Progress never stands still, and constantly presents us with its new achievements. Construction, like any other field of human activity, does not remain aloof from innovation. One of the important elements of construction is the installation of windows. And in this regard, advanced technologies suggested to us – aluminum windows. Windows of this type have already become serious competitors for more familiar, metal -plastic.
It should be noted that the name “aluminum windows” is more likely than a professional name. Because, only a profile (frame) is made of aluminum, therefore, they should be called as “windows with an aluminum profile”. But still, it is better to adhere to the established terminology.
The scope of aluminum windows is quite wide. Such windows are installed both in private houses and in multi -storey. They can be seen in office buildings, and in the design of bars, shops, cafes, health centers, and many other similar institutions. An important characteristic of aluminum windows is their ability to withstand huge loads, so they are often found where a large window area is needed.
Many countries of the world, now produce aluminum windows. Among the largest manufacturers are Russia, Italy, Belgium and Germany. Thanks to a number of impressive advantages, aluminum windows conquer the whole large number of fans around the world. And oddly enough, it is precisely due to the use of aluminum, the superiority of this type of window is ensured. Aluminum has natural properties that provide the window with lightness and strength. After all, low weight and good strength indicators are important for the window profile in the first place. Transportation and installation of such windows, thanks to their light weight, will not be difficult. Another important advantage is durability – the window can last up to 80 years. What contributes to, high resistance to the influence of the external environment: temperatures in the range from + 50 to – 50 degrees, chemicals such as solvents and acids. And these are very important indicators when choosing a window profile.
Operation of aluminum windows, also showed advantages and advantages in favor of their use. Firstly, they are safe for health and not toxic. Secondly, compared to the same wooden and plastic, they do not burn. Thirdly, caring for them will not be, no special difficulties, because dirt and dust on them practically does not settle.
The design of aluminum windows is very diverse, both in shape and size and color. There are trapezoidal, rectangular, triangular, arched, small and very large windows. This is very important for lovers of fashion who need a special shape and color for the intricate interior of the room. Excellent appearance, aluminum windows can keep for a long time.
As well as metal -plastic, aluminum windows have excellent soundproofing properties. So, street sounds and noise, you will definitely not be worried.
More recently, aluminum windows had one significant drawback – thermal conductivity. By this they were inferior to metal -plastic. But today, thanks to the development of technology, this flaw managed to fix.
But thanks to this parameter, today aluminum windows are divided into two types: cold and warm. On the one hand, cold windows are called cold, because aluminum, like other metals, passes heat well, so it is better to use such windows in non -residential rooms where it is not necessary.
On the other hand, in warm aluminum windows, a special insert is used between the profiles, which is called – thermostat. It serves as a barrier that retains heat in the room, preventing it from going outside, and not letting out the frosty air from the street. Another difference between warm windows and cold ones is the best sound insulation, since the thermostat is made of polyamide, interesting material that can withstand any weather changes. Warm aluminum windows can be single and two-chamber with a thickness of 24 and 32 mm. By the way, double aluminum windows can be painted on both sides in different colors. Prices for warm aluminum windows are quite high, but over time they pay off the hundredfold.
Aluminum windows are also of different design types, which are determined by the way of opening the window. There are three main types: deaf, which do not open at all; Opening- (rotary, folding, rotary-oxide, phrama), which can open and outward and outward; combined, in which part of the window opens, and the other is not.
When painting windows, the method of powder spraying is used, which, as opposed to anodizing (other coloring method), allows you to achieve a wider spectrum of colors.
Aluminum windows have disadvantages: cold – pass heat, warm – high cost. But, despite this, the aluminum windows are inherent in undeniable advantages – convenience and quality. In any case, having selected aluminum windows, you will win.
