aluminum typically lasts 50-60 years, compared to PVC's shorter lifespan of 25-30 years.
6. Thermal insulation, sound insulation, fire protection
Aluminum windows and doors excel in thermal insulation, using advanced materials like polyamide to prevent temperature conduction and maintain indoor comfort. This technology eliminates issues like condensation, thermal expansion, and frame deformation.
Sound insulation is also prioritized, with high-quality sealing materials and triple-glazed windows ensuring a quieter indoor environment, ideal for urban areas with high noise levels. Moreover, aluminum's non-combustible nature and A1 fire rating provide additional safety, as it doesn't contribute to fire spread or emit harmful substances during a fire.
7. Offers maximum brightness and more options
Aluminum doors and windows offer unique designs and material properties, ideal for modern aesthetics with their strength and minimalist design. Their slim frames maximize glass area, bringing brightness to spaces while accommodating large glass pieces safely. Architects prefer aluminum for its versatility, making it suitable for modern properties, high-rise buildings, and classic-style homes alike.
8. Easy to maintain
When building or renovating a home, we need solutions that are both beautiful and functional. Aluminum doors and windows only need to be cleaned with a mild detergent to maintain their appearance and functionality, as they require little maintenance, are naturally resistant to sunlight, moisture and impact, and can be restored to like new with a little soapy water, no professional required cleaning equipment.
9. Cost-effectiveness
Aluminum is an ideal, economical solution for windows and doors in any home or commercial application. Much cheaper than other framing options such as wood. If your business has multiple commercial door and window frames that need to be installed or replaced, choosing aluminum as the framing material can save homeowners thousands of dollars and is, on average, less expensive than frames made from other materials like vinyl or wood.
10. Recyclable, environmentally friendly
Aluminum is a fully recyclable material, made from 100% non-toxic materials, and the production process has a low impact on the environment. Aluminum is one of the most easily recyclable metals, with the same quality as virgin aluminum, and the recycling process consumes only five percent of the energy of initial production. Choosing aluminum doors and windows is not only an investment in your own future, but also an investment in the future of the planet, helping to reduce your carbon footprint and protect the environment.
